Jack of Spades

By: James Hankins

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

Just two years ago, the media turned Detective John Spader into a hero. He'd caught a twisted serial killer terrorizing Massachusetts, and the "Jack of Spades," as the media dubbed Spader, was born. But when the murderer walked free on a technicality - free to kill again - the public turned on Spader. Now a new serial killer is on the loose. He wears the silly, gap-toothed, grinning mask of Galaxo, Starboy Avenger! - a cartoon alien of unparalleled popularity with children. With Galaxo's body count rising, and the public's fear growing, it's up to the Jack of Spades to find the man beneath the mask and stop the killing.

Not Very Believable

This book started out very interesting. But, when the detective started narrowing down suspects, it quickly went beyond the limits of believability.

Enjoyed the story..

Enjoyed the story but didn't care for the narrator
He made the story weak in a way. Otherwise I would recommend it to other readers/listeners.

Fantastic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a well written and read book.

Any additional comments?

I have found another great author to follow! This is the 3rd book of his I have listened to and all have been great, they keep you guessing to the end. You think you know then he twist it alittle and you second guess yourself!! James Hankins leaves you wanting more after each book!

Great Author

Really good read. I've read 3 books from him and have enjoyed every one. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a hood cop and criminal book. H

Cartoon or crime novel? Here you get it both.

I am a fan of well constructed intrigue, subtle language, real mystery and psychologically interesting insights into main characters. This was the first Hankins I listened to and while I thought the narration was excellent, the story could have been thought out by a kid watching too many teenage horror movies. Storyline reminded me of a bad cartoon, flat, obvious und unrealistic. I found the use of bad language disturbing (the use of f-word and s-word seem to be a preferred stylistic tool of the author). Mor of this? No, thanks. My first and last Hankins.
