All Good Things

A Jack Hart Mystery, Book 1

By: Rosemary Reeve

Narrated by: Noah DeBiase

Jack Hart is a young attorney trying to escape a troubled past as he climbs the ladder at a big Seattle law firm. The demands and indignities of associate life have been softened by his interest in his mentor, Harmony Piper, granddaughter of the firm’s founder. When Harmony disappears, Jack learns firm secrets and dangers he could not have imagined - and may not survive.

Set in 1990s Seattle, this first installment of the Jack Hart mystery series reflects a world before smartphones and constant connectivity, where a responsible and hardworking attorney says a cheerful good-bye to her colleague at midnight - and simply vanishes before morning.

A light, suspenseful mystery

There's very little courtroom drama in this story, but quite a lot of realistic suspense. This is a light mystery with little or no sex or strong language. The characters are well developed and interesting enough to make this a series worth following. And they are appropriately voiced by Noah DeBiase.

Satisfying mystery, Stellar narrator

I really enjoyed this satisfying steady paced murder mystery novel. It’s propelled by a talented narrator who really knows how to deliver. I found it to be as light or as heavy of a listen as I wanted it to be. If I missed a detail or two because I was distracted, it didn’t take away from me enjoying the story....yet no details appeared were wasted so I think if I listened again I’d find new things I missed!

I think one of the most lovely things of this book was the way Jack thought of Harmony. It lent a romantic undertone to the storyline I loved.

I really cannot speak highly enough of the narrator, it’s what attracted me to the book in the first place. He makes a great Jack!

Tense!

All the twists and turns hold your attention throughout!

Noah DeBiase does a great job narrating. He knows his characters well!

Will The Denoument Ever End?

Rosemary Reeve unfolds a catchy mystery in "All Good Things'" opening. Hours and hours later she ends the story... but doesn't. Nope, realizing readers are crushed in loose ends she has a bunch of people explain what happened. And Explain... Then, well... explain.

Reeve's writes good action/suspense scenes. Her characters are dull, except for the heroine... she's also inexplicable. Worse, after getting denoument over everything, the book still didn't end. Nope, with an emotional cliff hanger, it's going to continue into the next one.

As for Noah DeBiase, well his boyish voice might be right for the hero's wuss-naïveté but it fails to explain how this character managed to climb from under... way under... abject poverty to snag an undergrad degree in marketing, then a law degree from schools that landed him a job with his city's richest legal firm. Given his background and his wimpy-ness, that's almost the biggest mystery Ms. Reeves spins.

In fact there are more holes in this plot than a Florida election ballot. Which explains the need for lots and lots of denoument. The huge mystery is why doesn't Jack Hart think and/or act like any man I know? Yeah, there's a risk that male leads in. mysteries might have testosterone derangement syndrome. But this Hart guy runs on empty. Wuzzup widdat?

Ms. Reeves has strong technique and I hope she grows more succinct as the series goes on. I'll not going on with it.
