Muscle and Blood

The Hal Taylor Mysteries, Book 1

By: Neal Bailey

Narrated by: Joseph Taylor

A TRAILER PARK HERO. A TWO-FISTED MURDER MYSTERY. A HELL OF A RIDE.

Hal Taylor just wants a stable life. A good life. The life he feels was taken from him unfairly. Instead, he's a hired goon for the local crime boss, and his hopes have been tucked away in a dresser drawer. A cakewalk job to secure a wealthy young woman for her father seems like a chance to make some cash...until Hal's luck runs true to form. Waking up on the floor of a hotel bathroom to the sounds of blaring sirens, he finds a body he doesn't recognize cooling in the tub, and from then on, he's on the run. Now Hal has to find out who killed the stranger, rescue the missing girl, and maybe--just maybe--get that community college application turned in.

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. JUST MUSCLE AND BLOOD.

Fun story

The story itself was a fun simple mystery. The characters were enjoyable to explore and I found myself laughing pretty good at some of the moments. I think the narrator did a great job with the performance. I’d definitely love to hear more from the world of Hal Taylor.
