Becoming Quinn

Jonathan Quinn Series Prequel

By: Brett Battles

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Most careers begin with an interview and a handshake. Others require a little something more.

Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22-year-old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found - and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

Every identity has an origin. This is Quinn's.

A bit confusing

I enjoyed the book a lot. My husband, however, couldn’t follow the characters or plot. I constantly had to tell him who was who and whether they were good guys or bad. I’m sure it doesn’t help that we only listen in the car a little each day.

Great start

A good series beginning and will start now to begin reading the first of many episodes.

Potential New Series

I started with this book which was written after several other books in the Quinn series. It explains how Jonathan Quinn becomes a cleaner. If the earlier books are written as well, then I'll definitely become invested in the series. I plan to read the first book next and see where this series goes.

Although the book has some unrealistic situations typical of this genre, I found most of the book believable enough. However, I couldn't quite buy into the concept that Durrie would decide to mentor a person he was told to eliminate. The author tried to write a reasonable scenario on why he did this, but it's hard to believe that Durrie would go to such lengths in an attempt to recruit an unknown like Jake.

Loved it!

Absolutely loved the story and narration. Going to start the second book now! Listen to this book!
