Caribbean Moon

A Manny Williams Thriller, Book 1

By: Rick Murcer

Narrated by: Fred Kennedy

Small-town detective/workaholic, Manny Williams, is thrilled with the prospect of finally taking the long-awaited vacation he had promised his wife, Louise. The couple's exotic getaway begins in sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico, by attending the June wedding of a fellow Lansing police officer, followed with an incredible week-long Southern Caribbean cruise on the glamorous Ocean Duchess. Tropical paradise appears to be a perfect recipe for desperately needed R and R... until the first dead body.

A bizarre, seemingly random murder in their posh San Juan Hotel, and the heinous cruise ship deaths of two of Lansing's law enforcement family, brings Manny, and his unique skills, out of cruise mode and head-long into the FBI-led investigation. Manny soon discovers that in this killer's twisted perception nothing is off limits, prompting a race against time that could cost him everything. If you like edge-of-your-seat thrillers laced with humor, you'll love this!

Critic reviews

"A new standard has been set for thrillers. In Rick Murcer's debut novel, Caribbean Moon, he's mixed the perfect ingredients to lock in readers, starting with the opening witty banter between Manny and Sophie. From there, the book takes off like a run-away roller coaster. Murcer knows just when to slow the pace and when to hit the gas. He's created a twisted mystery, with infectious characters and an unfathomable ending. Manny Williams might be the new Jedi of investigators, and Murcer is a Spielberg-like creative powerhouse. Caribbean Moon is absolutely magnetic!" (John W. Mefford, Best-selling suspense author of Committed)

Decent mystery

Could have been better. The cops would have been more caution after first murder on board. Not leaving themselves vulnerable.

Spellbounding

What made the experience of listening to Caribbean Moon the most enjoyable?

very descriptive reading. Narrator was very good.

What other book might you compare Caribbean Moon to and why?

Comparible to some of Cleve Cusslier's books.

What does Fred Kennedy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His different voices

Any additional comments?

am ready to hear the next two books.

The ending

Enjoyed the entire story. Wow what an ending . Very well written.This story is so scary in parts for me .

Dialog for a teen

The story was simple and the quips simpler.

The ending wasn't an ending but more a commercial break.

Good story

The author should probably research guns before going into detailed descriptions of them. Glocks don’t have “clips” or a safety to “switch off”. Credibility kinda tanked after hearing that.
