Iniquitous

By: Craig R. Key

Narrated by: Diane Lehman

Alcoholic Private Investigator, Drew Schweitzer, is hired to aid the police in a Missing Persons case by the parents of a terminally ill little girl, Abby Deirdre, who disappeared from the hospital a month earlier. Unsure if the child is still alive, the Pi finds himself in a race against time to find her before her condition worsens or at least find the people who took her. With every new discovery, it seems that Abby's disappearance may be linked to something worse. Something sinister. Something evil. Something iniquitous.

Unexpected great read!!

Where does Iniquitous rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is up in my list of good reads! I've read thousands of books it has to be in the top 50.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was PI Drew. I loved his story, and although he was a run down alcoholic ex-cop, the telling of his journey to who he is currently is a story in itself! He suffered great loss and I feel it made him more personable despite his problems with the drink and suicidal ideation.

Which character – as performed by Diane Lehman – was your favorite?

Again, Drew was my favorite. Although the reader was female, she put through the gruff and blatant emotion of the grizzled PI

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

While it did not make me laugh or cry, I was greatly saddened by the story of Drew where he lost his wife and young child to postpartum depression. Additionally, I had a strong reaction to the children being taken who had terminal illnesses.

A good crime novel!

I whipped right through this book. At first I thought it was going to be the same tired xcop who drinks and tries to save the girl...but I was wrong. This book has a great twist! The performance was well done and made me feel like I was in the xcops head. I really enjoyed this book. I was given a free copy of this book and have left this voluntary and unbiased review.

Good Suspenseful Thriller

This was the first book by this author I’ve listened to and really enjoyed it. I loved the characters of Drew and Frank. This story is about ex-cop turned PI who was hired to find a kidnapped child (Abby) then many twists and turns with sad ending. Recommend to anyone who enjoys good thriller with hint of paranormal.

Devil in the flesh

I'm not sure this book was titled correctly I think devil in the flesh is more accurate. I honestly had no clue where this story was going but the road less traveled was not expected. The PI did what the police couldn't do. Solve a mystery but Abby is still alive and children are still being kid napped. I love that the author left it open for a second book.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Entertaining Supernatural Thriller

What made the experience of listening to Iniquitous the most enjoyable?

The fact that it was suspenseful, and had some pretty scary parts.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Drew was my favorite character because I felt so sorry for him for losing his wife and daughter in such a violent way, and he was suffering every day.

What three words best describe Diane Lehman’s performance?

Average, mediocre, lukewarm

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when Drew actually pulled a gun on his former partner.

Mystery turned Paranormal

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to "Iniquitous." It grabbed me right away and kept me interested right until the end. The story involves the kidnapping of a sick child and one alcoholic PI's attempts to get her back. I can't say much of anything else about the plot without giving away spoilers! Craig Key does a great job with this tight mystery. For the most part, Lehman delivers good narration with the exception of the missing girl's father. He sounds like Kermit the Frog and that was very distracting - listening to Kermit talk about his missing daughter. Otherwise, I liked this read and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fun mystery!

Wowzers!

So I started and finished this today. It grabbed me from the very first chapter and was excellent, however fyi it is not a feel good hugs and puppies book. Still awesome though! My only nit pick is that the main character is called Drew, or the private investigator or the PI interchangeably throughout making it a little hard to track from sentence to sentence. The narrator has a pleasant voice but struggles with a male voice or two but does do well with the main guy. Overall really enjoyed and will check out more by this author!

The definition will reveal much

Iniquitous: grisly unfair; morally wrong. I had to look it up. I did t know what it meant. I find the title to be chillingly accurate. Be ready to read a story that isn't for those of weak will. Fans of the exorcist, possessions, murder mysteries, paranormal, the story of job. You will enjoy this chilling tale and all it Holds. Can't wait to read more by this author read by this narrator.

Wow !!

I don't know what to say but WOW! I even took a morning off to finish it! This is Definately the best book I've read (and listened to)this year!! It is a book that I would give top honors without a narrator but she REALLY made it come to life. Don't miss it.
