Publisher's summary
Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial are both investigating high-profile murders in Las Vegas. A celebrity is assassinated during a fling with a prostitute, and a young boy is killed in a brutal hit-and-run incident. When the cases converge, Jonathan and Serena find themselves racing the clock against a determined serial killer and searching for a connection to the unsolved murder of a showgirl years earlier.
Freeman's vivid cast of characters exposes all of Las Vegas' dirty secrets, past and present. And in a rooftop showdown amid the ruins of a 1960s-era casino, the chase comes to a stunning climax.
Like the author's Immoral, Stripped pushes the emotional and sexual limits of its heroes and keeps the listener riveted until the last shocking plot twist.

Vegas Setting Makes This One Work
I'll make 3 points about this book that shoud explai why I enjoyed it and you should too.
First is the remarkable set of characters. John Stride is a native Minnesotan. A simple man, accepting of others and has a great depth of character about him. This is in stark contrast with the glitter and shallowness of Vegas. His partner is transexual, wealthy, and a terrific cop on a force hellbent to destroy her. His girlfriend is also a cop. She escaped a sexually abusive stepfather at 16 and made her way to Vegas. She's street wise, but also smart and driven. So you have 3 distinct detectives, intimately involved with each other, yet from vastly different backgrounds.
Second, the story is riveting. The mystery and suspense kept me interested and surprised me.
Third is it is narrated by Joe Barrett, one of the best in the business.

Great Addition To The Series
Stripped takes place largely in Las Vegas, not Duluth, the setting for the first novel involving policeman Jonathan Stride. As such, you can expect more sex, people behaving badly, and moral depravity than in the first book, and you won't be disappointed. Stripped involves a series of recent deaths, one quite heart breaking, which are possibly linked back to the unsolved murder of an exotic dancer back in the 1950's. Setting the plot up this way gives the author Freeman lots of ways to do contrast and compares between the Vegas of old and the new Vegas. Just to make the point clear, the building where the murder occurred is about to be demolished to make room for a new project, and that demolition is key to the resolution of the novel.
I've commented before that Freeman plays well above his pay grade both in plotting and characterisation. The plotting in this book is a bit less subtle than Immoral, his first book in the series, but his characterisations are even better. I especially liked his portray of Stride's partner, a man who has gone through gender changing surgery to be come a woman. In most writer's hands, this would be a mess. Freeman handles it with dignity and brings out real sympathy for a character with such a divided identity. Of course, it turns out that when we get to the real villain, the uncaught murderer from the first crime, there are some identity challenges as well.
Stripped stands out in the series for its Las Vegas locale. It's a nice diversion, but I was glad to see the series move back to Duluth at the end of this book.
Joe Barrett was fantastic with the delivery of the story
Highly recommended.

Bumbling Geniuses? Hmmmm....
To build tension and distress, Brian Freeman asks us to believe that his cops are sort of dim bulb-ish. Well okay, most of us are and it’s charming to have detectives that are like you and me. Problem is, they wind up solving a multi dimensional criminal plot here that’s buried in a half century of Vegas bloody cover-up. Well, okay… it’s an intriguing puzzle and sort of ingenious. It's the kind of plotting that many of us read these things to enjoy. Yet it’s hard to suspend disbelief when these people who are perilous serial blunderers flash the penetrating deductive insight of Goren and Eames from Law and Order’s Criminal Intent.
But… but… the real talent of Brian Freeman is his dissection of human commitment, promise, loyalty, gender, freedom, lust, and love. Freeman doesn’t judge, he shows. That theme is what will make me download the continuing growth of Detective Jonathan Stride. I want to know what happens next in this guy’s struggles to bring meaning to his life and the ensemble cast he moves among.
I’m glad I started with the first in this series, “Immoral”, and almost demand that you do to. This isn’t a novel; it’s an installment in an epic tale of this guy’s life. Oh yeah, Joe Barrett is exactly the actor to bring this all together. Uh-huh, you might complain about his female voices, but whuddahell… get over it. Barrett sings the music of Stride’s life.

Transvestite coo.
This book was a waste of my credits. It’s about a transvestite cop and there’s a bunch of weird sex writing and not good sex creepy stuff!

A good story line..plus.. Vegas
Would you consider the audio edition of Stripped to be better than the print version?
I always purchase the unabridged version, so I am assuming there is no difference.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The plot was good, I found myself listening to it on headphones when I was unable to use the radio speakers, I would find reasons to listen.
What about Joe Barrett’s performance did you like?
The way he brought each character to life, when I am able to know who is speaking without having to be told who said what, then that is a good performance. The pauses and inflections in speech patterns, along with that Minnesota accent...yeah you betcha.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions, there were parts that made me laugh, great one liners and some good old fashion wise cracks.
Any additional comments?
Very enjoyable, there were times I found myself not wanting to turn it off, which is exactly why I listen.

Ugh, this book is so bad
Don't get me wrong, I like the Jonathan Stride character, but this book was so bad. I guess if you are into romance novels you might like this. There's just way too much cheesy titillation in this. There were times when I wanted to barf or just skip ahead to get past the silly sex scenes. I have moved on to the next book and so far it's much better.

Great Atmosphere
I loved this book and am eagerly looking forward to his other books. Brian does a great job of conveying what it's like to live in Duluth (where I lived for 4 years). It's also a great mystery story, with some twists that I didn't see coming, even up to the very end. It's a really fun ride to get from the beginning of the book to the end.

Top Notch Listening
This is the 3rd book by Brian Freeman and I have read the previous two as well. Each one of them is a terrific listen. Freeman not only spins a great mystery with lots of action and a thrill a minute but also has a great way with words. Its like he carefully considers each word's impact before using it in his story. He has plenty of twists and turns, surprises and convolutions to keep me not only interested but on the edge of my seat. I have had his last two books for 5 days and have listened to them both hardly laying down my player for a moment. I love his main characters, their humor,interaction, friendship and their "lives" are fascinating in themselves. If you like fast action, detective stories, with plenty of action, sex and drama you can do no better than this author and his books. Do not hesitate to get them and listen to them you will not be sorry. My wife who isn't into audio books turned me on to Freeman after she read his first novel and now has read all three of them too and loves them! Whatcha waiting for?
Additionally, Joe Barrett, who narrates these books makes the character and story come to life in a big way. He has distinguishing voices and tones even regional accents for each character. The main character Lt. Stride, was born and raised in Minnesota - he has the "Norwegian flavored" accent down pat for him. The books are made ten times better by this actor! Barrett has assumed the mantel of my favorite narrator from Guidall whom I love very much.

Beyond soft porn
The storyline was interesting and I finished the book but still feel dirty. Should have known it wouldn't get better after the first graphic description of lubrication and blow jobs. I'm embarrassed to have read further and thought the next reader should be warned before beginning. The narrator did a good job with what he had to work with.

Ducks out of water but succeeding
I read Freeman's books because they take place in Minnesota. This one didn't and I was a little disappointed but I love Stride so I kept listening. The story was okay and the mystery intriguing. I didn't care much for the ending but the book was entertaining and the ending won't keep me from reading all of Freeman's books.
"The Bone House" is still my favorite but each of Freeman's books leaves me satisfied and feeling as though I possess time well-spent.
Mr. Barrett was at the top of his game. He made the story come alive and at times I forgot that I was listening and not part of the story.

Good but not as good as "Immoral"
Would liked to have given this review 4.5, but settled for 4. It picks up Stride and Serena's characters shortly after the previous book Immoral, and whilst you don't have to read that book to enjoy Stripped, as I would recommend that you do. Although a good story I don't think that it was good as Immoral, as it lacks the number of twists and turns of that story. However it is still a very good listen, and very well read. I hope that Audible publish more in the series

Stripped, but not of passion.
Having read his first novel, I was interested to hear what was on offer in this, his second offering.
Well, I was enthralled. Often, I listen to audible recordings walking the dog, whilst listening to this tale the dog often came back panting and needing water. So did I!
It was the type of book that kept you thinking who was exactly involved, and, when the final reality hits you, wow, you did not really expect an ending of that calibre.

sadly in the wrong section
this book should be on the lbgtq section. audible is less interested in having books properly compartmentalised than pushing the agenda that trans is the norm and the author hopped right onto that money spinner.

MUCH ADO...
Well it did go on a bit 13hrs+..and not in a good way..standard cop procedural with a twist.
We had the usual troubled individuals but so many it was hard to keep track.
We also had a cop in 'transition' and the usual plethora of male rapists killers and psychopaths.
The last third of the book was spent detailing a lesbian tryst between two of the main protagonists which I think must have been cut & pasted from a Mills & Boon novel.
The book was way too long and SLOW..the narrator just about saved it for me but even he grated towards the end.
I won't be rushing back for number three.

Excellent narration, gripping story
I loved this. The story was fast paced with enough twists and turns as well as suspense to keep me up well past when I should have been asleep listening. The narrator was excellent.

A bit weird
The topics of transsexuals, child abuse, sexual abuse, sexuality etc are addressed in a very bizarre way - a pre-op Trans woman who named herself Amanda as a pun while also being sensitive to the fact she has been treated poorly for previously identifying as a man? Who won a payout for harassment from the police but continues to sexually harass her coworkers? A woman being coerced into cheating on her partner by another woman while also suffering from childhood abuse?
A lot of this is hard to listen to and I’m struggling to finish it even if the rest of the plot is interesting

This brief history of the Las Vegas Strip presents every casino hotel built along Las Vegas Boulevard South, the most celebrated and most visited stretch of asphalt on Earth, starting in 1941 with the El Rancho Vegas.
