Your dad’s not a good person. Your dad killed people, son. These are some of the last words Jack Givins’ father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives as best they could. Years later, Jack is a grown man with problems of his own. He’s a talented but struggling author, barely scraping by on the royalties from his moderately successful first book. So when the U.S. Marshals approach him with a lucrative opportunity, he’s in no position to turn them down.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

predictable but enjoyable mystery
This very formulaic mystery is about a retired police detective fighting cancer and getting dragged back into a former case where the murderer seemed to walk free. The main character is likeable and believable, and the narrator is very easy to listen to. This novel was a pleasant, fun way to pass the time. There is mystery, action, and romance. This was good "escape fiction."

A reason to listen...
This was a solid listen. The Marty Singer character was a good one. Very believable, and endearing. The story line was quite original, and moved along at a quick pace. There were a few twists and turns, but I had it figured out quite early on. The "whodunnit" moment was kind of...Meh. But, overall I did enjoy the book, and look forward to the next in the series!

Good murder mystery
You have a police officer who was forced into retirement because he has cancer. He's approached by a young woman, the daughter of a woman murdered 12 years ago by a bad cop. You follow Marty Singer through his cancer treatments and sickness while trying to protect and find the person who is stalking the young woman. There's twists and turns and a few surprises along the way.
The narrator did a very good job with the narration.

Finding Purpose
Marty Singer sat in the courtroom and heard the verdict of not guilty being read. He knew that a murderer was being set free. The whole department knew that he had murdered the young woman and now her 10 year old daughter would be left without a mother.
Twelve years later, the daughter approaches Marty and asks if he would help her. The man who had killed her mother was now stalking her.
Marty had retired as a detective from the police department because of a diagnosis of cancer. He had nothing to keep himself busy and being a detective again was just what he needed. He would get out of the house and the job would keep him busy.
The book turned out to be an enjoyable listen. The narrator, Lloyd Sherr, did a good job. He created a the voices of the character's with recognition. Sherr was able to create the emotions required, anger, happiness, fear, etc., appropriately. I would suggest that someone who enjoys a good mystery that is creative in its style, would enjoy, A Reason to Live.

Police procedural falls flat
This book started out okay... A detective having to revisit failed a prosecution 15 years after perpetrator is acquitted at trial, but then fell flat with too obvious leads not pursued and clumsy interjection of protagonist's cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy (hence, the title). It was barely worth the $3.99sale price; it would not have been worth a credit. The narration was fine.
