Calling the main female character Orlando should have been my tip off that this was not going to be a good story. That and the other two female characters either started off dead or ended up dying. Also, Orlando was always Orlando, Nate was Nate, but Jonathan Quinn was only ever Quinn. Like why? Why have this as the naming convention?

Otherwise it’s a pretty standard spy thriller. There’s a twist that is sort of predictable. The rest of it is fine. I listened to the audiobook and read the book. It’s fine but just got tired of the only female character who spent most of the book fetching and carrying and being told what to do by the literally bigger white male.

Pretty good espionage type thriller. The Cleaner brings you the action from the clean up crew point of view the fist book in the Jonathan Quinn series. Fixing, cleaning and smoothing out all the after effects of the actions of the espionage agents. I gave it 3 but if there was 3.5 rating that is what it should have warranted, just wasn't a 4.

A run of the mill spy story. A pleasant distraction while travelling, but really no more than that. I listened on audiobook, and as always, Scott Brick did a fantastic job of performing this book.

I enjoyed it, I listened to the audio and with Scott Brick narrating it was sure to be even more of thrill ride. I'm excited to listen to the next book.

I'm not sure that the title is relevant, but the story is exactly what you expect it to be. There is no heavy lifting here, no complex puzzel to be solved, just a solid escapist thriller book.

Action-packed page-turner. Good for the beach.
