Thin Blue

The Thin Blue Line Series, Book 1

By: Patricia Logan

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

Detective Pope Dades is a veteran police officer working in the Hollywood division, one of the busiest police precincts in the country. Dealing with drug dealers, hookers, and mentally ill suspects on a daily basis is his stock and trade. He once loved his job with the LAPD, but three years ago, he put his trust in the wrong man, and he’s been paying the price ever since. Refusing to work with a partner after the first one nearly killed him, Pope is jaded, still hurting, and hanging onto the career he once adored by a thread.

Homeland Security Investigator Felix Jbarra is a fresh-faced young agent with a bright future in the DHS ahead of him. Deeply closeted, Felix hides his sexual orientation from his huge Catholic family, which brings him terrible guilt and grief. One night in a backroom nightclub encounter, he connects with a man who inexplicably makes him want to confess everything. Assigned to help shut down an elusive child sex-trafficking ring, Felix instinctively knows he’ll need turn to the more experienced detective for help if he and his partner want to crack this case.

In the first audiobook of the brand new Thin Blue Line series, join Felix and Pope in this exciting adventure as their worlds collide on the mean streets and in between the sheets....

Thin Blue contains a sneak peek at Order & Anarchy (the second title in the Thin Blue Line series)

Please note: If you’ve read the Death and Destruction series, Lincoln Snow, McBride M. McCallahan, Jarrett Evans-Wolfe, and Thayne Evans-Wolfe also play ongoing roles in this new series. Never fear, Jarrett probably won’t be base jumping off any more buildings...probably.

Finding a way to trust

This book is the start of a series of 3 books that take you on a ride of massive trust issues, accepting who you truly are, and finding acceptance with those you trust around you. Patricia Logan is a masterful storyteller that never disappoints and this story is performed by the great Michael Pauley, whom I could listen to every day.

It was a fun listen

It was a little rambling and slow at times, but I overall enjoyed the story. It doesn't take too much thinking, but still interesting.

What a rollercoaster of emotions!

Pope and Felix are characters that are strong, confident, professional with a twist of human vulnerability. Can't wait for the next book!

Narration was on point

Absolutely loved the story, narration was so perfect! M P out did himself! #2 now!

loved it!

Did the story keep me engaged: yes - this is one I didn't want to turn off.
Were there any parts I found annoying: no
Did I feel an emotional connection to the characters: yes
Would I listen to it again: absolutely

Great series start. Action packed with interesting characters and a great story.
Both MC's are complex and complicated and I like the way Felix's character, despite what he has seen in his careers, isn't jaded and that he has the conviction that Pope isn't broken, merely bent and is determined to help straighten him out.
Loved the drop-in of characters from other books.

Michael Pauley (aka Michael Dean) does a great job bringing the characters in Thin Blue Line to life, all the emotions are there, he slips seamlessly between english and spanish and maintains the voice consistency for the characters from the other books which is nice.

I'm diving straight into book 2!
