On Borrowed Time

We have all had dreams that are so vivid that we have to ask ourselves, did that happen?  Well for Richard Kilmer his reality and sanity are being called into question.  Has he just lost Jennifer, the love of his life in a freak car accident, or has he imagined his whole life with her?  Not even his best friend will acknowledge her existence.

On Borrowed Time is the first book I have listened to by David Rosenfelt.  I have always thought his books looked intriguing but just never got around to listening to one.  Well, now I wonder why I waited so long. 

One of the reasons I like listening to mystery and suspense titles is enjoy trying to figure out what is going to happen.  At some points during the story I wanted to yell at Richard, don’t you see what is going on?  But in the end I missed two key points of who was behind Richard “losing” his mind.  Throughout the story I did find myself thinking, “What? Really? Did not see that coming!” Since I enjoyed this book so much, some of my co-workers are now listening to On Borrowed Time.  I can’t wait to see what they think of this audiobook.

As well has this being my first David Rosenfelt title, this is my first time listening to the narrator Chris Ensweiler.  I enjoyed his narration. He was not hard to understand and even his female voices were not bad.  The only thing that got on my nerves a bit was that he was constantly saying, “He said” and “She said”.  I can’t blame the narrator for reading what is published. 

As an investigative reporter, Richard Kilmer is used to unearthing the truth but can he find the truth behind his memory loss before Jennifer is not the only one gone?
