The description is way better.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
I really thought I would like this book from the description, but I found it very disjointed and confusing. Maybe this is a back story to provide some clarity for some later book, but it made no sense to me. The narration was good and the story touched on many themes that I love in a book, but this didn't do it for me.

Whiskey God: the glass is full

Before I heard the audio book version of "Whiskey God" I wrote this review of the paper back version -

"It seems my favorite forms of art doesn't submit to an expectation of pre-ordained boundaries. The relentless high stakes of Robin Mountjoy's "Wiskey God" takes no prisioners. While the story has a natural fit with a noir framing, I'm also reminded of my love for an out-the-mind ride of a Cronenberg film or a spiraling Kafka stroke of the pen.

I wouldn't be surprised if hearing the audible books would be like wise as mind bendingly enjoyable."

Yes, I was correct !

Short Fun Listen

I loved the character of Detective Jesse Copeland and all his demons and reptiles. The short is short but really holds your interest with the narration. Recommend to anyone who likes something a little different.

A Good Start to a New Series Hopefully

Whiskey God was an interesting listen. It was definitely noir-ish. I think this could turn into something good. This is book one and it felt somewhat disjointed making it hard to follow. I don't know if the narrator is being directed by the author in using several different voices.

David J. Bell's narration was good. He has a nice voice with a deep tone. I would have liked it better with a straight read rather than the characterizations. Subtle voice inflections are easier to follow.

Riveting Noir style book

Robin Mountjoy has written a hell of a book that pulls somewhere between a Clint Eastwood and a bogart classic in the intensity and the moral looseness of its main character. The kind of cop you want but fear all the same time. Well put together and the characters really develop. Looking forward to more of this kinda stuff.
