The Family Business

De: John Corwin

Narrado por: Austin Rising

Jack's family emasculates pedophiles and rapists. They catch them and cut off their dicks and balls. Then the family releases them to live out their lives, their emasculated groins a constant reminder of their sins.

They also release them with a warning: We're watching.

Jack's family is wealthy and highly respected. No one has ever imagined they might be behind these emasculations. But when Jack's friend is murdered, he realizes someone knows about the Family Business. And they're out to destroy the family.

Jack has to find out who is behind that and stop them at all costs. Even if it costs him his life.

Dark, Perfectly Balanced and Enthrallingly Genius! I loved It!

After hearing about a heinous crime, a naughty imp on my right shoulder’s been known to mutter “if I had my way, those who commit “certain offenses” would receive “fitting justice” … justice a court would NEVER mete out … justice polite society would NEVER admit to being … well, justice! When Jack Ironwood joins “The Family Business” … he finds that’s EXACTLY what happens … and Jack’s okay with it … until things go askew and the authorities start suspecting him of a “justice” he DIDN’T mete out! Tense, riveting, and GENIUS, this story just might be my listen of the year! The writing and plotting are masterful, with a plethora of “twisty shockers” along the way to the reveal, insuring my interest was immediately grabbed, and then held as if in a vice ~ from the brilliantly narrated opening words to the dynamically fulfilling closing lines! The scene setting is clear with any necessary “background information” seamlessly integrated INTO the story. The dialogue is brilliantly believable, running true to each character’s personality! The cast of well varied, interesting and intricately defined characters reveal themselves organically as the story plays out, providing more than a few eye opening surprises ~ which I won’t be revealing here! I WILL tell you, I was stunned more than once, as I saw none coming, AND I was completely DELIGHTED with the way ALL was resolved at story’s end! Another thing that had me completely delighted was the narration! This is a “new to me” narrator, and I am an instant fan! He is AMAZING! Every character, male or female, is distinctly and believably voiced! I could recognize who was speaking just by their voice throughout! Every accent and inflection … perfect! Timing, emotion and pacing … perfect! An absolutely PERFECT and delightful presentation, beautifully bringing the authors vision stunningly alive! This story and performance had everything I look for, AND long for in an audio presentation! Five fabulously brilliant stars, across all categories! I loved “The Family Business”!

It is a great concept but falls a little short

I thought the idea of this story was good bt it is a little boring. They dont do a lot of "interventions" in the story line so it gets monotonous. The narrator did an ok job I cant stand the fake accent he does for the butler guy

Punishment due

I like this book pretty much from the beginning. I like the idea and concept and the family legacy. Definitely give this a try and definitely looking into his other book series. They are just as good.

Very Intriguing

The narration was great. We'll get that out of the way. The character distinction was overall done well with some similarities based on the characters.

The story was a unique twist on criminal love. The Family Business brings intrigue and wasn't completely predictable. Definitely a fun experience.
