Behind Closed Doors

Eddie Flynn, Book 1

By: Michael Donovan

Narrated by: Simon Blood DeVay

Family feuds, booze, and bad company. Teenager Rebecca Slater's walk on the wild side has taken a downward spiral. And now she's disappeared.

But her family don't seem to have noticed.

Wealthy, private, dysfunctional, the Slaters deny that their daughter is missing - even as they block all attempts by Rebecca's friends to contact her.

So, the friends contact a private investigator.

Eddie Flynn is good at finding people. And he's good at spotting lies. It doesn't take him long to see through the Slaters' denials. So he digs around, and isn't too surprised when some unpleasant people come scuttling out of the cracks in their perfect world.

But for these people the teenager's disappearance is part of a plan. One that's too important to be threatened by an investigator with more persistence than sense. So it's time for the investigator to disappear.

Good story and narrator, 1st book in series

A good beginning to a detective series. Eddie Flynn felt like an update on the classic detective story. He's fast with the comebacks against the bad guys. And the mystery was interesting without unnecessary gore which I appreciated. The only downside was that the audio book did not sync to the ebook. I had to go to the beginning of the chapter I was reading or listening to and figure out where I was, when I switched from listening to reading.
