Bump in the Road

Westbay City Mystery Series, Book 3

By: Ava Zuma

Narrated by: Grant Love

Luke Mbeki has never been a fan of politics. His family knows this about him. As well as his friends. Even his colleagues are privy to this fact. He is therefore left bewildered when he finds himself in the middle of not one, but two cases that involve opposing political parties.

When he is coerced into pledging his allegiance to one political campaign after the murder of a prominent person on their team, he knows he's definitely bitten off more than he can chew.

As he digs for evidence to solve the case, he discovers shady characters, long-held family secrets, and a political godfather who seems to be pulling the strings of all the political figures in West Bay City.

Will Luke remain on the right side of the law while he tries to find a killer who seems to have the finances and social clout to hide all their nefarious undertakings?

Or will he find himself in the crosshairs of a sinister plot that involves the unlikeliest of suspects?

Book 3 in an intriguing series that'll leave you listening late into the night. They say difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations, but has Luke Mbeki gotten on a road beset with diabolical characters, unsolvable challenges, and a limited time before his hunting expeditions for the truth make him the hunted one?

Great Murder Mystery

Luke and his associates investigate a murder by poison. The story is well planned, fast paced and action-packed. Narrator Grant Love delivered a great audiobook.

A twisted story of politics and murder.

Received as an audio copy to review from the narrator, this is an honest review. Performed amazingly by Grant Love, Bump in the Road finds Luke Mbeki getting roped into the messy world of politics as a prominent election takes hold on West Bay City. While Luke and his colleagues work to solve two murders and bring justice to each victim; the opposing political parties that are swirling around him are driving Luke insane. He's also kicking up a wasps nest of what makes the man hate politicians so much: wining an election is like a game of chess and checkmating your opponent means playing shady because they other will, even if you wanted to an play an honest game.


Highly recommended.

Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place

Luke gets in a sticky situation where he is working for opposing politicians to solve a murder and provide security solutions. Almost losing a trusted employee and friend because he didn’t want to listen to sound advice, and having to provide an investigation pro bono show that while no one is perfect, Luke has a lot of growing to do if he wants his business and friendships to succeed, and his life to remain intact.

twisted

Politics make dirty bedfellows. How true!!! The corruption and betrayals were rampant. You have to watch your back even with those close to you. I had suspicions, but hoped I was wrong. Nope. I was right. Very disheartening, but great story. Helen is like the dirty penny that keeps turning up whether it's welcome or not. She wanted Luke's help on her terms and continued to be a pain. Grow up girl! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
