Braineater Jones

By: Stephen Kozeniewski

Narrated by: Steve Rimpici

No memory. No pulse. No clue.

The undead private eye everybody calls “Braineater Jones” has an axe to grind. Somebody plugged him and dumped his corpse in a swimming pool.

Worse yet, his memory’s gone. He has no idea who killed him or why.

But he’s damn sure going to find out.

With a smartass severed head as a partner, Jones hangs up his shingle in the city’s undead quarter. When he’s not solving cases (poorly), Jones is always looking to keep his flask full.

Prohibition is in full swing, and the dead need alcohol to function. Without liquor they become mindless, flesh-munching ghouls. (In a word: braineaters.)

Everything will probably be fine. The investigation into his own murder probably won’t point Jones toward the city’s most important bootlegger.

And even if it does, it’s not like he’ll risk cutting off the hooch just to seek justice for himself, right? No one man’s life is worth unleashing a cannibalistic orgy of violence. Right?

Cracking this case will be a tall order, but one thing’s for sure: Whatever happens, Braineater Jones isn’t getting out of this one alive....

Awesome

Loved every minute what a great beginning of what I hope to be more books of Braineater Jones. Very funny well written and great narration that brought the book to life. I hated for it to end

Different kind of zombie

I really liked this book a lot. Not your average zombie book. The narrator was perfect for the time period of the book. Definitely made it have the 1930’s feel. The book had me laughing out loud.

Well worn tropes blended together with a solid mystery, new twists, and a well earned ending

A superb performance of a well written and perfectly paced entry into the zombie and noir library.

Braineater Jones

This is an interesting story. If you enjoy pulp fiction this is a book for you. While some parts of the story grabbed my attention I was not fully engaged with the story. The idea is a good one but it didn’t really pull me in and the conclusion fell flat for me. Narrator Steve Rimpici moves the story along nicely but I was not fond of some of the voices that he uses. I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
