Mob Bosses & Tax Losses

The Time Travelling Taxman Series, Book 5

De: Rachel Ford

Narrado por: John Carter Aimone

A decades-old case. A charismatic gumshoe. A sinister don.

Alfred Favero, senior analyst with the IRS, shouldn’t have muddled the timeline. But curiosity got the better of him.

There was killing and a cat involved, too, but he’d rather not talk about that. Suffice it to say, a mafia prince is dead, and Alfred is on the run through time with a wrongly accused detective.

To unmask the men framing his new friend, he’ll tangle with New York City’s most sinister criminals. It’ll take all of his knowledge and investigations across multiple timelines to get to the bottom of it, before he finds himself sleeping with the fishes.

Note: No pets are harmed in this book. The cat definitely does not die.

A Real Boy

This is probably the most traditional type of time travel story: guy goes back in time to right a wrong, the world is changed for the better. Except for Alfred, who has promised Nancy he won’t use the time travel device, doing that without telling her breaks the trust between them. Can love flourish where there is no trust?

Alfred is coming along nicely as a Real Boy, instead of just an introverted, OCD tax analyst for the IRS. I have enjoyed tracking his progress into adulthood, and admire Nancy’s deft touch in his development.

Enjoyable continuation of the series

Mob Bosses & Tax Losses (Time Travelling Taxman Book 5), my seventh read from author Rachel Ford. This book is so well-written & enjoyable. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. John Carter Aimone’s talented narration adds to the book's enjoyment. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I love these!

This is the ninth book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to anything she writes!! I’ve listened to five of the Time Traveling Taxman and some of her other works. Her writing style varies and she covers several genres. Each one is exceptionally well done.
In this book, Alfred uses the time machine again. Realizing he messed up, he tries to keep it a secret from Nancy. That of course, does not go so well. Once again, we are treated to hilarity, thanks to Alfred’s social awkwardness, sense of right and wrong, and blossoming relationship with Nancy.

This is the fifth book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( John Carter Aimone ) and he is Alfred! I love his performances! He enhances the witty writing with just the right amount of everything. I especially love his portrayal of Alfred when he knows he’s in trouble.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

Loved it.

Takes off a little slow, but once you start really listening the laughter begins. I enjoy Rachel Fords Audiobooks, and John Carter Aimone does a remarkable job of Narration.

Oooo, Alfred's in trouble now...

Our hero believes in justice, strongly. So we he discovers an injustice, the temptation to fix it is overwhelming. If only he could go back in time...

This is book five of the series. There are some references to the previous story, but overall it stands up just fine on its own, so feel free to start here if you like.

This is a light science fiction novel with a heavy dose of dry humor. After all, what would you expect when the hero how considers taxman as one of the pillars of society? The story is very well written and easy to read, but the plot has plenty of twists and turns that keep the reader guessing. The characters are also fantastic and the wonderful (and often humorous) interactions between them are always enjoyable. One minor warning is that this book does end on a slight cliffhanger, but nothing major. Overall, a fun read as always.

Highly recommended.

My review is based on the audio book version of the story.

I received an ARC from StoryOrigin for review purposes.
