Reunion

Dwayne Morrow Mysteries, Book 1

De: Darin Miller

Narrado por: Joshua Kachnycz

Reunions are for reconnecting with old friends…and sometimes burying a few. For Dwayne Morrow, this is where it all begins.

An invitation to his high school reunion prompts Dwayne Morrow to return to his small-town roots to reconnect with friends he hasn’t seen in fifteen years. Before the festivities can even begin, his best friend is found murdered in his car, and the local police show little interest in pursuing the case.

A mother’s plea pulls Dwayne into a tangled web of dangerous secrets and shady characters. Old friends and new acquaintances ensure that Dwayne’s life will never be the same again.

Reunion is the first novel in the Dwayne Morrow Mystery series.

Expert narration! Gripping story!

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time listening to Reunion. The narration and voices done for all the different characters were so specific and well done. This audiobook had me saying… “Well, just one more chapter…” over and over and over again. I had a blast trying to solve this crime along with Dwayne, and I’m excited to listen to the next! I hope this author and narrator continue to team up!

Very well read

Great narrator! I loved the way he could switch characters. I would listen to more books with this narrator.

Good, engaging listen

This was a good book start to finish. The story was engaging with interesting characters. Had humor and danger to it.

What didn’t make too much sense was the timeline. The decades didn’t coincide. The characters have been graduated for 15 years and are in their thirties. Seems like present times due to the presence of cellphones, the cloud, and e-cigarettes. Yet, the music played at the 15th reunion was very 80’s…when they graduated high school, camcorders were relatively new and very expensive, and cameras with film were still being used in the present time. It hurt my brain just a little trying to make it all fit, ha!

The narrator did a great job bringing the book to life. Am curious as to the rest of the books in the series.

Who doesn't love a bumbling newbie PI?

I absolutely LOVED hearing Josh bring Dwayne Morrow to life in this audiobook! I originally read the book ages ago, so when I saw it was an audiobook, I grabbed it, knowing it would be so fun to hear Dwayne Morrow 'in the flesh.' I was correct, as Mr. Kachnycz knocked it out of the park! I can't wait for the rest!

Reunion by Darin Miller was an unexpected gem! When you first meet Dwayne Morrow, he strikes you as the kind of guy who gets through life by doing just enough to get by and being happy with that until he’s invited to his 15-year class reunion and decides to attend. When he calls to make his RSVP, he learns his best friend in high school has just been killed, and the murderer is at large.

Richard ‘Dwayne’ returns to his hometown in Ohio, a mere two hours away, to stay at his parent’s house so he can attend the funeral of his buddy Ryan and check in with the reunion committee. He doesn’t expect Ryan’s mom to ask him to investigate the murder. Dwayne? Investigate a murder? He’s an IT guy, not a PI. Sarah won’t take no for an answer, so Dwayne begins a bumbling investigation that doesn’t get him far until he connects with Ryan’s widow and begins to learn who Ryan has become in the last fifteen years.

Dwayne has some missteps, stepped on some land mines, and makes unexpected connections as he tries to figure out why killed Ryan and why. The dialogue was witty and thoughtful and made you feel like you were there with Dwayne and Melanie as they tried to figure out heads or tails of Ryan’s secret life. There were plenty of ah-ha moments and surprise revelations, and through it all, you learn who Dwayne Morrow is and what truly motivates him in life.

If you’re looking for a well-developed whodunnit with characters you can’t help but like, you want to start The Dwayne Morrow mystery series today! I’ve already cracked the spine on book two! You can count on Mr. Miller to keep you entertained and your mind occupied as you journey with Dwayne through his past as he looks to his future.

Keeps you wondering what is going to happen next

Reunion was fantastic! Kept we interested in each chapter and who was going to have something happen to them.
