Two for the Show

By: Jonathan Stone

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Chas is a detective who doesn't stake out cheating husbands, track down missing persons, or match wits with femmes fatales. Instead of pounding the pavement, he taps a computer keyboard. He can get the goods on anyone, and it's all to make sure superstar Las Vegas mind reader Wallace the Amazing stays amazing. Thanks to Chas's steady stream of stealthy intel, Wallace's mental "magic" packs houses every night.

But when someone threatens to call the psychic showman's bluff, the sweet gig takes a sour - and sinister - turn. Who's the clean-cut couple gunning for Wallace with an arsenal of dirty tricks? Why does Wallace keep upping the ante instead of backing down? And just how much does Chas really know about his mysterious boss's life...or his own? The tangled truth - of blackmail, kidnapping, and false identities - quickly becomes the biggest case of his strange, secret career.

uuummm. I love Christopher Stone, but, well..

The first half of this is pure Stone. Intriguing, fast-paced, intelligent, and crisp use of language. The second half, and please disagree with me, is just weird. The story goes galloping along, but the philosophical musings are just a little much. Don't NOT read it. It's a lot of fun, detailed and nuanced. So, I'll still dive into his great books. Tell me what you think.

Not what I thought it would be

I thought I was going to listen to more of a crime or real detective type story but that was not the case. I think the book was OK I was just disappointed that it wasn't what I expected

Deceptively Spun Mystery

Mystery takes you on an amazing ride by the Amazing Wallace and of course by Jonathan Stone. Great book made better by letting R C Bray stretching his considerable literary wings. Simply fantastic . RC you are the best, Cheers

Not even RC Bray could make this exciting

I really had to struggle to get through this at several points. Not an intriguing story. It felt like the author had to keep saving himself from his story.

Ethics 101 over and over and over again

You know I like when an author has a message, but what I don't like is when said author thinks his readers are too stupid to pickup on the message so he or she feels motivated to beat you over the head with it for at least 10 of the 24 chapters in the book.
When the author was relating the actual story this book was interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable but when the author felt like he was either called to preach or teach I was ready to figuratively pitch everything in the fireplace.
About burning a credit...not again for me. If an author wants to preach or teach, don't list the book under mysteries
