His American Detective

Victorian Gay Detective, Book 1

By: Summer Devon

Narrated by: Mark James

The sole survivor of his family’s gruesome murder years earlier, poor little Ned Lawton has struggled to put the dark events behind him. So, when a brash New York detective darkens his doorway demanding an interview, the wealthy young gentleman immediately shuts him out. But a rash of murders in America are mirroring of the London killings, and Patrick Kelly knows Ned might be the key to stopping the bloodshed.

Lawton, now called Edmund Sloan, is a wealthy young gentleman and philanthropist. He’s spent most of his life pushing all memories of his old family and that horrific day from his thoughts. Now, a brash, provocative American detective insists he dredge up the past.

Together, Patrick and the unwilling Edmund must uncover the truth of the murders before the killer strikes again, whether it is in New York or London.

As they hunt down secrets from his past, Edmund can’t hide his other secret from the sharp-eyed detective: the attraction he feels for men and the enticing Patrick, in particular.

Another fantastic story by Devon

OMG, I couldn't sit still. the twists and turns, fear and dread for both of the of the gentlemen in this story were astounding!

I love Mark J's voice; this is a great story, too.

I have listened to Mark James perform seven of Summer Devon's books and have loved every one of them. As far as I'm concerned, his voice and performances are right up there with several of the very well-known voice actors who narrate M/M books. I've looked on Audible and it appears that he hasn't done many books and that's a real shame. In fact, searching for his name on Audible brings up many books that don't even has his name on them; something seems to be seriously wrong with their search function.

On to the story. His American Detective is a great who-done-it with just enough twists and turns to keep things interesting. The blurb is really very good so I won't try to re-state it. Between the mystery of who is committing the murders in America and the sizzling attraction between detective Patrick and wealthy Edmund (Ned), Summer Devon has created another captivating historical M/M romance that I love. I really hope that Summer Devon and Mark James keep creating wonderful audiobooks for us to listen to.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Interesting listen.

I have been really liking Summer Devon's stories and this one is no different. I love this historical romance mystery! Patrick and Edmund's (Ned) story just pulls me in and I didn't want to stop listening. Mark James does such an amazing narration of this story. He makes me even love this story even more. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Good listen

What a good book. Really enjoyed the story,steam and narrator. Worth the credit. Loved it

great listen

I loved it. The mystery was intriguing and interesting, but the growing love story beneath it was titillating. I rooted for a happy ending for tne two men together. Engaging characters I quickly became invested in. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job with voices and expressions.
