Pain has a permanent address

I had a hard time with this book.The story was good,but the volume went up and down at will.As soon as I would turn it up,I would be blasted with loud volume then it would be nearly inaudible! Michael Sharp seemed to be a good narrator,aside from the afore mentioned issue.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Excellent detective story

All of the books I've listened to in this series are fantastic and this one is no exception.

What a difference a good narrator makes!

What a difference a good narrator makes! I found Michael Sharp made listening to this book so much more pleasurable, then Bk 3... I found that Andrew was also pretty cagey in this mystery and he kept me interested all the way to the end... actually he may have been a little too cagey, as I'm still scratching my head... I'm still not super fond of Andrew's writing style, the choices his characters make, and some of the predicaments he puts them into seem rather nonsensical at times... 
I felt that this was probably written as an homage to the great detective, Sherlock Holmes' Hound of the Baskerville... but, you don't need to take my word for it, grab the book and see what you think!

Riveting

As a disclaimer, I have been offered a copy of this book for the sake of an honest review.

I have listened to a few of Andrew Hixson's John Handful mysteries before tackling this episode, and I must say that this one is my favourite.

Both the writing and the tone of the narration by Michael Sharp are spot on. The character development of John can be felt throughout this harrowing thriller, and the chapters end in a number of clear, if sometimes small, cliffhangers that keep you wanting more.

I really recommend this book, as I feel it is pivotal to the John Handful Mysteries serie.

Twist, twist and more twists!

The John Hayneville mysteries or one of my favorite book Siri‘s and in this one pain has a permanent address he has pushed it up a notch. He had me guessing until the end although I kind of thought I knew who did it but wasn’t certain. I cannot wait to read book 5 it looks so good. I have read every book so far. I can’t recommend these books enough.Twist and more twists!
