A Gripping Noir Mob Thriller

FIRST DIG A HOLE… When hired killer, Knucks, returns to his burial site with a fresh kill, he finds a mysterious body occupying the hole he left empty. Packing several guns and a lot of bullets, he goes looking for answers.

The mafia is moving into new territory and puts a samurai-sword-wielding assassin on Knucks, along with their most brutal mob soldiers. Before the night’s over, a lot more holes will be dug.

Two Bodies One Grave was my introduction to both authors and the Bullet Books Speed Read series. I got the book as a free purchase on Amazon so I figured why not, the title sounded interesting, and I’ve been reading some Noir crime stories lately so hey what could it hurt. I added the virtual voice audiobook and settled in to listen to the story.

The story had plenty of action, some interesting characters, however there were times Knucks seemed a bit dense for a hit man. Overall, it was entertaining and was as advertised a speed read. In reviewing my library, I have a few more books in this series, acquired through free amazon promotions, so I will be checking them out when I need a quick read to fill some inactive time. I won’t be adding virtual voice audiobooks to the rest of the stories in this series.

Virtual voice in some instances is not too bad, however when you have a variety of characters of different genders, several of whom should have pronounced accents it really wasn’t as effective as it might have been.
