Moonlight Gets Schooled

Dick Moonlight PI, Book 8

De: Vincent Zandri

Narrado por: Daniel Dorse

When a defeated looking man shows up at Moonlight’s riverfront loft in the middle of the night seeking the P.I.’s services, he does something quite unexpected. He kills himself with a gunshot to the head. After the APD Chief Homicide Detective Nick Miller arrives on the scene, it’s discovered the now dead man was married to a cheating woman who goes by the unlikely name of Virginia Gamble.

Mrs. Gamble it turns out, is teaching English at a local private boy’s school called Catholic Brother’s Academy where it’s alleged she’s been having sex with several of the underage boys. Miller wants Moonlight to look into Virginia Gamble to determine if she managed to drive her husband to suicide—a major crime in New York State.

Thinking the case is easy money, what Moonlight doesn’t realize is that he’s about to open a can of worms that not only implicates the private school and its principal, but also angers Gamble’s Mexican cartel, drug dealing boyfriend, who vows to kill every man and boy she’s ever slept with. The thing is, not even Moonlight can resist Virginia Gamble’s beauty and charm, which ends up placing him at the very top of the to-be-killed list.

The bullets are flying, the atmosphere is searing hot, and a luscious blond is wreaking havoc on the concrete jungle in this brand-new Dick Moonlight PI Thriller. But then, what else would you expect? For fans of Michael Connelly, Charlie Houston, Robert B. Parker, Ace Atkins, and more, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Thriller and Shamus Award winning author Vincent Zandri delivers yet another killer thriller you just might stay up all night to binge.

dick has a busy day

This was a cross between the shoot out at the O. K. Correl and the terminator, and I loved every bloody second of it. Dick was an impressive PI, and nothing seemed to rattle him. He was easy to like and appreciate. This was highly entertaining, and I hope to find more by this talented author. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an excellent job bringing it to life.

Bodies are dropping like flies – what about Dick?

Moonlight gets Schooled is the ninth book/story in Vin Zandri’s Dick Moonlight tales that I’ve listened to or read. All the previous stories I listened to were either narrated by some exceptional narrators or virtual voice, but listening to Moonlight gets Schooled did something the previous books didn’t. David Dorse narrates this book, and this was my introduction to his narration. To be honest as the book started, I was put off by his voice, until I realized his narration was doing something none of the others had done. I saw Dick Moonlight’s face, as I listened to this book, I had visions of a young Stacey Keach being snarky and smiling as he played Moonlight in my own personal movie. If you are familiar with the Moonlight stories, this one has all the classic elements of a Moonlight story. Flawed main characters, plenty of snark, some serious adult relations, and a case that refuses to allow the reader to fully predict what comes next. Once again, I was thoroughly entertained by a Dick Moonlight story, and with the introduction of Steve Jobz I’m now looking forward to listening to all the Jobz stories after completing the next seven Moonlight stories in my library.
