I am working my way thru the Kurt Hunter Mystery series…Stevem Becker has become one of my favorite authors…so glad I found him on Bookbub/Amazon!
Everything I have read by Steven Becker has been excellent, making me to want more from him.
What an exciting, thrilling plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see who did it or even if a murder was commented. The author gives you delightful twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end and what an ending, total excitement from start to finish that holds your attention giving you an audio you won’t be able to put down.
Mr. Becker is a wonderful narrator that has no trouble pulling you in taking you a way in a wonderful adventure that the author gives. His normal voice is just a wonderful as his character, he has a wonderful reach with his tones and emotions. His male voices are wonderful, and he has improved with his female ones. I always know who is talking and what they are feeling. He really bought this story life for me, giving the danger just enough power to make my heart beat faster pulling in with the excitement, danger and the unknown as well as the chase and how it all played out. He gives enough pauses to let it sink in and really feel what the characters are feeling. There were no background noises, no volume changes and if any breaks were taken I could not tell. The audio is very clean and clear giving you hours of enjoyment that holds your attention why keeping you guessing and on the edge. I am really looking forward to listening to more of his work.
The author goes a wonderful job holding your attention with mystery, danger, and excitement with thrilling action. You are kept guessing as to who the body is that was found, and how it all fits in with a boat she was cleaning. I really enjoyed the twists and turns as the plot thickens with a great ending that gets your heart pounding as life and death are kept on a thin balance. The characters are great as they work together to find the answers why the author puts them in danger with a touch of romance that is exciting and thrilling. I love the mean lady who keeps your eyes on Kurt making his life very unpleasant at times. The humor is a great addition, I chuckled a few times and even laughed a couple. I found this book to be thrilling, exciting and well worth my time. The narrator really brings so much to this story bring it alive with pictures you can see as you listen to a wonderful story that I was unable to put down. I can’t wait for the next one in this series.
Really enjoyed this book! Kept me interested from beginning to end and moving on to more by this author…
This is the start to a new series but a spinoff of the Mac Travis stories and an excellent followup to Kurt Hunter’s introduction in “Wood’s Betrayal.” A good, solid adventure story with lots of action, a little romance, and an interesting finale.
UPDATE: Reread, or rather listened to the audio, delightfully narrated by Paul J. McSorley, and found myself enjoying it even more the second time around. Author Steven Becker writes a terrific adventure story!
Pretty good. It held my intetest.
This is the first book I have read from this author. Engaging storyline and memorable characters. I will likely continue reading this series.
I felt that I was getting a lesson in boating, the story line was good but to much about the workings of a boat and running of one for my liking.
Another favorite series of mine. I love them all
Loved this book. Great story line.
Loved this book!
The James Bond of Florida
I enjoyed the main character but I really could have done without the boating lessons. Yes, he was new to that area and the skills involved in learning to host but way way too many details about boats.
This book wasn’t badly written or uninteresting, it just wasn’t what I was looking for, I guess. I enjoyed the look at the Florida Keys as much as I did the plot.
Excellent detective story.
Loved the characters and the setting. Great play on emotions. One of the better who-done-its out there.
This series has been a fun read. I enjoy the location and references to places I have been.
Great read
