The Bank

By: Bentley Little

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

"We know who you are! Can your current bank say that? We pride ourselves on providing unparalleled service to all of our customers. We're looking forward to banking with you!"

In the small town of Montgomery, Arizona, Kyle Decker's book shop is barely breaking even. When a bank opens in the empty storefront next door, he hopes the new establishment will bring in more foot traffic. Trouble is, nobody has ever heard of the First People's Bank, and the local branch has appeared mysteriously overnight.

Their incentives for new customers seem reasonable...at first. But is it a coincidence when Kyle's wife has her identity stolen and his son receives emails that seem to know his private thoughts? Or when the manager of a competing financial institution dies a gruesome death?

Soon, if people in Montgomery, Arizona, want to buy a new car or home or if they need a small business loan, they have no choice but to work with the First People's Bank. As the bank makes increasingly bizarre demands on its customers, it becomes clear the town may be in too deep...and the penalty for an early withdrawal is too terrifying to imagine.

With his latest original novel, Bentley Little's dark, razor-sharp satire takes on the worst practices of our banking industry, and you'll never look at your loan officer the same way again.

Great story

Like at BLs books, this is another great one. I’m so used to David Stifle as the narrator for his books, I was actually surprised to find this narrator much better with voices and helping with character development! Amazingly told!!

Entertaining!!!

I absolutely enjoyed this!!! The narrator is everything!!! The story is gripping, and there were times I was laughing. I love the author, but I’m now a big fan of the narrator!!

It’s ok

Not his best work. Didn’t make much sense kind of hard to follow. Made it all the way through but kind of got boring

Pretty sinister, poor ending

Good premise, good storyline, a few too many sexual references, but still a well structured tale. However, I was quite disappointed with the ending. I have many questions. Perhaps they will be answered in another book, but that does not help me now with this all too abrupt ending.

Besides The back ground hissing not bad.

I love Bentley Little"s work. The Resort and The Store being my favorites.ve listened to quite a few and have 3 in my queue. The Bank is good but not what I have have come to expect. It felt like it was rushed for the publisher. The story is really underwhelming and what rubs the salt in the wounds is an annoying hiss. This is the first time I have experienced such poor audible quality From audible.
