Would you commit a murder if no one was watching?

Congress can’t pass a budget, and Biscayne National Park is paying the price. With Special Agent Kurt Hunter out of work, two rivals gangs start a turf war in the park.

Always fun to witness Kurt outmaneuver Martinez

In this 'episode' of Kurt v Martinez...ok, let's get serious...This book occurs during a government shutdown...does that stop our illustrious park ranger from solving murders? Not likely. This time Kurt finds himself tangling with 1% bikers...you know, those guys that operate outside of the law, a crooked FBI agent, and Martinez angling for camera time. I really enjoy this series and this book did not disappoint. Glad that Kurt is finally having some time with his daughter. Can't wait to see/hear more on his relationship with Justine in the next book. Always superb narration.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

He’s at it again

I always enjoy books read by the narrator and I’ve enjoyed this series a lot. Hunter is always out to fight crime and does it just right.

Another great listen in the Kurt Hunter series.

I've enjoyed all the books in this series, definitely worth a listen. Paul McSorley does a great job narrating.

my favorite so far

I really loved this book the best. The characters have found their stride and work well together. It was interesting having a MC involved in this mystery. Hunter is working under the shadow of a government shutdown which will affect his paycheck but he also knows that can leave a void for unsavory characters to fill. Justine and Kurt are getting to know each other better. I usually roll my eyes at romance angles but it's very well done and merges with the action seamlessly. I actually find myself interested in how things turn out for these two.

Steven Becker's story telling is definitely at it's best here. If I had one complaint, it would be the length. The books need to be longer Mr. Becker!!

The voice acting by Paul J. McSorley is very well done and pairs well with an action adventure. One thing I noticed this time around was, you can't tell who the bad guy is going to be. McSorley doesn't make the bad guys sound like villains which helps draw out the suspense. His choice of accent and voice for each character stays consistent throughout all the books in the series.

I give this mystery series five stars and recommend it for anyone looking for a new author.

Very Good Book

Another great book in the series! The narrator done a great job telling the story. I would recommend this book for anyone of all ages. I have really enjoyed this book in the series.
