Critic reviews

“ Vengeance Road is a thriller with no speed limit! It’s a great read!” (Michael Connelly)

Can't get enough

Round and around we go into the really good books by Mofina. I am addicted. Each one is so different and so good.

Just read it

This is one of the typical Rick Mofina’s thrillers - you get glued to the story. Despite the titles (usually pretty silly, if you ask me), the stories are rich of detail. Read it in order, since it’s a series of investigative reporter Jack Gannon. This time he’s at it again, curious, intuitive, always sniffing potentially lethal situations to get a good story. He’s persistent but not annoying, and he is just. Mofina is consistent in develop his characters and in threading his plot well, so you are left with mini cliffhangers throughout the book. The narrator was skillful, and made the story compelling.

loved it

great story, smart character. looking forward to listening to book 2. For once, you like the journalist!!

Rick Mofina always has such great plot twists! His stories never disappoint.

I liked it all because it always keeps your attention, makes you drive around the block two or three times after you’ve reached your destination just so you can listen a little while longer!

Fantastic!!!

Rick Mofina is one of my favorite authors. This book certainly did not disappoint. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I could not put this book down!

This author tells a story with such skill. I felt that the narrator did an excellent job at making his voice deliver the story. If you enjoy a good detailed suspense story you should love this one.

Brilliant

From the first chapter, now from the first paragraph, Rick grabs hold of us and takes us on an unexpected wild ride. Brilliant writer and entertaining writer. I consume his books on average every 72 hours. It kills me to think it has to someday end.

Rick rips off another excellent story

I loved the fast paced action and that this was a thriller with heavy psychological ties that enhances you from the beginning and draws you into the story as one aspect or another makes one think "what has this to do with the price of eggs"? Then The author scrambles all the eggs together to deliver one very satisfying story.

Typical Rick Mofina - OUTSTANDING!!!!

This is an amazing story. This book kept me riveted from about 5 minutes in until the book ended. I really like Rick Mofina and have thoroughly enjoyed his other two series (Reed and Sydowski & Jason Wade). This series is an earlier work and I didn't think it would be as good - boy was I Wrong!!!!
In this series the protagonist is a reporter, Jack Gannon. When a nursing assistant student is murdered in the park and another woman is kidnapped the police do a half ass investigation. When a confidential informant tells Gannon that a police officer is involved he runs with the story and is eventually fired as a result. He can't let it go and decides to investigate as a freelancer and if it leads somewhere hopefully a reputable publisher will pay. What ensues is a wild cross country chase for a killer who leaves bodies in his wake. This comes close to costing Gannon his own life.
Graham Rowat does a fantastic job narrating.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.

Great story!

I really liked this story, normal good Rick Mofina dramatic investigative piece. I definitely like the reader, a major improvement over the last several books I have listened to of Mofina's that were harder to understand. Looking forward to the rest of The Gannon Series!
