Summary

Killer or target?

Dr. Kelly Irving knew her husband, attorney Jack Harbaugh, was acting strangely but figured they’d get through it. When she backed out of her garage that morning, she thought her car hit a bump. Instead, its progress was stopped by the body of a man her husband recently represented. Not only that, the dead man had been shot by her husband’s gun.

The police who investigated made it clear that Jack was a primary suspect. Kelly couldn’t decide if Jack was a murderer or marked as the next victim. As things continued to escalate, they were forced to put their marital differences aside and concentrate on keeping Jack alive while discovering who was behind the whole thing.

Emergency its a crime not to listen to

This was a nice easy to follow long thriller. It was quite short but still enjoyable and good if you have a few hours to fill in and hate stopping in the middle of a story.
Jack is a lawyer who gets talked, against his better judgment,in to taking on a shady client and then things go down hill from there for him and his doctor wife. What was a simple case snowballs into dead bodies, missing guns, car crashes and becoming suspects themselves. With the police questioning there every move and not sure who to trust the couple have to come together to stay a live.
The narrator was very good and the couple of hours just flew by in a blink as it was very well read .

Quick easy listen

This was a quick, easy listen. It is a murder mystery but for me both the plot and characters weren't developed enough to keep me fully interested. I'm glad I listened to the Audible version though because Bill Nevitt's narration was a joy to listen to, and I will seek out other books narrated by him.

Easy Listening

An easy to listen to mystery thriller, finished in an afternoon. Nothing too challenging but entertaining all the same, a good way to fill a few empty hours.

An intriguing story line!

I was pleased to receive a free copy from Bill Nevitt, via TBC audible, in return for a review. The story line really intrigued me. A Medical thriller, something I haven’t read for quite a few years. And with a Cristian slant. Well, this was a new experience.
How to start the day.... run over a dead man, as you reverse out of the drive, on your way to work. It starts with a bang and hardly lets up. There’s a lot packed into this novella. The first time I’ve heard Richard l Maybry’s writing or Bill Nevitt’s distinctive narration and I don’t think it’ll be the last.

Entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this cosy mystery, which was quick and entertaining. The plot line was a little predictable, but the dialogue was humorous and narration quite lively.

Quick mystery that keeps you engaged.

Attorney Jack Harbough is defending a man on a minor drug charge. When his client gives information about a gun running operation, Jack is torn between attorney-client privilege and his duty as an officer of the court. A few days later, that client shows up in Jack’s driveway...under his wife’s car...shot dead. Now Jack’s life is in danger...and possibly that of his wife. If only the police would believe Jack...after all, Jack’s gun IS the murder weapon. There is so much going on in this short book that you’re at the edge of your seat wondering what’s next? Will the bad guys succeed in killing Jack? Will the police believe that Jack is telling the truth? Will Jack’s wife stand by his side?
Enjoyable book and equally enjoyable narration.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Catch 22.

As an attorney, Jack Harbaugh is obliged to disclose information that could potentially lead to a crime, but doing so could put his life and the lives of his friends and colleagues, in danger. On the other hand, if he keeps the information to himself, he is breaking the law, yet still under threat from the thugs. What to do??
His wife is a doctor and she is growing increasingly worried about her husband's behaviour. He seems distracted, not himself, is there something she should know? Then she reverses out of her driveway and over a dead body, which brings everything to a head.

This was a novella length who-done-it, which entertained me for several hours on a flight recently. The narration, by Bill Nevitt is clear and easy to follow. I would have preferred a full novel, where I can get to know the characters a bit better, but this was still entertaining and to the point.
3.5 stars.
