No Easy Deeds

De: Keith A Pearson

Narrado por: Matt Jopling

No Easy Deeds is neither a time travel novel nor a rom-com, but it cleverly blends elements of both genres. Genuinely funny, nostalgic, and occasionally touching, it’s another gem of a story from the bestselling British author, Keith A Pearson.

Not that he's counting but, 409 days ago, life was rosy for Danny Monk. Today, the 3rd of September 1990, Danny's future seems almost as bleak as the British economy in the new decade - the glamour and glitz of the '80s replaced by a deep recession, crippling interest rates, and mass riots over the poll tax.

Then, by pure chance, Danny stumbles upon a new job opportunity. The prospect of becoming an estate agent holds little appeal but, as one of the two million unemployed, any job is better than no job. Danny accepts the role of trainee negotiator with Gibley Smith.

Little does he know it, but Danny's new job will result in the strangest of encounters, and an offer that seems almost too good to be true - complete a somewhat unorthodox challenge in exchange for the deeds of a detached house.

What Danny doesn't realise is that there's far more to both his challenge and reward than he could possibly imagine. For better or for worse, 1990 is destined to be the year that irrevocably changes Danny Monk's future.

Great characters, excellent narration!

Just like the other four Pearson books I've listened to (so far!), the author takes the time to develop each of the main characters exceedingly well and still keeps the story moving along. Looking forward to more in this series!

Hurry! I want more now!

I loved every thing and character in this book. I am invested in their lives and cannot hardly stand the anticipation of book 2. I discovered Mr. Pearson a couple of months ago and am devouring them as quickly as possible. The second book is supposed to be released in audio in spring 2025. I will be one of the first in line to purchase as I want to make sure Danny and Kim get the happy ending they both deserve. Thank you Mr. Pearson. I am now going to download the Angel of Camden series, because I miss Clement so much.

Brilliant

I do enjoy the memories conjured when listening to Keith's books. This is another great and captivating story. Can't wait for the next one. Bring on spring 2025.

Hilarious fun read

I love this book and can’t wait for the installments that follow! Keith, please don’t ever stop writing.

Can't finish it but...

I did make it to chapter 28, hoping that something, anything, would actually happen. It didn't. I found this book under the Time Travel category, and I'm sure that eventually there will be some in there somewhere, but I'm over halfway through and it's just a poor jilted guy going to work and coming home every day. Add to that the narrator's weird pronunciation of the word "says" (like it rhymes with slays) and the fact that the main character wasn't very likeable or even interesting and none of the other characters introduced so far were likeable, and I just regret wasting all those hours.

At the time I'm writing this, there are only 3 other reviews, all 5 stars and all by anonymous users. I have to wonder if we were reading the same book.
