Pretty funny and interesting, a good listen while driving to and from our weekend hike.
Meh
I barely finished one out of 3 stories. Even thought I liked the premise I found it so boring.
Inside Jobs was filled with 3 novellas of crime. In it, you will read The Crimson Parrot, The Cape House, and Stop Motion. They all have one thing in common as well: time in quarantine. The first book was hilarious. I mean even the synopsis made me snort because of the whole gang working from home situation. Then there's the second book, which was all about two brothers who haven't really connected in a long time. All it took was for a lovely quarantine to bring them back together. Last, but not...
The Crimson Parrot - A genuinely funny take on what happens when the hard-case criminals from classic noir detective novels have to work from home. The Cape House - fun story progression as the characters reveal themselvesStop Motion - meh
The first of what is sure to be a new genre - social distancing fiction. Amusing in a time I’m LONGING to be amused. These three stories didn’t explore the depths of this experience but, they are a quick, fun time-stamp version of our time. The first story is my favorite and made me actually laugh out loud several times. The second two seem like good stories that were edited to place them in the time of COVID-19, but who can blame the author for that?? It’s more productive than I’ve been during
I really enjoyed the three stories, especially the first one. I even chuckled a few times listening to the story. The accents the narrator did for the first story were what made it really good. These stories were even better with being confined during this current pandemic. It makes you wonder if things like this are going on. Definitely worth listening to. Great characters and stories.
Idk what I just forced myself through, but it wasn't memorable.
So the first one kind of sucked but these got better as they went on, especially Stop Motion.
I absolutely LOVED this series of short stories! It wss great to have something written during a time in which we are living. The narrators were EXCELLENT and I do not regret picking this book to listen to. I got a number of laughs and some suspense. It was perfect.
This is comprised of three short crime stories set during the pandemic. The first incorporates some humor when describing the downside of a group of gangsters plotting a crime via zoom. The next two stories are less entertaining. One involves an unplanned reunion of brothers and the other is a take on Rear Window. At least I got this for free.
I have migraine hangover today. If you aren't familiar (lucky) it's the day AFTER I get a migraine, where I just feel... well, hungover. Slow, stupid brain, headachy, tired, run down. Hungover - but without the fun drinking part. Work sucked, then I tried to take a nap, and that failed because apparently I can't nap anymore... I ordered takeout and decided to listen to something short before my April reading obligations start. So I headed over to the Audible app, and I found that my mom (whose a...
Definitely recommend this Audible original. Cool the the short stories were set in quarantine
There amazing stories with great narrators! The first story was pretty funny The second story was a perfect example of a short thriller. It was strange, suspenseful and creepy. It was great. I think story there was my favorite. Jay Jay was an awesome main character. All in all, a must listen for any fan of audiobooks and short stories.
Very smart and very funny stories about "Crime in the age of quarantine." They are mostly funny, but since crime is involved there is drama and tragedy too.Good quick listen, and amazing narrators.
First story was very entertaining and funny, definitely 5 stars. The second story was okay about 3 stars and the third story was good 4 stars.The first story three criminals make plans to complete a heist they had intended to do before the stay at home situation interrupted things.The second story two estranged brothers find themselves alone together in their childhood home as they try to organize their recently deceased father's estate.The third story is definitely a take on Rear Window.
I love getting good Audible originals. This is a compilation of three “quarantine” times stories. There’s humor, there’s creepiness, and some disturbing stuff. You know, the things we all need to make it through challenging times. Excellent narration, and the length is just about right.
3.5 starsI've been checking out a lot of Audible freebies because they're free and I'm cheap. This collection of three short stories caught my eye, especially as they're set in our current, pandemic times.The first story was a clever idea, but went on too long. The tale of mafia guys trying to plan crimes zoom meetings. The premise and opening scene are pretty hilarious. It goes a bit down hill from there. Honestly the first scene could have stood alone as its own short short story.The second wa...
Short stories that are very entertaining. Great writing style. Would definitely recommend!
First Out-of-the-Gate Quarantine Book?Review of the Audible Original audiobook (April 30, 2020) of three original short stories.Inside Jobs is the first quickie book from the quarantine that I am aware of and is not a bad effort for something that had to have been done extremely quickly with audio production added on top. I do know one previous Ben H. Winters book Golden State (2019) which was a future dystopia state detective novel with various surprises. The three stories of Inside Jobs take v...
