A Cole McGinnis Mystery

Sequel to Dirty Secret

For ex-cop turned private investigator Cole McGinnis, each day brings a new challenge. Too bad most of them involve pain and death. Claudia, his office manager and surrogate mother, is still recovering from a gunshot, and Cole's closeted boyfriend, Kim Jae-Min, suddenly finds his teenaged sister dumped in his lap. Meanwhile, Cole has his own sibling problems-most notably, a mysterious half brother from Japan whom his older brother, Mike, is determined they welcome with open arms.

As if his own personal dramas weren't enough, Cole is approached by Madame Sun, a fortune-teller whose clients have been dying at an alarming rate. Convinced someone is after her customers, she wants the matter investigated, but the police think she's imagining things. Hoping to put Sun's mind at ease, Cole takes the case and finds himself plunged into a Gordian knot of lies and betrayal where no one is who they are supposed to be and Death seems to be the only card in Madame Sun's deck.

Excellent story. Excellent narration.

Some very emotional moments that Rhys Ford pens beautifully and Greg Tremblay narrates with passion. This book had everything I look for in a great story, and it is the reason I added audiobooks to my entertainment budget.

A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D! On to the next one immediately!

Pure and simple...ADDICTED! I might get over them yet, but I haven't found that place yet!

WOW

This is by far the one I've of the best series that I've ever listened too. Great narrator...great story.

The narrtor ROCKED this one out!

I dare you, I double dog dare you, I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to find someone who is not obsessed with this audiobook. This audiobook makes all other audiobooks want to crawl into a hole and cower. All hail Greg Tremblay, master of the Cole McGinnis narration, and Rhys Ford for giving him such a fabulous written, nuanced script.

I'm suuuuuper choosy about my audiobooks. I listen to a ton of them and I have very particular tastes.

I need my audiobooks to feel natural and I NEED a wide range of voices for each of the different characters. Greg Tremblay did a seriously masterful job with this book. It was like listening to a movie featuring a dozen different actors. Greg must have play dough for vocal chords because he managed to make each character sound perfect and unique. This book now makes my favorite audiobook list, up there with the Adrien English series (Fatal Shadows) and books narrated by Holter Graham and Bahni Turpin.

I mentioned this before, but a huge portion of the reason that the narrator was able to shine was because Rhys Ford really pulled out all the stops with this one. Not only was I kind of able to follow along with the Korean names for once (yay!), but I was totally taken with the plot. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made it hot... GOD it was awesome. The mystery was great and the chemistry between the MCs was even better. The tension, the love, the emotions between Cole and Jae left me feeling raw and vulnerable. I was so into the story that I felt like I personally was in the thick of it.

And these poor men... holy crap do they get put through hell. One person after another gets shot or hurt. I swear, Cole's life is a huge tangled mess of pain.

But it is also SO funny. So funny. I alternated between laughing and crying and just smiling manically to myself on my commute to and from work, listening to this book.

If you are a fan of audiobooks, mysteries, Asians, M/M, hell, even just ROMANCE, you have to try this series. It just keeps getting better and better.

My love for this book cannot be expressed in words

Any additional comments?

Rhys Ford. Greg Tremblay. Best combination ever. I just re-listened to this for the thousandth time and it continues to be one of my favorites. What can I say. Greg does wonderful job narrating, bringing to life one of the most awesome couples, Cole and Jae. Plus we get the introduction of Cole's hot Japanese brother, who sounds like a whole other person even to my uncultured ear--the wonders of Greg Tremblay never cease to amaze. Mostly what I love about this book is the way Cole and Jae's relationship really blossoms, and instead of being pulled apart by all the hurt they manage to keep sight of each other. Excuse me while I continue on my listening spree to the next book.

Another winner! More tears!

What made the experience of listening to Dirty Laundry the most enjoyable?

The narrator! Knowing or reading the story first, I had the characters pictured in my head, and as I have said in the last 2 audios, Greg nailed it again!

What other book might you compare Dirty Laundry to and why?

The first two! and Rhy's other series, Sinners Gin. Excellent writing, description of characters and Korean culture.

What about Greg Tremblay’s performance did you like?

His voices of the characters are perfect. Truly a performance and not a read a long!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cried. Rhys is good at that. I think she attempts to see if she can reduce her readers to tears.... But, also funny as hell!

Any additional comments?

Worth every bit of the money! will stalk the narrator for the next one in the series!

IN love with these guys

Not only am I completely head over heels for both of these guys but also the way they love each other. Even though some of it es emotional and difficult and yes, there were tears its so beautifully written. And the supporting cast is just as amazing as the the MCs. The mystery cases are always so intricate and woven so flawlessly through out the rest of the story line that once you hit play there's no stopping

Great writing for a romance series

Rhys Ford has such a way with words and, more than that, with using them to put you into the story. This installment was similar to the former two, no better, no worse. Definitely worth a credit if you have enjoyed those!

As I said in prior reviews, the reader has a peculiar lilt to his reading, but it fits the character and is easy to get used to. In this book, I thought he did a particularly good job with an emotional Jae-Min.

The story is the same every time: going to talk to all these people to figure out the crime, being in the wrong place at the wrong time a few times, and then the killer coming in from left field, being someone you could hardly have suspected due to what the writing does/does not let you see. But, hey, it works. I'm not reading this series for the mystery. I don't even like mysteries. I like good characters and love stories, and get that here!

More twists than a twizzler with a shocking ending

Cole is hired to investigate the murders of a fortune tellers clients. There are lots of twists and revelations. On the relationship front Jae-Min's sister shows up and Cole accidentally outs Jae-Min causing lots of upheaval in their relationship. And then we have a new character. A brother Cole didn't know he had and isn't ready to acknowledge. But Ichy has other plans.

As usual I loved the story as you see it has mystery/suspense, drama, angst, romance and lots of hot man-sex.

Greg Tremblay's performance is utter perfection. He is so good he can even make the female voices interesting, believable and not sound silly. He is utterly amazing

There is a surprise at the end that made me scream out loud so I have to say this story really evokes emotions

I highly recommend this book of you like mystery, suspense, drama, angst, a touch of humor and lots of hot man- sex.

Too many characters to keep track🤪

Overall this series really shines bcuz of it’s amazing narrator Greg Tremblay who time and again saves the whole series from plunging into a maze of characters merry go round that keeps me trying my best to keep tabs on who is who, especially harder with the ever changing Korean names which I try to match with each intro of character, but in the end I give up and just let the narrator pull me along for the ride and just wait for the big reveal at the end😆

I will follow up with the nx book in this series bcuz I’m too invested in the whole storyline to abandon it halfway through, but I will endured just bcuz of it’s amazing narrator Greg Tremblay who managed to breathe life into this whole series with his ever chameleon voice talent that captures everyone imagination including mine🤓👍
