Damaged Goods

Hannibal Jones Mystery Series

De: Austin S. Camacho

Narrado por: Royal Jaye

Anita Cooper was three times a victim. Her father's death crushed her dreams of college and a better life. Then her purity was drowned in powerless anxiety, and her gentle fantasies displaced by unspeakable humiliation, all because of a hard man who knew the way of the world. Rod Mantooth stole both her innocence and her father's legacy...a secret that could have rebuilt her life.

Anita was lost until she encountered another hard man who knew the way of the world - the urban paladin and professional troubleshooter named Hannibal Jones. Like a rolling mass of icy fury, Hannibal follows the trail of corrupted human debris that would lead to Rod Mantooth and a final showdown in the icy waters of the Atlantic.

Just like listening to a movie.

This was my 1st Hannibal Jones Adventure. Throughly enjoyed the story and performance by the narrator. There were some interesting moments and some very humorous sections. I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Looking forward to more in this series especially with this narrator.

this book was given to me at my request for review

this book was Awesome. couldn't stop listening to it. it's a wonder how some women let men dominate their lives.

Some people make human a swear word

Virginia, Washington DC, action-adventure, friendship, abuse, crime, theft, coercion, thriller, victimization

Another terrific thrill ride, this one dealing with one of the nastier sides of human behavior, the world of submissives, BDSM, and gaslighting of women by twisted men. One in particular, the slime who victimized the daughter of a brilliant chemist and stole her inheritance is Hannibal's quarry. The assignment of finding the inheritance and restoring said daughter was bankrolled by another genius, this one with a solid set of personal ethics and a fortune to back it all up. There's a whole lot else going on, of course, and all of the characters are clearly drawn and confirm or deny what is human in people. It's really the kind of storytelling that grabbed me by the imagination and wouldn't let go!
Narrator Royal Jaye seems perfect for this series as he can easily delineate the multitude of male characters with apparent ease.
I won this audio in a giveaway! Yay me!

Entertaining read!

Damaged Goods was not my typical kind of book. I was skeptical at the start as to if I would enjoy it. Ten and a half hours later, I was glad I did! Hannibal is a very interesting and solidly written character. Really dug his taste in music as well. The book was comical at times, had a few twists and that you might not expect (a lot of predictability as well though), and an engaging enough story to keep me interested in what was coming next. Again, this is not the normal genre I lean towards but, that being said, I may be inclined to check out another entry into the Hannibal Jones series after my overall positive experience with this one. Fully recommend.

A tough and gritty mystery with a fantastic narrator

This was my first Hannibal mystery and it won’t be the last. It’s a tough and hard story that reminds me of the old black and white Bogard movies, I grew up with. It’s not for the faint of hard. The story contains scenes of abuse against women and violence, that might trigger some. For everyone ells it’s worth a listen. A big part of this is do the the narrator, who are probably the best I have ever listened too. It was like listening to radio theater. He’s performance was nothing less than brilliant. Superb changes of his voice for the different characters and a delightful rap too. You won’t be disappointed with this book.
I received a review copy of the audio version of this book. Since I loved it so much, I am leaving a voluntary review.
