The White Ghost

A Billy Boyle World War II Mystery

De: James R. Benn

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

The 10th book in James R. Benn's Billy Boyle WWII mystery series, normally set against a backdrop of WWII Europe, moves us to a flashback in the Pacific.

It's 1943: Amid the bitter, violent Solomon Islands campaign, Billy is assigned the murder investigation of a native coastwatcher whom future president Jack Kennedy discovered on a nearby island with his head bashed in. As the body count climbs, Billy must figure out whether Jack is a cold-blooded killer, even as war rages around him.

A fan-favorite series with built-in readership of historical fiction fans and military history buffs, by one of Soho Crime's best-selling authors.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Spirited wartime storytelling." ( The New York Times Book Review)

"A fast-paced saga set in a period when the fate of civilization still hangs in the balance." ( The Wall Street Journal)

"Consistently entertaining." ( WWII Magazine)

A good story, however...

Mr Benn loses one star for his frequent use of profane expletives. Such language adds nothing to the story. Would Mr Benn appreciate it if people asked him to damn everything? Would it not hurt him to have people use his name as a curse? 😕

Billy Boyle in the Pacific Theatre

I love James R. Benn's blending of historical events w/fictional characters like Billy and Kaz to bring some light to WWII. The horror and inhumanity is explored. JFK and the Kennedy clan are an integral part of The White Ghost. Benn does a masterful job of bringing Billy's Boston life to the Pacific.

interesting story with lots of historical referen

people forget how many historical politicians fought in World war II. so many more average Americans were veterans of foreign service then now. a good story once again the audio performance was okay the performer still has a hard time with carrying this Billy Boyle especially the Irish side

As always

Pretty much every book in the series is excellent, and this was actually a step up. Going to the South Pacific was a great choice. I can't wait for the next installment.
Thank you, Mr. Benn.

Another Great Billy Boyle Mystery

James R. Benn just seems to be getting better with this character. The change in setting to the Pacific theater of operations was a brilliant and well developed idea. The narration of Peter Berkrot was exceptional. Overall, the only disappointment is that I now must wait for the next installment of Billy Boyle.
