Editorial reviews

Author Don Easton worked undercover for 20 years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a fact that informs his Jack Taggart Mysteries about a Mountie who works under a seedy, false identity. The books are realistic and revealing, relentless in unveiling the dark underbelly of Canadian crime. Being a police office in plain clothes is one thing; becoming a criminal is another. Loose Ends is Easton's first book in the Taggart series. Though he encounters some first-time author stumbles, the end result is both gripping and grisly. Actor and AudioFile Earphones Award-winner David Drummond softens some of the shocking scenes without compromising the overall verisimilitude of this dark debut.

Publisher's summary

Jack Taggart, an undercover Mountie, lives in a world where the good guys and the bad guys change places in a heartbeat. Taggart is very good at what he does. Too good to be playing by the rules. The brass decide to assign a new partner to spy on him.Taggart's new partner discovers a society dependent upon unwritten rules. To break these rules is to lose respect. To lose respect is to lose one's life. Loose Ends is terrifying. It is a tale of violence, corruption, and retribution, but it is also a story of honour and respect.

Good story

I didn’t care for this narrator. I’ve listened to many books in the past and this story was very interesting. I would love to get more in this series but I don’t know if I can listen to this guy’s voice for more. All this women sound whiney or snotty. A lot of the men who aren’t the star sound like whiney toddlers as well. Or to me that’s how it comes across. I just didn’t enjoy. If these books were read by someone else I’d definitely get the series.

the heavy breathing is too distracting

I barely got started but could not even get through the first chapter. The inhales of breath were so distracting and annoying.

Canadian cops are made to look like pussies.

Over anxious bosses that think like morons. The idiotic wife drops off a baby with her husband doing Prime Minister detail? Seriously? The whole Mounted Police force sounds like naive idiots.

Just an okay story

Could have picked a better narrator, felt like I was listening to a child’s book. Writer doesn’t create realistic characters. For a Mountie, the main characters are just not the brightest of people, unless that’s the way Mounties are in real life.

Forgive narrator for a good story

Rivating story that takes you into the evilness of drugs and gangs. The voice of the narrator portraying the females and main character's partner can grate on you, focus on the story instead. There is true grittiness on the horrible perverted ways that criminals treat their victims and the story doesn't sugar coat or smooth over this. Enjoy
