Down Island

A Jesse McDermitt Novel

By: Wayne Stinnett

Narrated by: Nick Sullivan

After being away from his home in the Florida Keys for nine months, Jesse McDermitt has returned to find his tiny island compound just north of Big Pine Key in disarray. Being away for so long has taken its toll. Not just on Jesse and his family, but also their island.

The part-time caretaker Jesse hired has disappeared without a trace, and many of the systems that made life easier on the island for Jesse and his family needed attention. After weeks of hard work, things are finally back in order, and Jesse receives a cryptic phone call from an associate in Key West, a yacht broker, asking him to come down island and have a look at something he's discovered.

The part-time caretaker turns up dead in a hotel room in Miami and the body count begins to mount. So Jesse brings in the big guns, both figuratively and literally, as their island is under attack. But what Dean Murphy uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg.

When Jesse and his cohorts become involved, it will take every bit of their accumulated experience, cunning, and warrior attitude to cut off the head of the snake and restore order to the rest of the Florida Keys.

Another good one!

Mr. Stinnett does an amazing job developing fun stories that move quickly and capture attention right away. This is just another good example of his character development and his writing. Definitely recommend it..

Jesse of course!

That I have to wait until December for his next book! I love the books and all the characters!

I like the series

I like the whole series, but please stop saying Binos! I cringe every time you say it.

Narrator is fantastic

Such a great performance by the narrator. He really captured the fun tone of the book. He did the characters voices so well. One of the most enjoyable audiobook listens I’ve had in a while.

5 stars all the way.

I love that you brought back so many past character and added some as well. You will have to let us know if detective Pine joins Armstrong.
