Historia
This novel by Carl Hiaasen, author of Tourist Season and Native Tongue, begins as most thrillers do, with a killing. But this is no everyday, hum-drum, garden variety killing. Our hero, Nick Stranahan, a 42-year-old private investigator who has killed five men and been married five times, skewers his attacker's aorta with the razor-sharp bill of a stuffed marlin.

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

Historia
Two pirates do battle on an old junk ship in Singapore Harbor. They leap nimbly from deck to rigging, crossing swords like fencing masters. And then one surprises the other, slicing a rope and sending the unfortunate pirate tumbling into the bay. This is how stuntman Angelo Sacchetti dies. Edward Cauthorne was his opponent, a fellow stuntman whose career died along with Sacchetti. He’s selling used cars when two thugs approach him.

The murder of Paul Wheeler has all the elements of a blockbuster: family rivalries, incalculable wealth, and a prominent man dying in the arms of his beautiful mistress. It's a case that could earn Derek Mitchell even greater star power. When the Wheeler family approaches him about defending Creighton for his uncle's murder -- even before he's charged -- he jumps at the chance.

Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a "brilliantly innovative thriller-writer", Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries set in Nazi-era Berlin that are nothing short of spellbinding. The first book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, March Violets introduces listeners to Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin - until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture.

When private investigator Simon Wolfe is hired to follow his friend’s wife under suspicion of adultery, he could never have guessed it would lead him into a friendship with the world’s leading writer, Ernest Hemingway. Nor could he have predicted the strange and disturbing twists the investigation would take. The case accelerates quickly when the wife is found murdered in a Key West hotel and discovered to have a secret life. But that revelation is downright boring as the plot thickens with increasingly bizarre revelations, capped off with a macabre ending no one saw coming.

Historia
Red Harvest, which was originally published in four issues of Black Mask from November 1927 to February 1928, is acclaimed as one of the essential detective novels, giving birth to a darker turn than classic great detectives such as Sherlock Holmes. Drawing from his personal experiences as an operative with the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Hammett portrays a dark, violent world full of gangsters, corrupt cops, and flawed detectives hired to clean up the place. André Gide called Red Harvest "a remarkable achievement, the last word in atrocity, cynicism, and horror."

Historia
Who exactly is Danziger? He's a writer of letters for illiterate immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side - "a steadfast practitioner of concealing and forgetting" for his clients, and perhaps for himself: He hints at a much worldlier past. What and whoever he really is or has been, he has a seemingly boundless knowledge of the city and its denizens. And he knows much more than the mere identity of the floating corpse.

Well written, funny and entertaining
The Big Break-Up of 1948 is a superbly written mystery comedy novel by author, writer, and producer James Grant Goldin, beautifully performed in audiobook format by talented narrator Nancy Bober.
As the title suggests, the action takes place in 1948, a year of change I could say, very important in the United States and for the world in general, as the first chapter of this extremely entertaining novel informs us with a very detailed and educational recap comprised of the main headlines of that year.
The story follows radio hosts, private detectives, and everyday married couple of Mrs. and Mr. Key. Our two protagonists have to work together in order to solve postwar Washington DC’s, most baffling murder, while at the same time figuring out how to handle their marriage that is quickly falling apart.
Spies, ruthless crooks, deceptive impostors, some competent detectives, beautiful women, murder, heists, and a well-written mystery collide in The Big Break-Up of 1948 and create a highly entertaining story featuring some of the most unforgettable and colorful characters I encountered this year.
Author James Grant Goldin perfectly captures the look and feel of the classic atmosphere of that era with this novel and I honestly hope to see more books from him as soon as possible.
Voiceover artist and narrator Nancy Bober delights and entertains the listener from the first phrase to the last word of this superb audio production with skill, enthusiasm, and energy. She is absolutely amazing and manages to bring all the characters to life with distinct voices and accents.
Nancy enriches and elevates an already excellent narrative with a top-notch performance. She is perfect for this production and I hope to discover more audiobooks narrated by her.
The Big Break-Up of 1948 is a must-listen for fans of old-school mysteries who also like a touch of comedic relief sprinkled throughout the adventure! James Grant Goldin has captured my attention with this novel and I am sure that The Big Break-Up of 1948 will become a very successful and well-known work of fiction in the years to come.
I hope that you also found this review helpful. Take care, stay safe and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
