Entertaining book

As the first book was it made me laugh and wait for what was coming next. Another amazing book, a must tead. Very entertaining and Delphi narrating.

Local flavor

I enjoy the writing style, and being a resident of Roanoke County. It was a thrill to hear of all the local places in the stories. Keep it up.

Continues the great Listen from Book 1

Continued with the story. Very good and enjoyable listen. Jumped right to book 3. Mackenzie is terrific and a enjoyable story. Very much would listen to it again.

A good read

This is a well crafted story with a great assortment of characters.


The Narrator is able to create a wide variety of characters which makes the Book more entertaining.

Welcome back MacKenzie August!

This is the second book is this fun new series. MacKenzie is a little bit like Spenser, a little bit like Chuck Norris, and and an all around good guy trying to live a life of honor. This book, like the first is full of witty one liners and MacKenzie is a character you will root for. Plus, some of the secondary characters Mackenzie deals with are both shady and goofy enough to be part of a Carl Hiaasen book. This time, Mackenzie takes a job in part because of his feelings for Ronnie Summers, a woman he is clearly in love with, but who just may be more screwed up than a seven layer burrito from Taco Bell. She's an accomplished, bright professional with a complicated personal life and parental issues. Scott Ellis does a superb job with the narration. My fingers are crossed that Audible will give us the other books in the series and that Mr. Ellis will return to read them.
