Could Not Stop Listening

All of Joel Barrows books, are genius. His professional background gives credibility to every story he writes story. The characters are all diverse and will hold yo captive for an incredible journey. The narration is great and brings life to each character enthralling you in the world Barrows created. I highly recommend this audiobook!

Addicting!!

Very engrossing book, both the subject matter and the characters. I had to keep listening until I was finished! The Drug Lords offers multiple twists and turns from start to finish.

The story's intensity is nothing short of breathtaking bringing the characters to life and sending you on an emotional roller coaster as Tobin and Bristol fight for the truth and to simply survive...

I highly recommend this as a good, corporate-based murder mystery. Very beautifully done!

It's Got it All. Murder Mystery and Romance!

The book is part murder mystery, and part suspense novel, with a nice pinch of romance thrown in.

The Drug Lords delves into the world of Big Pharma whose executives dance to the tune of high corporate profit and high personal gain.

When Dr. Tobin, one of the few not seduced by corporate greed, starts exploring the "accidental" death of one of her co-workers, she soon finds herself the target of a hired assassin. Fortunately, she finds a friend (and eventual lover) in John Bristol, former prosecuting attorney turned coffee shop owner.

Multiple characters throughout the book are well developed and interesting. The story flows smoothly and grips you from start to finish. You will not want to stop listening.

Excellent book and narration!

Nightmarish narration.

I have never heard a worse narrator! I couldn't focus on the story because he was so bad. Save your sanity. Buy the book.
