A Simple Mistake

Deadly Mistakes, Book 1

By: Alice Winters

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Liam

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free.

It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least?

The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again. Yet when Gabriel gets taken by a serial killer, there’s absolutely no way I can sit back while this parasite takes what is mine.

But what the killer doesn’t know is that I’m coming for him and that I would destroy the world to keep Gabriel safe. After all, who could hunt a serial killer better than another one?

Gabriel

Drawing Liam back into homicide is the last thing I thought I’d ever do, but the killer is picking off my fellow detectives, and the only way we’re going to make it out of this is with Liam heading the case (even if there’s one—or five—coworkers he’d rather not save).

Liam is smart, sarcastic, and the most dangerous man I’ve ever met, and yet I can’t look away—even if he calls my adorable cat Lucy Fur. No one has any idea just how far Liam will go for me, especially not the killer, who won’t realize until too late that the prey he hunts is actually a predator.

LOVED THIS!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Wow!
I love Liam, one of the MC. His humor, sarcasm, and deviant heart is strangely likable. Plus Gabriel is a good counterpart to his personality. Greg Boudreaux, as always, did spectacular narration. Another good Alice Winters story. Highly recommend.

Romance and humor

Love everything by Alice Winters and Greg Boudreaux . They’re amazing together. Automatic buy for me

New Favorite Murder Baby

I love this book. It's basically Dexter, but make it gay. Liam is a new favorite character. It was really interesting how we kept jumping around in time. The parts with Liam's backstory are so hard and sad to listen to. Get this book, you won't regret it.

This was Fantastic…

But I thought I would offer a bit of a disclaimer. This title is a little more serious than most of Alice Winters’ other works; its tone is reminiscent of her earliest works. Again, an excellent listen, but if you’re expecting another Hitman’s Guide, this is not it.
I love the both main characters and the conflict Gabriel feels over wanting him. Liam is very interesting and is so sweet to Gabriel. I mean he’s definitely one of those “hot in a book scary irl” types but it *is* a book. Lucille (the cat) has a wonderfully accurate personality and her feud with Liam is quite entertaining. The mystery itself is good too, probably Winters’ best that I can think of.
Overall, 10/10, very excited for the sequel :)

Great Mystery! Had Me Stumped!

Alice Winters has done it again! This book was unexpected.
I like serial killer stories but this one went beyond that! I do not do spoilers nor do I regurgitate the synopsis (why do people do that?🙄).
Throw in being cops and you have a riveting story.
This book will keep you guessing..it sure did me! I thought I had the bad guy all wrapped up but I wasn't even close. I love a good mystery. I really liked that it wasn't full of 'smexy times'. Sometimes that takes away from the story.
Absolutely need this,to be a series!!! Can't wait for the next one.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I do love the craziest!

Like anything Alice Winters, you’re going to get a morally grey character with a wild sense of humor and their lovely partner that somehow deal with it all. Love Alice Winters always a fun read/ listen.

Another hit by Alice Winters

I love Greg Bordeaux and he does an excellent job as usual. Liam and Gabriel’s dynamic is the perfect push and pull. I love the way Liam loves Gabriel no matter how Gabriel feels or treats him. The glances into the past were just the right amount to give us good context. Can’t wait for book 2!

The perfect ratio

As always, Alice has the perfect ratio of suspense, romance, heartbreak of traumas past and deadpan humor with a pinch of 🌶️ to keep things interesting. Dickish grump ready to tear the world apart to keep his sunshiny love safe. And of course there’s Lucy Fur. An amazing book deserves an amazing performance and Greg Boudreaux certainly delivers that.

Great combo

Alice Winters and Greg Boudreaux are a match made in heaven. This story is darker than some of AW’s recent work but still has the trademark humor.
It will be interesting to see where this series will go.
