Publisher's summary

The Newport Folk Festival provides a groovy backdrop for this drug-and-60s-music-soaked mystery, featuring partners in love and danger, Mick and Bridget, hopping on their motorcycles and into action. As the family of detectives quip, banter, and swing into action, posh Newport is threatened by a perverse, shadowy secret. Mick and Bridget's exuberance and optimism manage to glimmer through even the darkest of perils, as they delve into a seamy world of drugs and sex, and are forced to match wits with both the mob and a shadowy psychopathic killer.

One of the best audiobook that I ever had.

You'll search for a long time before you find a better depiction of the music,sex and party scene of the early seventies. I get the feeling that Ric Wasley was there. Apart from the atmosphere of Newport and the Folk Festival which infects it every year, Wasley has constructed two excitiing sleuths and a juicy crime for them to solve.
One of the best audiobook that I ever had.

This book was full of suspense

This book was full of suspense, romance and mystery. The narration was good and the author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I found myself taking the longer route home just so I could listen to it in the car; it keeps you going and wanting more! This is my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last. I can't wait to listen and read other books in this series!

Excellent read

Excellent read, in depth character description and easy to follow the story line. I look forward to reading other's by Ric Wasley. Brooks! This book has an extra little twist toward the end that leaves things open and while I didn't see the need for it, other than to set things up for another book, it was interesting to ponder. There were things I liked keep me interested.

Highly recommended audiobook

This book helped me get more insights on how I am operating in relationships that don’t serve me for my highest good. This one is my favorite book about love so far! It made me feel hopeful again when dating felt tiring. It also provided realistic approaches to having way better relationships! Nice job! Highly recommended audiobook

I felt the strands of the story and characters

I felt the strands of the story and characters were too broad and seemingly unrelated at times. It is hard to describe my feelings and thoughts about this book, while I thought the book was brilliant in prose and plot. This book introduces to us a cast of questionable characters who are neither good or bad but certainly not evil.

I look forward to other projects he will do

This main heartbeat keeps the listener going through the plot and taking in those twists and turns to give the listener a chance to go back time and time again to rediscover those twists and find new ones later on. Ric has outdone himself on this album and in my opinion has finally hit his stride on what he wants to do. I look forward to other projects he will do in the future.

This was so cool

We're in Newport, home of the famous jazz festival. But this is 1968, the early days, when the festival was more a happening than an event. It was "be there, or be square", and Ric Wasley's "Shadow of Innocence", is definitely not square. Everything's cool, man, as with the summer festival as a backdrop, smart-aleck amateur sleuth . If you enjoy mystery, there's plenty to go around, action too, and if you're into sixties music the scenes will resonate all the more. A definite buy.

I look forward to other projects he will do

I usually stop listening a book after three hours and move on to another book, but after listening this one, I couldn't stop listening and put it down I just wanted to know what would happen next. All in all, this novel was very satisfying. It was worth the wait, and the money. I can't wait for the second part.
