De: Brian Parker

Narrado por: Daniel Penz

Just when his life seemed to be getting back on track, Detective Zach Forrest finds himself in the midst of a whirlwind of treachery, lies, and mayhem that threatens to unravel the delicate balance of power in Easytown.

Everything comes crashing down on Forrest when a rampaging cyborg attacks him, disrupting his investigation into the death of a lowly thumper club doorman who knew too much. Before he can determine his next move, a beautiful, mysterious evidence clerk lands on his doorstep, forcing her way into his life despite the NOPD's rules against fraternization.

Meanwhile, to combat the rapidly increasing number of cybernetically enhanced criminals, the police chief assigns him the difficult task of tracking down and stopping the street doctors who build the abominations at any cost.

But, will it cost Zach more than he'd expected?

overall amazing would read over and over again I w

I would never regret buying this at all it was a Georgia listen to S where the first and second book

The future has arrived...

West End Droids & East End Dames (Easytown Novels, Book 3) by Brian Parker and narrated by Daniel Penz has a noir feel to it. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and glad I took a chance with it. If you enjoy cyberpunk, this is your typical read, or you’re looking for something new in the genre, give this book a try.

What’s it about? Zach’s job is in jeopardy and he must find those responsible while dealing with cyborgs, corruption, drugs, a deteriorating love life, brothels, and more. If you enjoy books with droids, crime, detectives, AI, and futuristic tech, this is a book for you. I enjoyed his AI partner (or sorts) the most. Sometimes I wanted a little more from certain scenes, but it is what it is. Great world building!

The narrator, Daniel Penz, did a great job! I would listen to him again.

Despite not listening the first two books in the series, I was able to jump right in and understand what was happening. Overall, it kept my interest and made me want to know more about the world/Zach’s history. I’m a bit disappointed to learn this is the last book in the series (hoping this isn’t true) as the ending leaves some things open for the possibility of more. Ended up listening to this in two sittings, but only because I had to sleep.

Parental guidance/trigger warnings: swearing (throughout), death, guns and other like weapons, prostitution, drugs, and other similar situations.

*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book!

Daniel Penz is remarkable as Zack and totally brings this detective to life.
Fantastic audio and story

Sad to see the series end

I ordered book three the very day that I finished book two. I know that was to be the last in the series and I was chopping at the bit to get back into Easytown.

This was not my favorite of the three books but it was still most excellent. Zach Forest was not as clever or on his game as much in this but it lead to a very satisfying end to the saga.

I'm going to miss Daniel Penz in my ear with his smooth, rough, and sometimes quizzical delivery as Zach Forest. He made the charm that is Zach very charming indeed.

Zack is a Police Officer that is on the case and gets himself in some trouble. I love mysteries and this us a fantastic one that grabbed me from start to finish. I hope there is more in the future this series is a fantastic listen.
