Face Value

A Wright & Tran Novel (Wright & Tran Series, Book 1)

By: Ian Andrew

Narrated by: Gemma Whelan

Kara Wright is a former Royal Air Force Intelligence Analyst. Her best mate, Tien Tran, is a veteran of the British Army's Intelligence Corps. Both served in Afghanistan and both were lucky to make it home. Now, based in a run-down office in Kentish Town, they try to keep their heads above water as private investigators. When two grown-up children claim their elderly parents have been kidnapped, Kara and Tien are sceptical, but they need the money, and anyway, Kara could really do with keeping her mind off the man she murdered.

The gripping first book in the Wright & Tran crime thriller series. If you like electrifying action, breathless pacing, and three-dimensional characters, then you'll love Ian Andrew's award-winning special ops detective novel.

I Couldn't Stop Listening!

I adore this book. Two smart, strong, clever women are the protagonists of the series.
Kara and Tien are best friends with military intelligence backgrounds who are now private investigators. Their backup investigators are interesting as well.
I hated to stop listening and couldn't wait to get back to the book. It is a smart thrill ride that you'll want to continue into the next two books. Take a listen. You won't be sorry!
The narration is spot on too.

Alright

The story itself was decent. There was a handful of overused words and I wasn’t a fan of how much it went into detail about certain things that probably didn’t need the extra explanation.
the narration was good however I had two small problems 1. Gemma isn’t very good with accents 2. Every now and then she felt bland.
I absolutely love Gemma Whelan, she’s my number one favorite narrator but this book just wasn’t right for her.
