Publisher's summary

Inspector Francis Xavier Flynn, also known as international superspy N. N. 13, returns in this final book of the intelligently written, scintillating series by best-selling author Gregory Mcdonald.

Severely lacking in sleep from a recent bout of marathon investigative work, all Flynn wants is a proper night's rest. Unfortunately, at the early morning summons of his frantic daughter, he's off to the cemetery to rescue her young friend who's in quite a peculiar bind. And as the day progresses, a curious collection of puzzling cases fall into Flynn's lap, each one stranger and more urgent than the last.

As Flynn plunges into harm's way in pursuit of the truth, buried secrets and dark motives come to light as he races to solve each crime and bring these seemingly disconnected matters to a full and complete case closed.

Charming, exceptional, character-driven mysteries

This series has it all -- truly exceptionally well written plotting, incredibly addictive characters, fun family vignettes, police procedures, mysteries inside of mysteries, satisfying conclusions, a sprinkling of the most insightful human perspectives, a dash of philosophical adage in an Irish brogue .... and speaking of the narration, five big shiney stars to Donald Corren for the melage of accents, brogue, and New Jersey twangs ... the author and narrator are a perfect match.

I enjoy the mystery but I enjoy the humor more!

The smart repartee with his family and
Grover is just the right mix of humor, The mysteries are always so different. Very enjoyable read all around.

A good closer but with a axe to grind

A good mystery even with one character who became a heavy handed attempt at satire. Sadly we can not see how the relationship between Flynn and Grover will go. Over All I stalled less with The Flynn Series then the Fletch series

Rare and Wonderful book.

Gregory McDonald tackles America’s current complicated cultural issues. He does so with warmth, humor and intelligence.
Flynn is my new favorite character. I already love him.
I hope this is a new series. I do wish the novel was 10 hours rather than 5.
More more more of Flynn.

Refreshingly candid, funny!

Mt first exposure to the Flynn series has got me hooked! It’s a refreshingly candid expose of modern morals - even more pertinent today than when it was written almost 20 years ago! There’s lots of humor, realistic characters and they narration performance is superb!

Flynn is one Fiction’s Best Secrets

I can’t recall a more unique and clever lead detective and main character. The mysteries here are well put together, seemingly impossible, yet Flynn’s keen observations and confidence assures us he’s in control.

Outstanding narrator!

Flynn is an Irish inspector working for the Boston Police under curious circumstances with dubious credentials. He’s a man with many layers. Classical education, musical, a loving husband and father of five outstanding children.

I really enjoy Gregory McDonald’s work.

I find his books to be very well written and very clever. And I love Flynn and fletch.

I hope that everybody else enjoy them as much as I have!

I love reading Inspector Flynn books

The narrator is believable and the storylines are interesting and the best part is I can walk while Reading/listening to them.
