Dead End Fix

Justice Series, Book 6

By: T. E. Woods

Narrated by: Christina Delaine

I'll bring Hadley home. Whatever it takes. Whatever it costs. Whoever has to die.

There's a gang war unfolding on the streets of Seattle. A young boy has been killed in a drive-by shooting, and the ensuing chaos threatens to engulf the city. Normally, chief of detectives Mort Grant would be dealing with the fallout - but right now, his mind is elsewhere....

In one gut-wrenching phone call, Mort's worst fears are realized. His granddaughter Hadley has been kidnapped, and the culprit is his own flesh and blood: Allie, his daughter and Hadley's aunt. Now, desperate for any sign of the missing six-year-old girl, Mort turns once again to the relentless vigilante called The Fixer for help.

After rising to the top of one of the largest criminal enterprises in the world, Allie Grant has turned her focus back on her family. But since they've rebuffed all her attempts at contact, she's punishing them the only way she knows how. With an endless stream of cash and connections that span the globe, Allie makes a formidable target. But The Fixer boasts the deadliest weapon of all: her razor-sharp mind.

AMAZING SERIES EXCELLENT NARRATION

Love this series! Lydia is awesome!

The story line and plot was great. All these stories have been fantastic. I liked the twists and turns and Lydia of course is fantastic.

I don't know if this is the last book or not but Lydia did say "I am going back to work" so we will see. I hope not.

I don't want to give any spoilers away here so read the book description for that and know my opinion of this book along wit the rest of the series is amazing and I live a female assassin.

As for the narration, OMG Christina Delaine does an amazing superb job on ALL the voices, especially Lydia. Love her narration in this series! Will definitely listen to more books she has narrated.

READ THIS SERIES STARTING WITH "THE FIXER"

GREAT SERIES

Love the series. Good storylines.. Character development well fleshed out. My only complaint is I the series ending left me unsatisfied. I wanted Lydia to accept her past and move on. I wanted Mort to stop flogging himself over how Allie turned out and move on with his life. Overall I loved every book in the series and am sorry this was the last.

Great suspense

Another great book in the Justice series!! I hope there is another of these books soon. I listened to the last 3 one after the other and am excited to se what comes next for The Fixer.

Great series for intrigue and suspense

These are great books...especially if one likes strong independent...yet feminine women. Lots of twists and turns...I this is not the end of the Fixers exploits.

A new Fix

What did you love best about Dead End Fix?

continuation of fascinating fixer theme with main flawed actors while incorporating a new tragic story about gang activity and drama in the Seattle area.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

the main plot theme is always well written with deep understanding of the author's background as a psychologist, but also is very creativity and written in such a way that also creates thought provoking questions while patiently developing a separate gripping story line within the book. The narrator Ms. Delaine's reading talents also add greatly to these points. i love to read the books, but Ms. Delaine brings each tale to its maximun. congrats hope Ms Woods you can creatively continue with the Fixer series. if not, the characters and interesting story lines will be sadly missed.

What does Christina Delaine bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

her ability to make the characters live in the listener's mind

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

i have been always intrigued by Ms Woods ability to explain the psychological
aspects of the Fixer and her actions while giving great weight and development to Mort and his colleagues. As a criminal trial lawyer i have loved her character development yet giving rise to the more subtle, but believable aspect of the major criminals in each book.

Any additional comments?

well done again. hope the new sister book is as good.

Dead End Fix

Well, it's done. The cops daughter is done. Justice, what is it! An eye for an eye. Do as I say or not as I've done.

5 star book and 10 star narration..

This wasn’t as good as the others in the Fixer (Justice) series but it was still excellent. I think it spent way too much time with the 97 and the Pico gangs and not enough time with Mort and Lydia and Allie. And, speaking of Allie, she was one sick biotch. You could tell how sick she was by her telling her men to “protect your queen,” because that’s how she saw herself. She killed anyone who got in her way, even if she had to kill a child to make a point. And Mort kept telling Allie, his own daughter, she needed to give herself up and he would help her with her legal problems. How Mort could even stand to be near the murdering witch is beyond me, daughter or not.

Lydia went to the British Virgin Islands after Hadley, Mort’s granddaughter, when she was taken by Allie and convinced Allie that it would be better if Hadley went home since Allie’s Russian head-honcho had seen Hadley and since he still hated Allie might kill Hadley if given the chance.

And then there was Kashawn, the 17 year old kid that wanted to be a part of the 97 gang so badly he said he killed a Pico gang member. He was written in such a way that you couldn’t help but like him. It wasn’t so much that he wanted to be in a gang rather he wanted a place to call home: a place to sleep and food to eat. He was a child of the Foster System and that just didn’t work out for him. There was drugs and gang violence all through this book so if you’re bothered by either then this isn’t for you.

There was no sex in this book but the F-bomb was 34 times.

This is the sixth book in the series and I loved every one of them. I sincerely hope we haven’t seen the last of Lydia, The Fixer.

As to the narration: I have to say that Christina Delaine did the most phenomenal job of all the 782 books I’ve listened to. Her emotions were spot on BUT mostly her voices were just incredible. Whether it was a gang member talking, a Russian, Mort or Lydia or Allie or Jim or Micki, a Spanish accent, an Arabic accent or French she did everyone to perfection and with their own distinct voice. Simply awesome!!!

Hook Up With A Fix

I found this series more than addicting. You will find yourself so absorbed, you will be a junkie looking for the next "Fix"
Thank you T. E. Woods, for a fascinating, refreshing, exotic, and oh so engaging series. You will love the characters, I promise. Even Bruiser, the police K9 is a star in the characters. All of the characters are wonderful and will draw you in with, "a can't wait to see where they go next and what will happen". I'm assuming this was the last book due to ending. I wish there was more, but Wood's
did a superb job with the timing.
Now... very important, although I had never heard the narrator Christina Delaine before, I will defiantly look for her again. She did a compelling performance! One of the best I ever that I have witnessed. Start with book 1, you'll race to get to book 5! Start your Fix now. Well worth the credits, and I'll bet some of you will be purchasing 3 extra credits to get to: The Next Fix!

I can't believe there not another story

another fabulous narration. there are so many characters that you don't think it's one person. she does distinct male /female voices
the only draw back to this story was the cursing. I was A bit embarrassed to listen to it at home on speaker. don't get me wrong I understand the need for it within the story line. and it wasn't cursing just to curse.
another good violent story that weaves itself into the core story.

Excellent!

Great story! And the narration is outstanding! I'm black and I can say that I wasn't offended by her depiction of the black characters the way some other reviewers were. If she had made all black characters sound like gangsters, that would've been problematic; but that wasn't the case. I listen to a lot of audio books, and Delaine is one of the best.
