Palm Beach Pretenders

Charlie Crawford Palm Beach Mysteries, Book 5

By: Tom Turner

Narrated by: Jerrod Haarstad

Mar-a-Lago...a.k.a. the winter White House. You’d think it would be the last place on earth where a double homicide would take place, right? Think again.

And the line-up of suspects? Well, there’s the former porn king of Florida, throwing wild parties with hidden cameras everywhere. The billionaire with all his dirty little secrets. The gambling addict who’s in way, way over his head.

And Crawford and Ott, muddling along, trying to get to the bottom of it all.

Great book. Not so great narration..

Ahh, Crawford and Ott. Love those guys. Charlie Crawford is a gorgeous hunk and Ott is short and kinda fat. So opposite yet so great together. This story is about 2 different murders. One, about a double murder by a pool and the other one about the murder of a porn king.

They were both wonderful stories. There was no sex, but Charlie is supposed to be in love with Dominica but that doesn’t stop him from having sex with Rose. I don’t like that about Charlie. Either make him faithful to one woman or don’t even put a woman in it. That’s my opinion.

The F-bomb was used 36 times.

As to the narration: As with the last book I can only say that this narrator, Jerrod Haarstad, is barely okay for me. Every man sounded the same and he read without emotions. Phil Thron should have read all 5 books, IMO
