Choices

Scott Jarvis Private Investigator, Book 1

De: Scott Cook

Narrado por: Dave Alexander

Life is decisions – your career, a steamy romance… or whether or not to pull the trigger. Choose wrong… and people die.

At first, the disappearance of a NASA engineer seems straight forward to young police detective Scott Jarvis. However, the deeper he dives, the deadlier the peril. A trail of sex, money and mysterious characters lead him to the Florida Keys where he discovers a deadly Mafia smuggling operation… but as soon as Jarvis gets close, he’s strangely yanked off the case.

Now Jarvis must choose – stay within the limiting boundaries of the police force or become a private detective. Does he choose the safe path? Play by their rules and let it go…? Or take the dangerous road. Do things his way and stop a crime syndicate from selling top-secret military tech to the Cubans…

Stir in a budding romance with a beautiful FBI agent, warm nights in the Florida tropics with a few dashes of murder, kidnapping and espionage and Scott Jarvis is about to descend into the most explosive adventure of his life.

Guns blaze and blood spills in this crime thriller series!

mixed feelings

story was pretty good, but narrator has only one voice tone, regardless of the situation.

Very insightful telling with earnest inflection when appropriate.

New sailors will be grateful to understand that there is lots of water out there.

Good start to the new series

Another well written piece of work and totally like the fact that the narrator remains the same from Bullshark and Enterprise book collections.

Good Start

Coming from the USS Bull Shark series it was not a letdown. I’m not giddy, but I’ll see what Scott does in book two. I’m hoping to get that excitement as from the David Wolf, Penn Cage, Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp books. Dave Alexander is an excellent performer/reader. On to book 2.

Great original that sets the tone for the series to come!

The first book is always the most important, whether the best or not. The author does a great job of explaining how this action packed PI got started and what mostly motivates him. Could’ve done without all the romance but it hopefully tails off as the series goes on. Excited to read the next, never put it down!
