Reasonable Doubt

Hazard and Somerset, Book 5

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Tristan James

After almost 20 years, Emery Hazard finally has the man he loves. But things with his boyfriend and fellow detective, John-Henry Somerset, are never easy, and they’ve been more complicated lately for two reasons: Somers’s ex-wife and daughter. No matter what Hazard does, he can’t seem to get away from the most important women in his boyfriend’s life.

While Hazard struggles with his new reality (changing dirty diapers, just to start), a bizarre murder offers a distraction. John Oscar Walden, the leader of a local cult, is found dead by the police, and the case falls to Hazard and Somers. The investigation takes the two detectives into the cult’s twisted relationships and the unswerving demands of power and faith.

But the deeper Hazard looks into the cult, the deeper he must look into his own past, where belief and reason have already clashed once. And as Hazard struggles to protect the most vulnerable of Walden’s victims, he uncovers a deeper, more vicious plot behind Walden’s murder, and Hazard finds himself doing what he never expected: racing to save the killer.

Only, that is, if Somers doesn’t need him to babysit.

Loved it I will definitely be listening to it again and listening to book 6.

Gregory Ashe’s excellent writing continues to give me inspiration and fear I’ll never be a good writer

Love the story, sad that the arc where the two of them working together is at its end, but I understand that I’m sure Ashe wants the characters to get into her things, otherwise the books might end up being formulaic after awhile, sort of like a television series with the no real plot line, and that would be tragic. What makes me so jealous is his ability to weave their strong connection together with compelling,twisting cases, and then land such descriptive beautiful descriptions of dust motes and sunlight… I’m surprised he isn’t more popular. I’m sure it’s because Hazard and Somerset are men, so people think this book isn’t for them. This is, like all his H/S books I’ve listened to, about two people in love. What couldn’t be simpler and yet so complex? I’m eager to get into Hazard as a PI.

Quite amazing

I am filled with awe at this book. The story was extremely interesting, quite complex, lots of characters and it was a lot of fun to read. For me the biggest problem was that it was so verbose. He used 25 words to say what could have been said in 10. Way too sophisticated for my pea brain. I am glad it was audible because I would have fallen asleep if I’d been reading it.

Love every book of this series

I truly love every book in this series. Gregory Ashe is an amazing author and Tristan James is a great narrator.

This series is one of my favourites

I adore the Hazard and Somerset series by Gregory Ashe and I have all of the ebooks as well as all of the available audiobooks.
Reasonable Doubt, book 5 in the series, was a gift from the author and I am so pleased that I was able to add it to my collection.
The narration is great and so is the story. I just love watching the relationship between these two men grow. They really are a great couple.
The narrator has captured the voices so well and I always pick up things that I have missed when I was reading the book.
Definitely recommended.
