Would you try another book from A.C. Fuller and/or Jeff Hays?
Yes. I typically don’t read thrillers but I’ll make an exception here because I’m curious to know what else is in store for Alex Vane!

AC Fuller brings out the dilemma that most journalists face in their careers: conscientious versus sensational reporting, and the protagonist is probably born from the author’s own experiences. He undoubtedly draws from John Grisham. It’s like an old-fashioned thriller, with more chase and less mystery. Also, this book will appeal to the over-35 or over-40 reader: someone who can relate to 9/11 and the towers, and who has seen a time when a USB drive and an iPod were actually a novelty!

I deducted a star for the implausibility of the little man playing the role he does, a bit like the albino in the Da Vinci Code. Also, it seems strange that a practical, fitness-obsessed guy can be so attracted to a moody, sedentary woman. Some parts remain unclear, such as the source’s real motivation, which is deliberate — the author wants you to read his next book!

Who was your favorite character and why?
Sadie Green. Candid and undiplomatic, which is rather amusing.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The audio version is narrated with great intonation and voice imitation by Jeff Hays. However, many of the women sound similar. At times, I could not distinguish between Camila and her mother, or Camila and Juan. I think it’s important to use two or three narrators instead of just one Jeff Hays.
Was The Anonymous Source worth the listening time?
With this being a full reading of the print version, nine hours is too long a listen. I have this kind of patience with non-fiction, but I was getting a bit impatient here.
Any additional comments?
I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
