Dirty Laundry

Cole Mcginnis Mysteries

By: Rhys Ford

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

A Cole McGinnis Mystery

Sequel to Dirty Secret

For ex-cop turned private investigator Cole McGinnis, each day brings a new challenge. Too bad most of them involve pain and death. Claudia, his office manager and surrogate mother, is still recovering from a gunshot, and Cole's closeted boyfriend, Kim Jae-Min, suddenly finds his teenaged sister dumped in his lap. Meanwhile, Cole has his own sibling problems-most notably, a mysterious half brother from Japan whom his older brother, Mike, is determined they welcome with open arms.

As if his own personal dramas weren't enough, Cole is approached by Madame Sun, a fortune-teller whose clients have been dying at an alarming rate. Convinced someone is after her customers, she wants the matter investigated, but the police think she's imagining things. Hoping to put Sun's mind at ease, Cole takes the case and finds himself plunged into a Gordian knot of lies and betrayal where no one is who they are supposed to be and Death seems to be the only card in Madame Sun's deck.

Excellent story. Excellent narration.

Some very emotional moments that Rhys Ford pens beautifully and Greg Tremblay narrates with passion. This book had everything I look for in a great story, and it is the reason I added audiobooks to my entertainment budget.

A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D! On to the next one immediately!

Pure and simple...ADDICTED! I might get over them yet, but I haven't found that place yet!

WOW

This is by far the one I've of the best series that I've ever listened too. Great narrator...great story.

The narrtor ROCKED this one out!

I dare you, I double dog dare you, I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to find someone who is not obsessed with this audiobook. This audiobook makes all other audiobooks want to crawl into a hole and cower. All hail Greg Tremblay, master of the Cole McGinnis narration, and Rhys Ford for giving him such a fabulous written, nuanced script.

I'm suuuuuper choosy about my audiobooks. I listen to a ton of them and I have very particular tastes.

I need my audiobooks to feel natural and I NEED a wide range of voices for each of the different characters. Greg Tremblay did a seriously masterful job with this book. It was like listening to a movie featuring a dozen different actors. Greg must have play dough for vocal chords because he managed to make each character sound perfect and unique. This book now makes my favorite audiobook list, up there with the Adrien English series (Fatal Shadows) and books narrated by Holter Graham and Bahni Turpin.

I mentioned this before, but a huge portion of the reason that the narrator was able to shine was because Rhys Ford really pulled out all the stops with this one. Not only was I kind of able to follow along with the Korean names for once (yay!), but I was totally taken with the plot. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made it hot... GOD it was awesome. The mystery was great and the chemistry between the MCs was even better. The tension, the love, the emotions between Cole and Jae left me feeling raw and vulnerable. I was so into the story that I felt like I personally was in the thick of it.

And these poor men... holy crap do they get put through hell. One person after another gets shot or hurt. I swear, Cole's life is a huge tangled mess of pain.

But it is also SO funny. So funny. I alternated between laughing and crying and just smiling manically to myself on my commute to and from work, listening to this book.

If you are a fan of audiobooks, mysteries, Asians, M/M, hell, even just ROMANCE, you have to try this series. It just keeps getting better and better.

My love for this book cannot be expressed in words

Any additional comments?

Rhys Ford. Greg Tremblay. Best combination ever. I just re-listened to this for the thousandth time and it continues to be one of my favorites. What can I say. Greg does wonderful job narrating, bringing to life one of the most awesome couples, Cole and Jae. Plus we get the introduction of Cole's hot Japanese brother, who sounds like a whole other person even to my uncultured ear--the wonders of Greg Tremblay never cease to amaze. Mostly what I love about this book is the way Cole and Jae's relationship really blossoms, and instead of being pulled apart by all the hurt they manage to keep sight of each other. Excuse me while I continue on my listening spree to the next book.
