Frankly Speaking

A Frank Rozzani Detective Novel

By: Don Massenzio

Narrated by: Jeffrey Knecht

A 16-year-old girl has disappeared. The police believe she is a runaway. Her parents believe she has been taken and is being held against her will. When the parents enlist the services of Frank Rozzani, a former police officer turned private detective, a series of events begins to unfold that implicates a popular local pastor and the religious stronghold of the ultra-conservative community.

Frank Rozzani, a transplant to Jacksonville, Florida from Syracuse, New York, must find the young girl despite the obstacles launched at him from the local police and others whose interests may be compromised by his investigation. Frank enlists the help of his associate Clifford "Jonesy" Jones to find the girl, uncover the conspiracy, and stay alive. While solving the case, Frank must deal with the demons that drove him from Upstate New York causing him to leave traumatic memories and his children behind.

Great story by a new author.

Liked the story and characters. The ending was well done with a lead into the next book.

Narration was okay, but could be improved.

Great read

Great read! Story is very engaging and the narrator's voice adds enjoyment to listening to the book.

Maybe a better narrator?

I wasn't thrilled by the book, but the narrator made me crazy. He had a beautiful voice, but no narrative skills. He talked in a slow sing-song that made listening really difficult, and the underlying politics of the author turned my stomach. I really tried, but I couldn't go on with it. Maybe it's someone else's cup of tea and a more professional narrator would be a huge help, regardless.
