Acerca de esta escucha

August Snow, an ex-police detective who was fired from the Detroit PD, brought down the entire corrupt department and the mayor with a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. The son of an African American cop and a Mexican American painter, August Snow is most at home in Detroit's Mexicantown neighborhood, where he grew up - the neighborhood he's now returned to and hopes to revitalize with his settlement money of $12 million. The trouble is August has old enemies with scores to settle.

When an old acquaintance, finance magnate Eleanore Paget, hears August is back in town, she tries to hire him to investigate suspicious goings-on at her investment bank. August declines - detective work is no longer his beat. When Eleanore is found dead the next day of an apparent suicide, August doesn't buy it for a minute. His search for her killer will drag him into a rat's nest of Detroit's most dangerous criminals.

Lo que los oyentes dicen sobre August Snow

Con calificación alta para:

The Reviews Suggest That The Audiobook Has An Engaging And Well-written Storyline, With An Intriguing Plot That Keeps Readers Hooked. However, The Story Starts Off Slowly With Excessive Exposition, And There Are Instances Of Uneven Characterization And An Identity Crisis In Terms Of Whether It Wants To Be A Contemporary Social Commentary Or A Hardboiled Detective Story. The Book Delves Into Themes Of Racism, Detroit City Life, Social Commentary, And Crime Fiction. Overall, Despite Some Flaws, The Story Seems To Be Compelling And Well-received By Many Readers.

interesting.

Agree with one reviewer who said this read like a movie. Which is what bothered me through much of it. That aside; found it reasonably good, with very likable characters being my favorite part. Not sure yet if am going on with series.

Exceptional Read!

What a great story, although I would have rather that August had a little less angst! So much loss ! Made his character much too emotionally burdened at times. Looking forward to Book #2. Maybe his personal life gets better!

A little slow

Good story but slow. Narration was good. I will listen to the next book in the series before I decide to go beyond that.

Better than the description

From the description of this book, I couldn't tell where or when the setting was and I procrastinated reading it thinking it was a historical crime novel.
It is modern day Detroit, with a very likable mixed-race PI who used to work for the police department, then got a big settlement from the city so he doesn't have to work (or take crap from anyone). He is as dedicated to his community as he is to solving the crime. The book is smart, well-written, and wrapped up all loose ends. I can't wait to read the next August Snow book.

great story line, bit too much a Detroit woes

I have lived in Detroit for 33 years and have friends born and raised in Mexican town oh, so I look forward to a book in which the city of Detroit and Mexican Town played a prominent role. there was plenty of both in the book, a lot of social commentary about white flight, and sometimes it felt admit too much. towards middle through end of the book everything balances out and the main story dominates. I am looking forward to read the next book in the series.
