It’s been nine years since Quinn last worked with Mariko. That fateful job left him with a permanent sense of guilt, and her with a life forever changed. Now, their paths have crossed again. Not in a way Quinn would have hoped for, but at least in one that might allow him to make partial amends.

To accomplish this, he will have to risk his career by ignoring the strict orders he’s been given.

But a cleaner’s got to do what a cleaner’s got to do.

Not Sure of the Purpose of the Last Chapter

The last Quinn book was released in December 2020, so I'll have to wait until the next book to see if there was a reason for the last chapter in this book. I thought the last chapter was an odd way to end this book.

There is one main story around Mariko trying to find her sister, Keiko, and a shorter story that is centered around The Office being put on suspension. The shorter story ties to the last chapter of the book but I'm not sure why the shorter story was included. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the book and the only thing it explains is why the Office has been suspended which could have been done with a simple statement.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next book whenever it is published.

brett battles is constantly amazing!

I love these series. he always leaves a teaser but finishes each story. how he writes all these books at such a high volume and quality is beyond me!

love this series

brett does not disappoint. it is impossible not to get caught up in the action. be aware that if you are listening to this series at night it is hard to put down. i have stayed up much too late listening. scott bricks narration is also spot on.

Brick over dramatic narration AGAIN

At Chapter 10 and ready to stop listening. Scott Brick's aggressive delivery of brilliant Battles' novels is turning me off listening. Battles' novels are not the only Brick narrated novels that are sounding identically the same. It's as if it has become a chore just to be churned out without "becoming" each character individually. Perhaps it's me, but it's incredibly disappointing to enjoy a storyline only to be turned off by the narration. I had eagerly waited for this latest Quinn adventure.

Love this series..

I was reading one book then stopped to read this one! I can't pass on a Jonathan Quinn book before I have to pass on everything else and get to it.

As usual, it was great! I absolutely love Quinn, Orlando, Nate, Jar, Daeng and Misty. What a wonderful team.

This was about a physicist that was kidnapped 9 years ago and the sister who never gave up on finding her. AND then it became a fabulous rescue.

There was no romance, just a couple of I Love You's between Quinn and Orlando. And there was no swearing to speak of.

As for the narration: As always, Scott Brick was awesome BUT his women's voices are just a little to masculine. Still, he's the best. Especially when he reads the Orphan X series.

Worth the wait?

The performance was perfect as always. Interesting storyline, however, the ending left me wanting for more. Why did the first mission fail? What was the mirage project working on. Can’t wait for the next Jonathan Quinn book.

Great Quinn Story!

This story was an exceptional tale for Quinn and his team, overcoming a group of truly evil business men! Well structured, nicely paced and a good outcome to end the story! Battles wrote a great book. Scott Brick was wonderful in reading the book and giving life to each character. Highly recommend for an outstanding listen!

MY LEAST FAVORITE IN THIS SERIES!

First and foremost, I absolutely love the Brett Battles/Scott Brick combo. It can't be beat IMO. With that being said, however, I'm disappointed in this story. I'm like everyone else...I want this to be an escape from the world we live in and with the inclusion of the negatives of the pandemic, it was a downer. I've listened to the entire Jonathan Quinn series and have truly enjoyed it throughout. I found myself a little lost at times in this story and I'm not sure if it was due to too many characters or the fact that there was a little too many details. But as usual, I love all the basic characters of the Quinn team. Just to be fair, I'm going to take a break and then go back and listen to this story again (which is something I rarely, if ever, do). But let it be known...NO ONE beats the narrator skills of Scott Brick. So as a bottom line on this review, you should listen to this story and then be your own judge. There are so many mixed reviews out there.

Brett and Brick

The best writer narrator match made in Audible Heaven .

Thanks very much to each of you.

Fantastic Series and Narration.

Jonathan Quinn is back.

I am such a fan of this series and all the characters.

Always something going on, never a dull moment. The story line and plot was great. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I know there have been 15 books so far but still!!! Need more.

The narration is fantastic. It's Scott Brick one of my favs! He has such a great voice for all the characters and his reading voice is awesome!

Totally recommend this series 10000%
