Mystery
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
Twenty years ago, a group of doctors formed a partnership to build a medical office plaza in Massachusetts. While it wasn't the most above-board deal ever made, the doctors have found continued profit and success--until now.
Someone wants the doctors dead, and he or she has already succeeded in murdering two of them. The identity of the killer remains unknown. Is it a madman with a vendetta against the medical profession, a small-time bookie seeking revenge for a shady real estate deal, or a disgruntled former construction manager who was unjustly fired?
The widow of one of the slain doctors has a clue--but she's too afraid to tell the police. She hires Boston private investigator Daniel Gallagher to help track down the murderer. But as Gallagher begins to unravel the mystery, he finds himself entangled in a web of danger and political intrigue.
With the stakes growing higher, Gallagher faces a growing threat to keep him quiet before he reveals the damaging truth. But when push comes to shove, has Gallagher made a Fatal Gamble?

I'm about half way through the story and it's really grabbed me. The dimensions given to Gallagher make him a real person, and the way the character thinks is easy to relate to. The one downside that I have is the narration. The author speaks clearly, and is easy to understand, so there is no REAL issue, just more of a preference. I would like to see the reader of novel have better voice acting, and to read with the emotions of the view point character. In this text the narrator is pretty consistent in tone and delivery, and drastically underacts, as the characters' voices are rarely delivered in a manner that complies with dialogues descriptive text. This is something that is easily overlooked, but with an audio novel, it can make all the difference. All in all, a strong novel by a good writer and storyteller, just not a great actor.By: romulus
