Such a right story

From the first sentence in book 1 to the last sentence in book 3, Atticus and Mac make an amazing team. Hope there is a book four, engrossing story.

Well done!

Another great installment! The more I read, the more I live Atticus Priest. Keep them coming, Mr. Dawson!

Superb story and storytelling

The entire Atticus (like the book) Priest series-so far-is unputdownable. I fully enjoyed all aspects and appreciate the main character is Nero-diverse and rather than seeing as a “disability” he views seeing the world differently than everyone else as a gift.
Also appreciate the audible app provides the speed selector as narrator fairly fled through the text with a driving urgency I found unsettling. It’s not Simon, it’s me. and I wanted to savor the stories a bit more so .90 suited. You have my recommendation to invest in all three books! Looking forward to additional installments in this series.

Another Great Showing!

The third installment in the Atticus Priest series doesn't disappoint and leaves the reader wanting more, as usual! Atticus, Mac and Bandit are on top form and, hopefully, the introduction of young policewoman, Francine, is just the beginning of her story!

Another great story

I’m really enjoying this series. Well written with interesting characters and plots. This is another terrific story and we learn a bit more about the characters. Very satisfying. While not giving it away, I loved the last few lines of the book - just wonderful.

Great narrator in Simon Vance. Always know which characters are talking and tone is always good for the scene. While it should go without saying that word pronunciation was perfect, it often doesn’t, so I appreciate Simon Vance’s mastery of English!

Earned Top 3 of my Favorite Authors & Narrators!

I was engrossed in all three books from beginning to end! The only thing I’m disappointed about is that there aren’t more for me to binge yet. I’m definitely going to follow Mark Dawson, and hope he writes more of the series moving forward. Simon Vance is a Master Narrator. I could listen to him morning until night. Congratulations to both of you for creating a fantastic mystery series

What an action packed story!

I am ready for the next one! These books get better with each new plot twist! Atticus is such a quirky but masterful detective. He and Mack make a great team

Atticus back at it!

The third book to the series was great! Narrator did amazing! The story was quick, to the point and kept you wanting to know more! Great author! Love this series!

Love it! Love this duo!

Great storyline as always. Kept me guessing the entire time! I love the continuance of their relationship! The plot continues to thicken.

I Liked It

I enjoyed the book and the characters. The story was convoluted enough that I will need to reread it when the next in the series comes out. Overall this has been a good strong series.
