Hooked

The shadow maker was a well crafted detour. It has a depth to its characters that makes you like the good and bad guys.

A Solid Crime Adventure/Thriller Story

This is the first of a new action/ thriller series. The main character, Henry Sirola, is a master thief working for an eastern European mob organization. He and long time bestie, Darius, are recruited for the score of a lifetime, which naturally seems too good to be true. Henry’s old flame (Isabell) is also along for the ride and gives us the possibility for a little romantic reconciliation. When it all inevitably goes sideways, the team scrambles to fix everything, going up against government corruption and a Brazilian crime syndicate. Along the way, we see secrets/mystery and betrayal that keeps you guessing with a few late reveals, but nothing too surprising. Henry is a very likable, and somewhat flawed, anti-hero that is also and FBI informant (making him sort of a good guy - right?) … which to be honest, I am not clear on how that advances the plot, which for most of the story seems to be a legitimate salvage and sale … the only question is why are crime lords involved at all. At any rate, the action and pacing is good enough to easily pull your through the story without losing interest and keep it entertaining. The ending was a bit ambiguous, although for the most part satisfying.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Fantastic Story!

Fantastic Thriller with top of the Line Story Telling to keep you wanting more!

Thrilling good story!

Thrilling, fast-paced adventure that I enjoyed! Great audio narration. Looking forward to more from this author

Who can he trust!!

The narrator was very good, but the volume was not loud enough. I had to listen to it at full volume the entire time and could barely hear it over the car engine with headsets in and I have a very quiet car. For that, I took one star off of the Performance. Other than that it was a very active story very well woven, and lots and lots of twists and turns. Recommended, if you like a thriller with a lot of action.
