A Tooth for a Tooth

Roy Ballard Mysteries, Book 5

By: Ben Rehder

Narrated by: Johnny Peppers

Lennox Armbruster was struck by a speeding vehicle - but was it an accident or an insurance scam gone wrong? Roy Ballard is hired to find out, and he soon learns there’s a third possibility: attempted murder. Joe Jankowski, the man who hit Armbruster, is a tough-talking player in the construction industry, and a feud with one of his former employees has shown that he has a temper to match his brash personality. When Roy and his partner Mia Madison attempt to dig deeper, they learn just how far Jankowski will go to shut down their investigation.

Another good story about Roy and Mia

Tooth for Tooth Roy Ballard Mysteries #5 4/5 7 hrs and 10 minutes

We are back for another edition of Roy Ballard and his partner, Mia.

Johnny Peppers does an amazing job as narrator. I do most books @ 1.2 speed, enjoy him enough that I listen @ 1.o

Mystery, romance, and humor are all in this book. None of them has me rolling my eyes at how unrealistic one or more elements are.

This is a fun, quick listen. Over the past few weeks, I listened to the last 4 books. I plan on listening to the next one. I love books of this quality that are also included in membership. Then I can keep going through them.

What starts as a simple case of did the person who got hit by a car fake his injuries, or are they real? Then leads them down a much darker and darker mystery, and murder is involved. As they start to learn more, it becomes more dangerous for Mia & Roy.

Love how the relationship between Roy & Mia is written and the path it's taking.

Roy Ballard is. back!!!

I really really like this series and wish Ben Rehder would concentrate more on this one as opposed to his Blanco County series which I could never get into (I tried).
Anyway, this is book #5 in this series. As with most series I would suggest listening to these books in order. They can be listened to as stand alone books but because of Ballard's developing relationship with his girlfriend I think some parts will make more sense.
The publisher's summary gives a small peek at the plot. While Ballard is investigating what may be insurance fraud he finds that the owner of the vehicle that hit a man crossing the street had previously been involved in some kind of scam. That man has been missing ever since. Ballard thinks there may be a connection but as soon as he starts trying to connect the two someone tried to kill him right on his own front steps. Then another involved person goes missing and someone is following Ballard's girlfriend.
This book has so many twists you really have to listen or you'll be lost.
Excellent suspense mystery with a little sarcasm thrown in.
Johnny Peppers does a great job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You.

The Roy Ballard and Mia saga continues

Roy and Mia are partners in an insurance scam investigation business. They are also engaged to be married, but Roy will likely screw that up. Investigating insurance fraud involves video cameras and GPS trackers, so it should be safe but it's not because Roy Ballard gets mixed up in murders and other heavy criminal activity. The Roy Ballard series is an outstanding suspense mystery/thriller series and A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH is the best novel yet in the series. Johnny Peppers narrates superbly as usual.

grow up mia

Leave no stone unturned and no witness alive. Tenacity! So much corruption from small time scams to revenge and big time paybacks. Wow!
Everybody wants their pound of flesh for the ax they grind!! I was upset with Mia for leaving Roy in limbo the whole story. Maybe she really isn't the ONE!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job with voices and expressions.
