Vicious Vendetta

A Jack West Novel

By: Deanna King

Narrated by: David Eskridge

Cyrus Shelton has spent the last twenty-three years locked up in the Huntsville State Penitentiary with only one thing on his mind - revenge on the arresting detective, Frank Windom, and his lousy defense attorney, Jonell Simone. Now paroled and having learned Windom had the nerve to die, he sets his sights on Windom's former partner, Jack West.

When a cryptic letter addressed to him AND Frank arrives, Jack is curious but dismisses it; he is deeply involved with a triple homicide. The Attorney General’s Office steps in ordering Jack to stand down from his investigation and he knows his case goes deeper than just a homicide.

With no murder case to work, he turns his attention to the cryptic letter and finds out Jonell received a similar letter. Cyrus Shelton is on his murder rampage and the gloves come off.

Jack wants revenge.

Now it is personal.

Very good listen

Loved the storyline. The characters were well developed. It was intense and heart thumping with some unexpected twists

Kept me listening

Really good read I didn’t expect it but really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the first book and the rest of the series

Predictable

No twist… basically knew what would happen… Narration good, but not a voice I want to hear again.

Tough detective doesn't disappoint

I like the "no BS" attitude of Jack West. The incidences were woven together well. One thing bothered me, though. What Brooks was involved in when West heard him on the phone was never explained; it remained a loose end. The performance was overall well done. There was some confusion on who was speaking sometimes because there's not a lot of difference between the voices of some characters.

the plot and characters

the plot it was swisty easy to get involved. great story could have had a bit more drama.
