Local flavor

I enjoy the writing style, and being a resident of Roanoke County. It was a thrill to hear of all the local places in the stories. Keep it up.

Entertaining book

As the first book was it made me laugh and wait for what was coming next. Another amazing book, a must tead. Very entertaining and Delphi narrating.

Continues the great Listen from Book 1

Continued with the story. Very good and enjoyable listen. Jumped right to book 3. Mackenzie is terrific and a enjoyable story. Very much would listen to it again.

A good read

This is a well crafted story with a great assortment of characters.


The Narrator is able to create a wide variety of characters which makes the Book more entertaining.

Welcome back MacKenzie August!

This is the second book is this fun new series. MacKenzie is a little bit like Spenser, a little bit like Chuck Norris, and and an all around good guy trying to live a life of honor. This book, like the first is full of witty one liners and MacKenzie is a character you will root for. Plus, some of the secondary characters Mackenzie deals with are both shady and goofy enough to be part of a Carl Hiaasen book. This time, Mackenzie takes a job in part because of his feelings for Ronnie Summers, a woman he is clearly in love with, but who just may be more screwed up than a seven layer burrito from Taco Bell. She's an accomplished, bright professional with a complicated personal life and parental issues. Scott Ellis does a superb job with the narration. My fingers are crossed that Audible will give us the other books in the series and that Mr. Ellis will return to read them.
