The Last Picks, Book 10

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Andrew Gibson

Grief is the price of love.

When an upscale restaurant opens in Hastings Rock, Dashiell Dawson Dane (just Dash) and his friends are excited to get reservations for the soft open. After all, winter on the Oregon Coast is the quiet season, and Dash is looking forward to a little excitement. (And, of course, dessert.)

Instead, their arrival at the restaurant brings them face to face with Indira’s ex-husband, Mal. And when Mal ends up dead, Indira is the chief suspect.

Dash is sure he can prove Indira’s innocence, but before he has the chance, tragedy strikes Bobby’s family. With Bobby drawn back to Portland, Dash finds himself torn between helping his boyfriend and saving Indira.

And the killer isn’t done yet.

Indira's Story...Bobby's grief..a LOT.

I loved learning more about Indira, each novel continues the development of The Last Picks group. A restaurant opening, a family death, a murder are nuanced and emotional ( a few tears w Bobby) that make every scene hit harder. Listening always elevates my experience and emotions thanks to Andrew Gibsons performance. Book 10, waiting for 11 & 12. WooHoo

Wham!

There is a lot to this story. The mystery of who killed the restaurant owner. The loss in Bobby's family. The relationship between Dash and Bobby. The latter was my favorite. The growth between these two men and how they work out their frustrations was perfectly written. Loved it. Andrew Gibson continues to provide a consistent voice to these men that bring the passion to life.

My new favorite in the series!

Dash needs to solve a mystery to prove Indira's innocence, but he also needs to be a good boyfriend. The conflict between those two tasks keeps Dash on edge for the entire story. I was right there with him, cheering him on and consoling him when he couldn't find the right balance. For most of this book, Dash struggles to find a break, yet his handling of the most challenging moments demonstrates the growth in his character. At this point in the narration of the series, I am almost convinced that the narrator, Andrew Gibson, is Dash. Gibson's emotional performance feels authentic, and the energy in his voice matches my expectations of Dash's personality. I was so engaged with listening to this book that I was almost mad when the story had ended. Sigh, I know there are a few books left in the series, but I want to listen to them right now!!!!!!!!!!!

Dash & Bobby try to help Indira

Indira is a suspect in the murder of her ex husband. Dash tries to figure out who really killed him, and a woman associated with him. Bobby is almost dies trying to help the woman. Some surprising news and information is given in this book.
The narrator did a wonderful job.

I really loved it.

My favorite of the series

The Last Picks is a heartwarming, truly enjoyable series, and this is my favorite book in it—but I wish the plot thread relating to Bobby and his family didn't disappear after this installment. Oh well; nothing's perfect.

My thanks to the author for a complimentary copy of this audiobook.
