Who wants to kill Austin Carr? Everybody. After all, he’s a stockbroker. About to be ingeniously murdered—snatched off a private fishing yacht by a live, six-hundred-pound giant bluefin—a down-on-his-luck stockbroker recalls the events and bad choices that precipitated his gruesome end. His killer—Mr. Blabbermouth—might be any of a dozen suspects, including a steroid-crazed wrestler angry over … angry over Austin’s poor investment recommendations, a jealous sales manager often the target of Austin’s jokes, and a widow with long red hair, sexy curves, and plenty of secrets. Or could there be another suspect Austin overlooked entirely until he stepped on board that yacht?
Praise for BIG NUMBERS:
“Darkly comic, with an engaging protagonist.” —T.J. MacGregor, Edgar Award winning author of the Tango Key Mysteries
“Big Numbers is a gritty, sexy, violent, and funny book.” —Liz Clifford at Reviewed by Liz
“Wonderful characters…well-written, entertaining…a good read.” —Connie Anderson for Armchair Interviews
“Indiana Jones has his whip and Luke Skywalker has his light saber, but for Austin Carr, his full-boat grin is the weapon of choice.” —Melissa for Lou Reads
“Jack Getze started his career as a newspaper reporter. As a result, Big Numbers is lean and mean, with not a word wasted. A truly fun, genuinely funny read.” —Lisa Guidarini for Bluestalking Reader
“Served up with an edginess reminiscent of good noir, sprinkled with a salty dash of pulp fiction plot twists, and delivered in a sardonic voice that bites like the afterburner of a Herradura Gold shooter, Jack Getze hands us a new series it’s impossible to ignore.” —Susan Goodwill, author of Brigadoom

Unusual presentation of a mystery. An individual who just can’t keep from piling up troubles. The protagonist begins the story in a difficult life situation and with every subsequent attempt to improve the condition, it ends up much worse than it originally was. Kind of a world-wind story with earthy language (which is life in actuality). It ends in a flash much in the same fashion as the entire story is presented. A good change of pace.
Original book and some unpredictable twists. I enjoyed it
Not a waste of time
Too wordy, dumb
Besides a smart-mouth, sarcastic know-it-all character this book didn’t have much to offer me. It was the popcorn movie of books. The plot was obvious and the protagonist was full of himself.
Loved it. Main character is always on the verge of being terminated. Good humour.
This book was a lot of fun to read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. High interest. Kept me coming back for more!
Hard to put down.
