Fatal Shadows

The Adrien English Mysteries

De: Josh Lanyon

Narrado por: Chris Patton

Someone's out to get Los Angeles bookseller Adrien English. His best friend has been viciously murdered, now he's getting weird phone calls and sinister gifts from a mysterious "admirer." The cops think he's trying to divert suspicion from himself - with the exception of sexy and homophobic homicide detective Jake Riordan. Is Riordan really such a great detective - or does he have a few secrets of his own? Is his offer to help Adrien on the level or is he out to nail his favorite suspect - to the wall?

ah yes....adrien with an e.....

i love the adrien english series....
the mystery is there... and adding the "romance" of protagonists
it works....and the purple prose is non existent!

One of my favorite series.

I love Josh Lanyon, and Adrien English is my favorite series. Chris Patton is a lovely narrator. The characters are easily distinguished and he really catches Adrien’s sarcasm and humor. This is a fun series and I’ve read it a few times.
I saw a couple reviews call it homophobic, but it’s not the book that’s homophobic, but a few characters that are. Adrien deals with them the same way he deals with everything: stubbornness, sarcasm and humor. This series makes you laugh, cry and growl in frustration.
I love Adrien with an E.

No other like it.

what else can I say. this is my 6th time listening to entire series. there is no other like it.

not bad

Performance was good storyline was ok. Just not to my taste. Might try the author again.

Fascinating amateur sleuth

Adrien English, mystery bookstore owner cum amateur sleuth, is a sensational character—smart, damaged, wry, and a lot stronger than he thinks he is. Josh Lanyon’s writing is funny, rich, and consistently captivating. It takes five books to develop both Adrien’s subtle, danger-driven evolution into a man more at ease in his own skin and the company of his family and friends, and his beautifully complex relationship with big, gruff homicide detective Jake Reardon, and it’s worth every minute—especially given Chris Patton’s spot-on narration. Fatal Shadows sets the stage, but you won’t get the true Adrien English experience unless you keep going.
