Story
PI Joey Mancuso was just a kid when he watched a stranger walk into a Little Italy bar, shoot his mobster dad in the chest, and calmly walk back out, disappearing into the Manhattan din. The murder was never solved. And the old mob adage “an eye for an eye” went unfulfilled. But now, at death’s door, infamous mobster Tony the Hammer summons Joey and utters three mysterious words: “Wetherly Stevens, Barcelona.” Joey has no doubt he’s just been told how to find his father’s killer.

Publisher's summary
Can a priest, his brother, and the brother's girlfriend solve a murder case and see justice done - or will they be the murderer's latest victim? A Murder on Wall Street takes us inside the world of Captain O'Brian's Irish Pub and Cigar Bar in Manhattan, a legendary hotspot in the Financial District. Investigating the death are pub owners Joey Mancuso, fired from the New York Police Department for his unorthodox methods, and his brother Father Dominic, who isn't your typical priest. Also investigating is Marcy Martinez, a Cuban bombshell and FBI agent who is Joey's girlfriend.
When a customer kills himself after celebrating the night before, the three know something's wrong. Turns out, the customer's death coincides with people losing money - lots of it - and some of those people are very, very dangerous.

Exceeded my expectations!
This is another new author for me. This is also another author I will be watching out for. This book actually surprised me, I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did.
Since there are other detailed reviews I won't restate what the book is about. I will say I thought this was an unlikely trio for PIs but the author makes it work and I give him credit for that.
If you have kindle unlimited this is a no brainer, it's FREE!
Stefan Rudnicki does an excellent job narrating.
I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this book (at a little over 5 hours it's actually a novella).

Good story!
I've previously listened to and reviewed The Dead Have Secrets and Due Diligence by Owen Parr. The first of the two was excellent while Due Diligence was a really bad novel. I decided not to listen to any more Owen Parr novels until Audible Listener Shelley gave A Murder on Wall Street a positive review. I've learned in following her that when Shelley gives a suspense mystery novel a positive review I'm likely to find it very worthwhile. This novel is superb!
Joey Mancuso and Catholic priest Father Dom O'Brian are brothers (same mother but different fathers). The brothers also work together as private investigators and Father O'Brian owns the NYC pub they work out of. Mancuso is an ex-cop who lost his job due to using unusual methods. The story starts with a man apparently killing himself by jumping out of his office window. Is it really suicide? The case gets very interesting as financial crimes are also linked with the case. Excellent novel!
As Shelley mentions A Murder on Wall Street, Kindle and Audible editions combined, is available free to borrow (but not to own) at Amazon to members of Kindle Unlimited. During the most recent two years I have borrowed over 150 audio books with my Kindle Unlimited membership. I've used the membership to purchase 225 other Audible audio books usually at very steep discounts. For me the membership which costs $120 annually (~$80 annually during Amazon's once a year sale on Kindle Unlimited membership) has saved far more than $1000.

Ripped From The Headlines
There is something about a well-written Detective/PI story that makes me not able to put the book down. The interaction of the private investigator (or in this case investigators) and the people surrounding the crime makes for such an enjoyable story.
Joey Mancuso used to be a cop. He was forced off of the force due to some good police work that had him barking up the wrong tree. Now he helps run a bar that is frequented by Wall Street money men while trying to get a PI firm off the ground. He is joined by his half-brother Father O’Brian. And believe it or not, the combination of an ex-cop and a priest make for some awesome detective and PI work.
After finishing A Murder On Wall Street I can tell you this — I will definitely be picking up other audiobooks in this series if Parr and Skyboat make them. I loved the interaction of Mancuso and Father O’Brien along with his interactions with his girlfriend and FBI agent Marcy. Mancuso mentions numerous times that he had a different way of solving crimes and that came out a little, but overall I found him to be one of the more enjoyable PI’s I’ve followed.
The story itself was straight out of the playbook of real life crime TV show “American Greed”. Honestly, after finishing it, I feel like it was real and that I actually watched a documentary instead of reading a fiction book.
Parr did his research — every character in this book felt both believable and like they could have done it. The ending reminded me a bit of the ending of the movie Clue (with slightly less comedy). Mancuso seemed to have an heir for theatrics (but I won’t ruin the ending by explaining why I mean here).
The narration for A Murder On Wall Street was done by Stefan Rudnicki who does a great job. I had no issues at all listening to him tell this story. To be honest, he allowed me to get even more into it. He voiced each character slightly differently, but the overall tone remained the same allowing for an easy listening experience.
Overall, A Murder On Wall Street was a highly enjoyable and relatively short crime thriller/mystery that I think readers of either genre will enjoy. Fans of American Greed should also check this out, it feels like it was ripped right from the headlines.
I was given a free copy of this book -- it has not affected my review in any way.

solidly written mystery with strong dialog
A trio of unlikely crime solvers come together to solve the suicide of a customer. Oddly, this customer had everything to live for and even more to die for! Joey Mancuso, ex-NYPD with unusual methods; Marcy, FBI agent and drop dead gorgeous girlfriend of Mancuso; and, Father Dominic, Mancuso’s brother and co-owner of the Captain O’Brian’s Irish Pub. Suspicious of their friends and client’s death, the three begin their investigation into the seamy underworld of Wall Street finances. Is there a correlation between losing money and death? That is what Joey, Dominic, and Marcy want to know.
The book was a solidly written mystery with strong dialog and detailed descriptions. The characters were fully developed. At the end, Joey Mancuso makes the grand announcement exposing the murderer which felt reminiscent of Columbo or Ellery Queen. The story flow was smooth and flawless. A short listen but the plot was easy to follow.
The narrator, Stefan Rudnicki’s performance gave life to the characters – their voices sounded much like I thought they would/should. His voice was entertaining giving voice to the gravelly sound of mystery and intrigue for Mancuso and Father Dominic was well done too. There were different dialects from Irish to Cuban to Manhattan Mob. He kept them straight, believable and not over the top.
This book will appeal to fans of Owen Parr and anyone who loves dark mysteries with a grandstand at the end – announcing the killer in a room full of suspects. While this is not my favorite style of sitting through discovering who the killer is, it seemed to work.
There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.

Modern Twist on a PI Murder Mystery
This book is a modern version of the old style private investigator murder mysteries complete with a reveal. It is well-written and well paced with a solid plot. The story includes the reader in discovering the evidence. The ending is a surprise, but the evidence was there all along.
The detectives are half-brothers. One is a Catholic priest and one an ex-police officer. They get help from Joey's (ex-cop) on-again, off-again girlfriend, FBI agent Marcy Martinez and a parishioner who is in love with Father Dom. The detectives look into a suicide of a Wall Street agent who just got a promotion. When they start digging, they uncover other crimes. But how are the hit and run and financial crimes related to the jumper? Was it really suicide? Joey's gut tells him that all of this is related to his last murder case on the police force. With so many powerful suspects, will the detectives ever be able to unravel the case?
I am new to both the author and the narrator. The story is fabulous. It gets the details right without getting bogged down in them. The book represents Catholicism accurately and positively. It does the same for the police. It is relatively clean. The narrator has a fantastic radio voice that works well with the PI genre. He does a great job and gets the accents right.
This story reminds me of the Bernie Rhodenbarr series by Lawrence Block because of the partnership of unusual characters, the entertaining reveal, the intriguing mystery and the humorous dialogue. Great book. I received this book for free from the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Two Brothers
This is my first listen by author and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the characters of Joey Mancuso and Father Dominic O’Brian who are brothers. Together with FBI agent Marcy Martinez solve the murder of Jonathan Parker who was classified as a suicide as well as other crimes. Loved the ending. It was suspenseful mystery and good narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you!!

Excellent. Knocked it out of the park.
The first book, in what is to be a long line of Joey Mancuso and Father O’Brien novels, is amazing. It was not just a collection of murder mystery tropes. It was well thought out and planned, like a good heist. The characters were believable and made decisions based on real world thought processes. The story was good and tight, no frivolously wasted chapters. Great flow and fast paced. Looking forward to the next book. The narration was great and the accents were well done and authentic. I would highly recommend this story to any one looking for an interesting take on a murder mystery.

No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if I had that much time.

A Good read / listen
A good detective/PI mystery.
This is the first book I've listened/read of Owen Parr's a great introduction to his work.
Well written, paced nicely to keep the pages turning.
I am impressed and will be looking to read/listen to more in the future. Highly recommended.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Hercule Poirot Denouement.
Interesting cast of characters. I always like the crime genre which includes a religious (or a former) protagonist. This also includes former NYPD & current FBI. The story is not far fetched and given that it is part of the Kindle Unlimited library, well worth the investment!

Disappointing
Wooden characters, crude portrayals of women (one female character is referred to as "big tits"). Narrator (Stefan Rudnicki) has a GORGEOUS, sonorous voice which kept me with the book longer than I expected, but he isn't believable as a New Yorker of Italian descent and his Irish accent is execrable. I gave up.

Okay introduction to new author
I read the synopsis of this book a few times but kept rejecting it, eventually only deciding to give it a go as it was part of the Audible Plus catalogue. Joey, an ex-NYPD officer and his half-brother, Catholic priest Fr. O’Brian are an unlikely pair of private investigators who also run a bar together. The characters and the relationships between them are likeable although I do have to suspend belief a bit that a priest would get so involved with investigations - but I’m a sucker for Grantchester so who am I to criticise.
At just over 5 hours it’s a short novella and at this length the whole thing works quite well. At times there’s a bit of repetition - you don’t need to keep telling me that when you hear the street noise you know someone has entered the bar for example, in a full length novel this might have become very annoying.
Stefan Rudnicki Does a reasonable job of narration, the Irish accent is a bit dodgy but overall his tone is pleasant to listen to and different characters are well defined. I’m pleased I gave this book a chance as it’s not my preferred genre; I would definitely return to the Plus catalogue for more in this series but I wouldn’t use a credit to buy one.

Truly amazing!
Having listened to many crime audiobooks, this one (and other Owen Parr books) definitely sticks out like a shining gem. There are plot’s twists round every corner and has a truly satisfying ending which makes an impact on following books in the series.

5* Brilliance
Stunning audiobook
Written in 21st century with a Neto Wolfe type book. Much better than a traditional whodunit with police/ FBI.

brilliant narrator
I enjoyed this because the narrator made it almost believable. Zipped along and a great "get them all together and reveal all " last few chapters.
