"Expertly narrated by Fred Berman, whose sharp and erudite delivery demonstrates in real-time why he’s won the Audiophile Earphone Award five times." - John Aiello, Electric Review

great information

I love this book. I will definitely listen to is over and over. I think more people should read these kind of books or at least listen to it.

Half and half.

First half of the book (about actually being and telling stores about being a PI) were very good. The second half about "protection" were pointless to the theme of the book. There are plenty of books I could've paid for to "learn" these basic and well known facts about protection. Overall, it was decent and got me through half my work shift.

Don't listen with headphones

The studio neglected a pop-mic or something, every S, TH, C, CH, and all those sounds are absolutely unbearable.

Helpful, But Won't Make You A PI

As an investigator I found this book helpful, full of tips from an experienced investigator, lessons learned, and a good foundation in which to build on. This book will not make you a Private Investigator, but does provide insight to get you in the right mindset.

Very practical and insightful

Useful guidebook full of useful ideas and examples. Cuts to the chase and well structured.
