Two murders. One detective. Half a brain.
New York City, 1931: Detective Vic Boyo may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but that doesn't stop him from solving cases as only he can. With a little luck and a whole lot of gumption, Boyo sets out to find the murderer of a local cop. Problem is, Boyo's more interested in a gorgeous femme fatale accused of killing her husband. She's destined for the electric chair, but Boyo's got a hunch she might be innocent. And nobody gets in the way of Boyo's hunches, not even Vic Boyo himself.

The story was really good, the clues made sense and the action was intense.
the main character Victor Boyo is a socially awkward police detective who operates almost like a PI. Being socially awkward myself, I can relate to Victor, being awkward does not make one a doofus. which is probably why I didn't find the humor very funny.
The novel plays into the genre tropes fro. the 1920s detective dime novels. I loved this aspect, and anyone who has ever enjoyed Sam Spade or Dick Tracy will find something to like about this quirky homage to the genre.
Douglas Reed is a great narrator with a good sense of timing. He also provides a variety of voices for the large cast of characters.
If you aren't familiar with the teams of the time period here are some words you should know:
blower = phone
heater, rod and piece all = gun
A trope aware noire

I wasn’t able to finish it. I think it was a combination of the story itself and the narrator, who added nothing to it. Let me start with the story. This was a genre that I don’t tend to listen to, no real reason why, but I had wanted to try something different. So, please keep that in mind when taking note of my less than stellar review. I was bored. The story just dragged on and on, in my opinion, and I was left waiting for something to happen.
When I come across “narrators” like the gentleman for this audiobook, and I use that term loosely, I always hope that this is their first audiobook. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. Needless to say, I never understand how someone decides to become a narrator when they have no skills. Have they never listened to an audiobook before? At least by someone who’s good at narrating? For example, the narrator changed his voice a single time with Joey, at least that I noticed, otherwise, his voice was the exact same for every other character as well as the narrative. There was no emotion in his voice at all besides boredom! When Vic got shot in the leg, the narrator continued to talk as though nothing had happened. He sounded bored while reading, and by reading, I mean he literally just rest the story, something I could have done myself with the bonus of imagining the characters with different voices. There were times when he’d randomly speed up his talking and not bother pausing between sentences.
Overall, I wouldn’t bother with this narrator again, but I would give the author another chance.
I received a free audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.
Not a fan.
