Murder and Mayhem

By: Rhys Ford

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

Length: 7 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

Dead women tell no tales.

Former cat burglar Rook Stevens stole many a priceless thing in the past, but he's never been accused of taking a life - until now. It was one thing to find a former associate inside Potter's Field, his pop culture memorabilia shop, but quite another to stumble across her dead body.

Detective Dante Montoya thought he'd never see Rook Stevens again - not after his former partner falsified evidence to entrap the jewelry thief and Stevens walked off scot-free. So when he tackled a fleeing murder suspect, Dante was shocked to discover the blood-covered man was none other than the thief he'd fought to put in prison and who still makes his blood sing.

Rook is determined to shake loose the murder charge against him, even if it means putting distance between him and the rugged Cuban-Mexican detective who brought him down. If one dead con artist wasn't bad enough, others soon follow, and as the bodies pile up around Rook's feet, he's forced to reach out to the last man he'd expect to believe in his innocence - and the only man who's ever gotten under Rook's skin.

loved it!!!!!

another great story from rhys ford. cant wait to read the next book. thank you

Shorter story but great characters

Rhys always writes in interesting characters. she doesn't disappoint here. The tale of a legendary thief falling for the cop who is tailing him is fun and we'll read as usual by Greg Tremblay.

Rhys Ford is fabulous

Once again another great book from Mr Ford. I love love love his books. They always have great characters, gripping stories, and just simply great reads. Looking forward to the next one, hopefully, Quinn's story.

Didn't solve it

Well it had me guessing until the villain was revealed . A tight plot, nice character development, and a satisfying ending. Altogether a yummy read.

You won't be dissapointed

This is my first book by Ford, and I'm glad I took the chance, It has more than enough mystery and romance to sate the genre lover of both that I am. And the ending I definitely didn't see coming until it was revealed. Tremblay's voice it definitely a key factor with this book. Every characters voice is distinguishable from the next. Filled with laughs, romance, gasps, and mystery it's got it all.

Great

Great mystery, murder, romance.
Complicated and weird and funny.
This book has it all. And its narrated by an amazing voice.
Very enjoyable

Greg Tremblay is awesome again!!

Any additional comments?

Greg Tremblay definitely brings this murder mystery to life, creating character voices that drew me in like a siren's call. But it's the banter and humor in this that made this such a fabulous listen for me.

All of the characters (especially Hank, Mannie and Archie), the mystery, and the pacing were all really entertaining. There's quite a bit of action, and though there aren't that many sexy times, what is there is *so* good.

I loved all the pop culture references. I cracked up every time Rook brought up The Princess Bride (Dante's last name is Montoya so Rook keeps making six fingered man references LOL) and it totally goes over Dante and his partner, Hank's, heads. It was hysterical.

For those who love the whole enemies-to-lovers trope - you won't be disappointed with the romance between Dante and Rook.

"And babe, I'll hold you forever for however long you want me to. And even then, I might not let you go."

But, for me, hands down, my favorite interactions and scenes in the story were between Rook and his grandfather, Archie. Archie was such a fantastic character. He's the guy you love to hate, and hate to love.

Greg Tremblay's narration is a thing of beauty. His range of accents, emotive expertise, and wonderful pacing is hard to beat.

As long as Greg Tremblay keeps narrating, I'm definitely looking forward to more in the series!

Mystery and Romance

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads (Audiobook Review).

I absolutely loved the chemistry between Rook and Dante. Their back and forth with the love/hate thing they have going on was just great. I couldn't put the story down (or stop listening as is the case with an audiobook).

I loved that while we watched their relationship evolve, we also had this really interesting plot going on that sort of pushed the romance to the backseat at times, but that was okay because I wanted to know what was going to happen next and WHY it was all happening.

A perfect combination of mystery, romance and heat.

As usual Greg Tremblay knocked it out of the park. I loved the accent he put on Dante's parts. Just perfect. Greg always does a fantastic job and he didn't disappoint!

awesome story

I love this author and every story I read and listen to reinforces my admiration of her work. Great narrative and compelling characters. Highly recommend!

Great story/ great narration

Greg is one of my top favorite vocal performers - definitely not just reading the words on the page, he really brings the characters to life and I didn’t catch any errors, nothing interferes with the flow of the story. Rhys creates characters that are flawed but relatable and you want them to pull through and come out the other side as whole and happy as possible.
