A Simple Mistake

Deadly Mistakes, Book 1

De: Alice Winters

Narrado por: 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.

If Llamas with Hats Were a Romance

And yet I couldn't stop.
I finished the whole thing in one day.
Just enough conflict without dwelling in stress. HEA.

yes! love if!

recommend 10/10
voice actor is epic
alice is wonderful as always!!
cannot wait until book 2 is on audible.

OMG!

I love Alice Winters but this book is literally the best!!! Very morally grey hero gets the sweet golden retriever guy? YES please.

aliam is honestly scary... I would not want to be on his S# list.

I'm not generally a fan of having the protagonist being a sociopath but Alice has written a very flawed hero in Liam. An exquisite sociopath who understands who he is.
Gabriel, our second protagonist, is the one person who can rein Liam in. Liam's love for Gabriel wins over his need to kill bad people (think Dexter but with better storytelling and less on scene gore to delight some people who should not be encouraged).
The story is woven in 3 time frames: 2 years ago, one year ago, and the present. This is done skilfully that it helps the story unfold rather than making for irritating time jumps. Again, I'm not normally a fan of such storytelling but here is a master-class in keeping the reader interested as history shines a light on the present.
Steamy, where needed. Hurt comfort, and a very, very protective killer with a badge: just what you need to catch a successful serial killer.

Liam is... something, alright

I don't know how Alice can make us falling in love with a serial killer, but she sure does (laugh).
Even with a murderous cat!
The narrator makes an impressive work of capturing Liam's (phychotic) voice and tone that you can feel he is 'almost' sane.
Well, this book is not a light-hearted one as her previous works.
There are many dark, and very dark moments in here.
Hope Liam and Leland can meet each other someday.

When murder isn’t really a red flag?

Let me start by saying, I have never read an Alice Winters book that I did not like! I am a fan of all of her stories. However, I have come to the conclusion that this one so far is my favorite! The chemistry between Gabriel and Liam is explosive! Not to mention, a sexy dude that would kill for you? I guess some red flags you can look past lol! 10 out of 10 on this one! I highly recommend it.

awesome

I thought the narrator did a really good job and I really enjoyed the story. Her books tend to be dramatic and ridiculous and this one was a little more serious but I still enjoyed her style.

YES! THIS! MORE, PLEASE!

What a fantastic start to a series! I can’t wait for the next BOOKS featuring the two main characters.

Note…this is NOT for the weak-of-heart…just sayin’…it gets a bit violent NECESSARILY at times…but the whole thing is so well written that it’s like watching a great movie!

It’s got so much…I laughed out loud people! Not an easy feat that…making me LOL. MC1 (Liam) is my new book boyfriend…yup. He’s like an M&M…solid outer shell, squishy, delicious inside. The banter during the lighter (and a lot of the darker) parts is quite entertaining…like I said…you’ll LOL. Also, it gets super 🌶️ a couple times…tsssss! Loved it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Of course, you know Mr. Greg Boudreaux brought the entire thing to life. Awesome narration!

Thanks, Ms. Alice…you rule! Now…write more Liam/Gabriel-style Thrillers & Mysteries, please.

Enjoy!💖

AW is not a one hit wonder!

Can’t wait for the arrival of the next book in the series to be released in Audible. AW is gifted with her mix of MM dramatic/comedic characters. In this series, detectives Liam and Gabriel are a perfect blend of paradoxical personalities. Liam, a serial avenger who hates all humans with only one exception. Gabriel, the childlike adult detective in the room struggles with the world as he believes it should be, plays by the rules, and one of the few on the force who can who tolerate Liam.
AW weaves her story beautifully around the two main characters. Voice narrator, Greg Boudreaux is first and foremost…a great actor. Winters/Boudreaux = great story + great story teller.
You don’t want to miss this one.
