What Doesn’t Kill Us

The Twin Cities PI Mac McKenzie Novels, Book 18

By: David Housewright

Narrated by: Brent Hinkley

Rushmore McKenzie has been shot and lies in a coma, while the police and his friends desperately try to find out what McKenzie was doing and who tried to kill him

Rushmore McKenzie, former St. Paul police detective and unexpected millionaire, does the occasional, unofficial private detective work - mostly favors for friends. He’s faced kidnappers, domestic terrorists, art thieves, among others, and had a hand in solving some of the most perplexing mysteries of the Twin Cities. But this time, his prodigious luck and intuition may have finally failed him: He was shot in the back by an unknown assailant and lies in a coma.

His childhood friend, Lt. Bobby Dunston of the St. Paul Police Department, assigns his best detective to the case while other figures - on both sides of the law - pursue the truth. What was he investigating, what did he learn that so threatened someone that they tried to kill him? What does a sketchy bar in the wrong part of town, the area’s prominent tech millionaire family, drug dealers, investment bankers, and a mysterious woman who left an unknown package for McKenzie all have in common? The answer to that might be what stands between life and death.

I love the humor and the not so gross details.

I love the narrator. He had so much to the story. I love the author’s humor. These are mystery stories yes, but they don’t end up making you feel like “why does life have to be so hard” when you’re done? David Housewright is one of my favorite authors.

Please record more books in this series

Nothing, I love the entire series I wish you would record more of the books in the series

Outstanding!

The best of all his books I think. Listened to them all. I’m so bummed this is the last (so far). I hope they’ll record his remaining books. These characters are awesome—so real, so interesting. Love the involvement of Harry, the FBI guy and Scrader (sp)? the PI guy and Heavenly Petra!! Fascinating!

Excellent

Love it This was a great book. I can’t wait for the nextBook to come out.

Best one yet

This installment of the McKenzie series is a who's who of past characters, as McKenzie's allies from past books are involved to one extent or another in figuring out who shot him and why, while he languishes in a medically-induced coma. We get to see how his friends and loved ones take care of themselves and each other in his absence. It was a fun book to listen to.
