Wild Wives

By: Charles Willeford

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

Jake Blake is a private detective short on cash when he meets a rich and beautiful young woman looking to escape her father’s smothering influence. Unfortunately for Jake, the smothering influence includes two thugs hired to protect her - and the woman is in fact not the daughter of the man she wants to escape, but his wife. Now Jake has two angry thugs and one jealous husband on his case. As Jake becomes more deeply involved with this glamorous and possibly crazy woman, he becomes entangled in a web of deceit, intrigue - and multiple murders. Brilliant, sardonic, and full of surprises, Wild Wives is one wild ride.

👍good

classic Charles willeford. abrupt weird ending that you'd come to expect. quick, easy and engaging listen.

Another fun Willeford

Another fun Willeford that grabs you quickly, with his typical character craziness and story unpredictability. This one runs shorter than most in length but still a worthwhile listen. The narrator is very effective in voice and tone.
