Story
Across the bottom of the screen the ticker tape announced in large black letters 'Governor Reynolds Murdered'. Apparently his body had been discovered earlier that morning, lying in his garage. He had been shot twice. One shot to the upper chest, the other hitting his shoulder. 'Police believe that the weapon used was a 38 revolver,' the reporter said. Kendall froze. Anthony Shaw had also been killed by a 38 calibre bullet. Kendall was not quite sure of what it all meant. What connection was there between Anthony Shaw, and the State Governor, and the business mogul, Ian Duncan. And what about Senator Mackenzie? Where did he fit in? And who or what was Latimer?

Deputy Sheriff, Quincey Morris, thought the low point of his week was the twilight shootout between Albuquerque's rival drug gangs, but he was wrong. All of Quincey's training could not prepare him for the confrontation with the vengeful Morgan Stregocia. She has devoted herself to hunting down the descendants of Van Helsing's original "vampire slayers" who destroyed the legendary Dracula more than a century ago.

An exciting new Amish-meets-Wild West adventure from bestselling authors Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith weaves an entertaining and romantic tale for devoted fans and new readers. Kansas,1881--On a trip to visit relatives, Emma Switzer's Amish family is robbed of all their possessions, leaving them destitute and stranded on the prairie. Walking into the nearest trading settlement, they pray to the Lord for someone to help. When a man lands in the dust at her feet, Emma looks down at him and thinks, The Lord might have cleaned him up first. Luke Carson, heading up his first cattle drive, is not planning on being the answer to anyone's prayers, but it looks as though God has something else in mind for this kind and gentle man. Plain and rugged--do the two mix? And what happens when a dedicated Amish woman and a stubborn trail boss prove to be each other's match?

Twenty ships have left the gravitational field of the Earth with the intention of colonizing Mars. Each is independent of the other and set to become domed cities upon landing. The mission is simple: go forth to develop the new planet, make it an extension of our home. Well, it sounded simple. No one expected life on Mars to be easy, they are pioneers and that is a type of life that comes with dangers. What they didn't expect was for the settings of one of the ships to be off enough to miss their landing, to miss the very planet they were meant to settle.

Publisher's summary
The name's Daniels, Jack Daniels - just like the whiskey you know. I'm a private detective. And I can't help butting my nose into other people's business. It's what I do. You get used to it. It becomes a way of life almost. After a while it comes natural to you, automatic, like breathing, or eating, although not quite as enjoyable. It's a habit that I just can't break. I just can't help it.
But sometimes it can lead you into trouble....

suggest you listen to the sample before buying.
John Holt The Candy Man is an old fashion detective story.
I enjoyed Jack Daniels character. I can just picture him getting court up with the beautiful woman.
There is no corse Language in it, or sex scenes. Although there is some violence it does not go into great details.
Narrator Joe Voegler reads the book as if Jack Daniels is telling the story. To me there seem some background noises. So I suggest you listen to the sample before buying.
Although I enjoyed the story line I feel the narrator lets it down. It’s a good quick story ideal to fill in that little bit of time.

Good Mystery
A good mystery although the narrator telling the tale, doesn't sound like the age he's suppose to be. He sounds more like GrampPa Jack, telling the tale to his grandkids. But the story was enjoyable and a quick listen and you enjoy the characters non-the-less .It also had a sharp wit when called for. So when you get a chance pick up a copy and enjoy.

A great detective read. The detective Jack Daniels is on the case. I love the humor and the way the Author has brought the characters to fruition. The scenes are brought out so you can picture them in your mind as you listen to the Audiobook. The Narrator done a ok job. But I loved the story. I definitely recommend this mystery read. Its the first in the series.

Loved the storyline. It was quick moving and complete. A surprise ending.
Joe was too quick in his speaking. It was understandable but it felt rushed. In addition, his speech was a bit lispy. I'm not sure if this was a vocal trait he intentionally gave to Jack Daniels or if there is another reason.

Good short story but bad narration
This was my first John Holt's book. This was a good story. The Private Detective, Jack Daniels, has a good sense of humor and his investigation was interesting. This was a short and fast pace story. Unfortunately, the narration wasn't easy to listen and the narrator's voice was much older than the Jack Daniels's 38 year old. Fortunately, I always read/listen and this was very helpful this time. In fact, I think it was better to only read this story. Hopefully, the narrator for the books 2 and 3 isn't the same. I'll definitely read and listen the next books in the Series. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Narration Hurts
The narration on this book was very difficult for me to listen to and took away so much from the book. I would have preferred reading this book compared to listening to it with Joe Voegler. The premise of Jack Daniels (name like the whiskey) finding a woman collapsed and covered in blood and not seeking police help seemed off. Yes he has lots of questions and is inquisitive being a PI, but who takes a stranger into their home under those circumstances. His questions are not fully answered, and yet the story has some great twists. I would listen to more books by this author, but unfortunately stay away from the narrator.

The Candy Man
Jack Daniels is a grouchy, seen-too-much kind of guy who still has a big, if somewhat battered, heart. I could hear him narrating as I read about him rescuing a damsel in distress, even when he knows he’s getting himself into trouble.

So short and still John Holt was able to create an amazing story, I’m truly amazed.
Coupled with the narration by Joe Voegler who have done a good job at that made this audiobook truly enjoyable.
Fully recommended for all !!!

Couldn't get used to the narration
Sometimes a narrator just doesn't work for me, and the problem is mine, not his. I may have enjoyed this more from a different narrator but found instead that I paid too much attention to the delivery of the story rather than the story itself.

Great Story.
This is a really good novella, it's fast paced with action from the start page to the very last. Jack Daniels is a believable character brought to life by the narration of Joe Voegler who I agree with others does speak rather quickly sometimes but to me he was Jack Daniels. The storyline is good and believable and doesn't get too bogged down with unnecessary detail, A highly readable book which I guess I shall revisit when I next need a quick read. At just under 1 hour 40 minutes it's ideal for a journey. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed it
This is not my usual genre but I wanted to try something different.
I cant believe how much I enjoyed it - I was very sceptical. Other people have mentioned re the narrator, i personally loved it I imagined myself sitting by a fire listening to a story being told and I just wanted it to continue. It was just so melodic.
The writing was very good. It drew me in, I especially loved the descriptions of the food and meals. I just had to know what happened next. I am looking forward to the next listen.
So to sum it up, not my normal listen but so glad I got out of my comfort zone.
I was given this free in return for an honest review which is what I have done.

I like this book, just wished it had a British narrator, and the main characters were a little older, he just seems a little thick for his age, when talking about using the internet and other tec or daily life issues.

Good story, poor narration
When I first saw Jack Daniels, P.I. I couldn't help thinking of J.A.Konrath's Lieutenant Jacqueline 'Jack' Daniels series, of which I've read several. This is nothing like those books.
The story is good and entertaining, though the stle made me think of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, as if the character is talking to the audience, or retelling the tale over a bar. The characters were nicely written and the plot moved along well and kept me interested.
Sadly the narration really let the book down with Joe Voegler's drawling monotone having very little life and seeming as though he was in a rush to get the words out, often running one sentence into another without a breath between. Very hard to listen to and it let book down in my opinion.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.

It's just another day at the office for book editor Samantha Clair. Checking jacket copy for howlers, wondering how to break it to her star novelist that her latest effort is utterly unpublishable, lunch scheduled with gossipy author Kit Lowell, whose new book will deliciously dish the dirt on the fashion industry. But little does she know how much trouble Kit's book is about to be. Before it even goes to print.
