Westport

De: James Comey

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Former FBI director James Comey takes listeners into the world of high finance and corporate espionage in this riveting thriller.

It's been two years since Nora Carleton left the job she loved at the US Attorney's Office to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. The career change also meant a change of scenery, relocating her to Westport, Connecticut, fifty miles north of New York City. But it was worth it to get her daughter, Sophie, away from the city. Plus, she likes the people she works with. Especially Helen, who recruited Nora because of her skills as an investigator.

Then, Nora's new life falls apart when a coworker is murdered and she becomes the lead suspect. Nora calls in her old colleagues from the US Attorney's Office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia. To clear Nora's name, Benny and Carmen hunt for the true killer's motive, but it seems nearly everyone at Saugatuck has secrets worth killing for. As Benny sets out to interrogate her colleagues, Nora examines her history with the company to determine who set her up to take the fall.

Story line & Detail

I liked everything. So much detail. The voices are excellent. Can’t wait for Director Comey’s next book

excellent mystery

i really enjoyed book with many different characters and background on an industry I know liitte oof

Foul language not needed to tell a good story

disliked the over use of inappopriate language to tell the story, certainly did not need it.

Second book is just as good as the first!!

This second book in Comey’s Nora Carleton series was absolutely fantastic. I started listening to it this morning and finished it this evening
The story begins with Nora Carleton (the protagonist) leaving her job at the US Attorney’s office and taking a job her ex-husband’s new wife is responsible for getting her. She tells no one how she got the job. As soon as she arrives she already has an enemy. Seems he was next in line for her job and thinks she got simply because she’s a woman.
It’s not long before the one friend and superior is murdered. Her body is found in Nora’s boat. The weapon, a knife from the victim’s home is found in Nora’s cutlery drawer.
One police officer wants to nail her. The other can’t believe such an intelligent woman and former US Attorney could be so dumb as to leave a trail leading right to her.
With the help of good friends in the FBI who have taken time from their own jobs, they begin the task of unraveling who could possibly hate a woman they barely know for murder. The story will keep you rivited until the end.

Cassandra Campbell does an OUTSTANDING job narrating.

Good read

This is a good story, with really likable characters. It was engaging and moved at a good pace. it really enjoyed this book

Loving this new authors works

Like the follow up characters of previous novel. Believable scenario for the most part I am sure as he’d know what “could” happen at that level. Hope he continues with the characters in another novel. I mowed through both in a week.

Great read! Exciting, interesting and fun

This was a big surprise, coming from James Comey given his previous career experience. Wish she had always been an author for more reasons than one. This is an exciting murder mystery with also very interesting. Perspectives on the thinly Vale Bridgewater hedge fund and the characters are very well drawn and very enjoyable and keep the story interesting. Definitely worth a read.

The amount of dialogue.

I regally liked Nore and Benny. I also very much liked the reader of the book.

Great new book! I really enjoyed it!great job again Mr. Comey

To me there was nothing to dislike. I enjoyed the story and the ending was kind and gentle.

Who done it kept me guessing right up to the end.

Jim Comey delivers a fast based who done murder mystery with a slice of hedge fund operations and Westport knowledge mixed in. Enjoyed the characters. Hope Comey continues publishing as he excels in storytelling.
