Palm Beach Poison

A Charlie Crawford Mystery, Volume 2

By: Tom Turner

Narrated by: Phil Thron

Vasily Zinoviev is the last man on earth you would want to say no to. Just ask the working girl who suffered a horrible death while skinny-dipping one night. Or the president of the prestigious Poinciana Club who's sorry he ever laid eyes on the ruthless Russian. Living in a $20 million oceanfront mansion with a harem of mistresses, Vasily and his brother are more than a handful for Palm Beach homicide detective Charlie Crawford. But throw in a vengeful ex-wife, a vicious hit man, a mysterious tycoon even more diabolical than the Russians, and you have Palm Beach Poison.

Keeps you on your toes

If you're looking for an entertaining mystery that keeps you guessing and is entertaining to the max, you've found your poison. My advice: go into this books as I did, knowing absolutely nothing about it for maximum enjoyment.

Narrator Phil Thron did a great job with pacing and I liked the resonance of his voice. He helped paint the images in my mind. Now of course, those picture were painted by virtue of the excellent writing by author Tom Turner.

I'm so glad I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by either the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for this honest review, but even if I hadn't been, I'd have happily paid for this book, and in fact I will go back and pay for Volume 1 now. Hoping for future works, as well. Enjoy this mystery treat and its surprises as you listen. Recommended.

Awesome read and almost awesome narration..

As good as Palm Beach Nasty was I can’t believe it took me since last May to read the second book, Palm Beach Poison, because I absolutely love Crawford and Ott.

This book was better than the first one. It just amazes me that these millionaire/billionaires in Palm Beach think they can commit murder, in this case it was seven murders, in order to get what they want. Although, I wasn’t sad about Vasily and Aleksandr because they were just murderous creeps . However, it really was disgusting HOW they died, along with an innocent woman. I guess that the smartest person involved was Churchill Ames. He got the heck outta Dodge as soon as he was threatened by Vasily, but not before another innocent woman was killed.

This was such a good story I’m moving on to the next book instead of waiting so long
in-between the books.

No sex and the F-bomb was used 37 times.

As to the narration: Just like the first book I loved Phil Thron’s narration and I hated it. Loved the voices he gave all his male characters but hated the women’s voices. It was like he really didn’t even try to sound feminine. His emotions when he read was awesome, though.

Any additional comments?

I was given this audio in exchange for an honest review.

This is a typical murder investigation. The character's are a bit quirky. Their are lots of references to Donald Trump in the story. This was a fun story, great job with the narration!

Wow!

Both the author and narrator were new to me, and I am so happy that I found them. I will definitely look for more books with them. The narrator did a great job with all of his accents for the various characters. The book was full of twists. My review is not a synopsis of the book but rather my opinion of it. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. I thought this book was a great standalone listen and it is part of a series.

Spellbinding..

The characters are appealing and the procedural elements are both believable and interesting. Descriptions and dialogue make excellent reading. I was eager to find out how things turned out in the case, which had plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing about the solution.
