A Stanley Hastings Mystery, Book 17

By: Parnell Hall

Narrated by: Christopher Kipiniak

The latest in the beloved Stanley Hastings series - the unlikeliest private eye in New York City, who doesn’t even carry a gun.

Poor Stanley Hastings. After getting hired by a hit man and nearly getting shot, the put-upon PI needed some fun, so when a gorgeous damsel in distress walked through his office door she seemed just what the doctor ordered.

Wrong again.

The fair maiden turned out to be a married mom who wanted Stanley to find out why her teenage daughter was skipping school. Playing truant officer wasn't exactly Stanley's idea of fun, but at least it should be easy.

Fat chance.

Stanley being Stanley, nothing goes right, nothing is as it seems, bodies start to pile up, and faster than you can say 'fall guy', guess who's left holding the bag?

Before the case is resolved, Stanley will be nostalgic for the good old days, when all he had to worry about was a hitman.

Absolutely terrible narration

The narrator should find a far different profession because his voice and intonation are exceptionally annoying!

The narrator’s voice was too feminine for a PI’s.

Like the story. Typical for this detective. After eighteen or so coming up with different story lines must be difficult.

Not a good listen

To hard to listen to and poorly written. Parnell Hall has written with Stuart Woods and has done much better.

Got it for free and I want my money back

This is got to be hands down the worst book I have ever gotten from audible. The storyline is a weird combination of dated old-timey sayings and new technology handled by the characters. The main character is nothing more than a snivelling no self confidence having simp do not waste your time

don't waste your time

the story moves like a child wrote it. and the people reading it should get other jobs
