Angus King

I listened to book 2 in this series because of the narrator. He is a rock star. But the story? Not So Much...Flat, one dimensional characters and a plot that was barely developed. Another 100 pages and this could have been a compelling story. And I have listened to short stories that delivered more punch. After the second book I still know almost nothing about DCI McNeill.
I'll stick with JD Kirk and DCI Logan.

Harry and Alex book 2

Not as good as the first book in the series but still great listening to.

I love this book .

Great book. I love the chemistry of the team and humor between Harry and Alex. Angus King always does a great job into bringing a book alive. Where is the rest of the series. Plz put all on audible.

Sins

Good storyline they are short but well written and enjoyable. Narration again was spot on.

Good second book

Just when I knew who-done-it I was surprised by an interesting twist. More than once. Great story. Great narration.
