Watson Falls

Mack Peters Mysteries, Book 1

By: Morgan St. James

Narrated by: Brad Holbrook

This is the first book in a new series.

Mack Peters is a self-made millionaire who was once a Los Angeles cop. When his friend suggested a trip to picturesque Leavenworth, Washington, she had an ulterior motive. He had no idea it would lead him to the little-known town of Watson Falls with a secret more deadly than he could ever imagine, and a search for a missing investigative reporter. What they find could cost them their lives.

Great Read! Kept me “turning the pages” of my audiobook!

This was a great read. Loved the characters and development of story. Can’t wait for a sequel!

Would be exceptional with some tweaking

I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free audio copy from the author through Librarything. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Mack Peters goes to Watson Falls to find a friend’s sister, Greta, who is a reporter. Greta went to look for her godson, Tony, and it turns out that she was undercover. She and Mack meet a couple of times while they both try to figure out what’s going on in Watson Falls. What they find is more shocking than they imagined.

The characters could have been more developed which would have made the story more suspenseful. There was a surprise at the end about two people who were interested in each other, but I had no clue. If they had shown interest in each other during the story, that would have made it more interesting.

The narrator was great. His timing and pace were perfect, and his voice is an enjoyable one to listen to.

I did like ending, and I would listen to Watson Falls again or read another Mack Peters book even though I think this could have been an outstanding book with some tweaking.

Exceptional mystery

I received this audio book in exchange for a review.
It was an exceptional mystery. The narrator was very pleasant to listen to. Will definitely be watching for more of this author’s books.
