Resumen del Editor

Can you ever really bury the past? On a cold November evening back in 1982, real estate lawyer Marty Finnegan and socialite Tracy Reynolds were seen fighting outside the dining room of the Wolforts Roost Country Club. Unbeknownst to them, three drunken teenage boys who attend the same prep school were witnessing their bitter exchange under the cover of darkness. When the boys decide to head out on a joyride that includes holding up Finnegan at gunpoint, their lives take a turn for the worse. Less than 24 hours later, the lawyer will be discovered dead in a patch of woods near his home. He died in subzero temperatures, without having worn a coat or boots, his car parked miles away in an airport parking garage.

Now, it’s 35 years later, and one of the “boys” involved in the original 1982 holdup has found God, and he is about to confess their story to the whole world. But another one of the now middle-aged boys is bent on doing everything in his power to stop the confession. Enter Keeper Marconi, PI, who will reluctantly take on the job of persuading the confessor to keep his mouth shut. But at the same time, the police hire Marconi to delve deeper into the Marty Finnegan cold case file. They want him to determine once and for all if the lawyer simply died while out for a walk in the freezing cold, or was he murdered in cold blood?

confessions

okay I didn't expect something that amazing the story was cruel in a lot of things in my mind and do you need to confess things you did or didn't do is very strong and the story isn't an easy one but I loved it it was strong and very well written the fear the need need everything was very human and I adored it

this was a decent p.i. book about three men and a cold case murder . I did enjoy this book.

Has It All!

This book has it all! A murder mystery, witty conversations and some sex! I really enjoyed listening to this one!



I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion

Nice twists and turns

I liked this story. There is a lot of foul language in these stories, so if it offends you, don't listen. I wish Jack wasn't such a womanizer and sleeping with everyone he meets. To me that takes a little away from the story. Otherwise it is a good murder mystery. I especially liked the ending.

Quick but good!

This is my second PI Jack Marconi listen and I continue to be very pleased.

Jack and Blood are on the hunt to solve a 35-year-old case. Jack is sporting a broken heart in the process (he never learns) and that adds a little special to the search.

I pretty much called the whodunnit but that last reveal came out of nowhere. Wowzers!

The narration was excellent. There was a good variety of characters that kept the story interesting and the narrator made each voice special and unique.

Loved It!

Well written, gripping, smooth, fast paced. I absolutely enjoyed this story. It kept my interest through the the whole thing, I couldn't stop listening. The storyline and the characters were well thought out. The narrator did a great job bringing it all to life. I recommend it to all. I received it as a gift and this is my honest review.

Well-written!

Held my attention throughout.

Andrew B. Wehrlen did a great job bringing the characters to life with his narrating.

Strong language.

How Marconi handles this plot, is full of twists and turns. Readers will be glad they read. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Good Action Mystery

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and any opinions expressed herein are my own.

This is the seventh book in the Jack Marconi series. I have not read any of the prior books in this series. I found this book to be a standalone with no cliffhanger ending. I had no trouble following the characters/motivations or the story line not having read the previous books. There were some references to prior events, which were brief and had no real effect on the current action. I believe that these prior events were likely from the prior books in the series.

This is a fast-action type of book - a bit formulaic but enjoyable nonetheless. A death which seemed suspicious but ruled to be of natural causes comes back to haunt a trio of men - one who recently died and one who has found religion and wants to confess his soul. Jack becomes involved when he is hired by the third man to keep the secret of the man's death buried. But you know the old riddle of how to keep a secret between three people... There are some good twists which will keep you guessing.

The narrator, Andrew Wehrlen, did a good job and kept a good pace narrating.

Modern Noir

Thirty five years ago a man died of an apparent heart attack. Was it just a heart attack, was he scared to death, or was it a deliberate murder? Three teens, now middle-aged men, may have had something to do with it. Unfortunately, it appears that they are becoming murder victims. What happened after 35 years to bring this event back to the attention of the police? Like all good mysteries, the ending is unexpected. Although part of a series, this can be read as a standalone. I was gifted this book by the author.  I was gifted this from the author.
