One Eyed Jack

By: Christopher J. Lynch

Narrated by: Tom Jordan

Professional blackmailer John Sharp, aka One Eyed Jack, is a man who knows how to keep a secret - for a price. But when a routine case of infidelity takes an unexpected detour, he soon finds himself caught in a tangled web of double-blackmail, commodities manipulation, and trying to rescue the woman that had once been his target.

Good Story, Interesting Character, Fun Narration

First, the character is a lot of fun. He's hardly the first antihero in literature but the author gives him a lot of depth mostly by letting you learn about what kind of guy he really is as the story is unfolding and you can see how he acts.

Second, the story moves at a good pace. I practically listened to this book from start to finish without a single pause and the few pauses I did take were always short. I couldn't wait to get back to see what was going to happen next. I did not have all of the answers come to me right away while listening and I appreciate not always knowing for sure what is coming up next.

I really enjoyed Tom Jordan's narration. This is the first book I heard him narrate and I feel like he just got the character from the start. I even enjoyed his female voices which is not something I say often about male narrators doing female characters. It didn't feel like I was being read a story. It felt like I was listening to a friend whom I hadn't talked to in a couple of months talking to me about a misadventure he found himself in. Credit for that goes to both the writing and the author and performance of the narrator.

Great story

And it was free audiobook Addicts on Facebook. This was a very enjoyable book. I look forward to more of the one eyed Jack books. I love the mystery and this was definitely a great mystery. It was well written, And well narrated.

What a riveting read!

What a riveting read! With all the excitement of the very best spy novels, this one takes a different tack. It’s about blackmail. As a profession. And done is an almost righteous way – blackmailing those who are just aren’t ethical or very good specimens of humanity. With all the meticulous planning I loved in The Martian and brilliantly narrated by Tom Jordan – this fast-paced novel was supremely enjoyable. I can’t wait for the next one!

Oh the tangled web we weave!

Another success by Christopher J. Lynch.
Tom Jordan brings the characters to life.

This Was a Really Good Twisty Noirish Story

One Eyed Jack was a great listen. It was time well spent and hard to turn off. I especially liked the sort of unlikeable character profile of Jack or One Eyed Jack. He was kind of like the protagonist and antagonist. This was a well written and thrilling story with a good twist. I'll listen to other audiobooks written by Christopher J. Lynch.

Tom Jordan did an excellent job narrating. I've listen to him before and he's a great voice actor who doesn't disappoint. Always exceptional.
