Publisher's summary

Mila Voss is dead. That’s what the team hired to terminate her had reported, and that’s how her file had been marked. Dead. Six years now. So why did she suddenly show up on a hotel’s security camera in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania? Those who’d paid for her elimination are more than a little curious.

One person should know what happened—Jonathan Quinn, one of the best cleaners in the business, the man who’d been tasked with the disposal of her body. Only Quinn isn’t exactly easy to get ahold of these days, and he may not be willing to share the answer.

Another great Quinn Novel

I absolutely love every book in the Quinn series so far. I am excited to drive to work and hope every day thanks to them.

Scott Brick crushed it!

Scott Brick is the best of the best. when he switches characters you know, his little voice variations are awesome and the accents are great.

Great read and narration..


Love Jonathan Quinn!!! He’s always cleaning up someone, or killing someone, depends on the day, I guess. This was about Mila Voss, who was supposed to be killed years ago and Quinn was supposed to take care of the body, but it didn’t work out that way. She came back into the public eye and the killing came back into the forefront once again. There were so many twists and turns in this story you really had to keep track of who was doing what to whom.

It’s always such a treat reading about Quinn, Nate, Orlando and Daeng.

No sex and the F-bomb was used 6 times.

As to the narration: Not so good at the female’s voices but since there’s not but a woman or two in any of Jonathan Quinn’s books, it’s okay by me. He does a fantastic job of all the different voices of the men.

Excellent! Both Story & Performance

Scott Brick has won me over... His voices simply work and don't get in way of the story itself.

Another good story in the Quinn franchise, quite enjoyable, with a particularly satisfying conclusion. No, I'm not going to spoil it!

Battles does it again!!!

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

Absolutely! A novel that keeps you reading, want to keep reading until the end.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes! Needed to understand what his reasoning was to lead him to such a decision.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I enjoy his reading of this series. I'm able to read each book in the series and I know that that the characters will sound the same as the previous one.

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

There were many. Some more so than others. That's what makes his novels worth listening to.

Any additional comments?

The characters are well developed. The action keeps you wanting to read more.

Another great Johnathon Quinn "cleaner" story

After the the #4 novel in the Johnathan Quinn series I wondered where Brett Battles could go next. Not to worry. Battles has Quinn's sidekick Nate take up the slack until Quinn can recover from his loss of anonymity and get back on the case.

I don't consider #4.1 to be next. Too bad Battles didn't begin the series with that novel "Becoming Quinn."

To my pleasant surprise, Battles brings back Peter and a lot of the story line is flash back to a case that Quinn had hoped would never come up again. As with all the Quinn novels, Battles takes you right up to the last few minutes wondering how Quinn is going to come out on top.

I only gave Scott Brick a 4 for his narration since I feel he failed to create the sense of excitement that these Quinn novels produce. At least they are exciting to me.

I only spend one hour a day listening to Audible books (my only source of audio books) and I find myself really looking forward to listening to the Quinn novels and dreading the "The End" of each one.

If you haven't listened to any of novels in the series, begin with either #4.1 or #1 and try not to rush through them faster than Battles can write them.

Incredible intrigue and friendships

This story was incredible! Twists and turns; told in a flashback way that at times seemed confusing but it all came together in the end. The luck and skills of these special agents, the voices; the narrator was incredible as well. French and other languages were no problem for Scott Brick.
I listen in the car and doing chores around the house and I had no trouble remembering what had happened.
The feelings and emotions and the utter frustration came through time and time again.
A book I will not soon forget.
