Twist of Fate

A Jack West Novel

By: Deanna King

Narrated by: David Eskridge

Introducing Jack West a tenacious Houston Homicide Detective, a man who believes even the dregs of society deserve justice.

After solving an exhausting murder case involving teenagers, Jack and his partner, Dawson Luck are assigned a cold case dating back 25 years. One case: an unsolved murder of a woman, found dead behind a seedy motel; the other about a missing prostitute.

Digging into the cases, a fresh murder case is called in. A wealthy couple is found dead in an affluent residential area. It appears to be a murder- suicide and this new case takes precedence. Wrapping up the new case in record time, they get back to their cold cases.

As Jack digs in to his 36-year-old case, he hears a bizarre tale from a dying ex-prostitute. What he hears has him believing his case and his partner’s case might be connected.

Joining forces, they unravel truths about cops on the take, executions, prostitution and conspiracy to cover up a murder involving a high-ranking official.

Interesting story and lots going on at a quick pace which keeps you wanting more. Only critique, the narrator makes everyone except the primary character sound like a woman. It was hard to decide who was talking when everyone has a high voice.

Excellent Crime Novel

I really enjoyed the storyline and the voice of the reader. I’m not very good at reading actual books so I’m glad this was available in audio! Can’t wait to read the next one!

Better than I expected, I enjoyed it!

At first the overdone accents threw me off. I am from west Texas. I have family in Houston. But the story was compelling enough to let me forget the accents. lol.
I enjoyed the second book as well.

frustrating narrator

not many narrators bother me enough to comment but this one was actually painful to listen to

The narration!!!

If this story was told by someone who didn’t sound like a cheap library volunteer, it may have been better but having to listen to this entire thing was excruciating! Sometimes you get used to the narrator after a while but not this one!
