Creepy detective

The narrator did a good job. The central character, Lukas Boston, was not very likable. The ghost angle didn’t add anything to the story. The basic story itself was fairly interesting..

Fun and murder in Australia!

Laughed my sox off! If you want politically correct this is not it, but if locker room language and tavern humor is alright, I guarantee that you will have great fun! Now a PI without the constraints of being on the force, yet having an in who is reluctant help, Lukas is tasked with too many weird things and people. All of the characters truly are and you really can't help enjoying the predicaments everybody gets into. Bullets whine and clients nag but that's not the craziest part. Guess you'll just have to find out for yourself!

The best part is that the author is the narrator! You never go wrong with that, and in this case it makes the laughs even funnier!

A clever, witty ghostly PI mystery!

Dead Wrong
Lukas Boston, Private Investigator, Book 1
By: Logan May
Narrated by: G.M.Hague
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
What a great book, it hooked me right away! A PI that can see ghosts and he is a ladies man. Then there is someone shooting at him. Fortunately they missed. He is currently being haunted by a ghost of a criminal that doesn't know he is dead, trying to find a high price cat, and then he gets kidnapped. It is a great listen/read, witty, clever, plot, and wonderful characters. Bits of humor scattered throughout!
The narrator is great for this book, his accent is perfect for this! He makes this book flow from one scene to the next, emotions to the next, all without any stutters... Great performance. All his voices are perfect!

Fun Paranormal PI Series Start

I really enjoy a horror/comedy, so it's no surprise that I enjoy a paranormal/thriller/comedy. Lukas Boston is a truly unlikable character, but that didn't stop me from enjoying listening to him struggle through is day-to-day life, especially since unhelpful ghosts just won't let him be. This book is a fun mix of silliness, crimes and ghosts. If that sounds good to you, you'll love 'Dead Wrong!'

Solid first entry into new series

A funny paranormal PI book which introduces some fun things to build on. A solid entry into Lukas Boston's world, and a good mix of humor and thrills. The narration was good from G.M. Hague, and I look forward to hearing more from him, since this isn't the longest piece to get his entire range of abilities from.

I look forward to more escapades from the series, and hearing more from the narrator.

Solid P. I. Mystery Book.

Would you consider the audio edition of Dead Wrong to be better than the print version?

Yes, the narrator has a charming Australian accent which adds character to the book. The narrator gives a great perfomance and nails the female characters. He gives each character a distinct voice and maintains that voice throughout. After a few chapters, the narrators voice fades into the background as the action of the story takes over. This is the mark of a great narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like Beth. It is unusual for books of this genre with sluttly male characters to have realistic female characters that do not want to sleep with them. Beth is a competant, honest, likeable woman with a wicked sense of humour and a quick wit. She does not want to sleep with Lukas because he is a player. She recognizes his charm and prudently resists it. The interaction between Lukas and Beth is very entertaining.

What does G.M.Hague bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I discussed the narrator above, so now I will discuss the author. This book is unusual for its genre in two ways. It has a believable girl character discussed above, and it is light and fun. Most P. I. novels are dark and heavy. This is a bit dark, but in an entertaining and fun way. The plot is action packed with several surprises that arise from the story authentically. The dialogue is a bit canned in places, but it is a P. I. novel, so that is to be expected. The main character is a jovial, frolicsome version of the dark P. I. stereo-type. The other characters are also novel takes on the stereotypical bad guys. This book is a lot of fun.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

When Rival Mob Bosses are After You, It's Time to Go To Church.

Any additional comments?

Such a fun listen!

I loved every minute of my time in Lukas Boston's world! The author created a light and fun listen, complete with humor and a ghost, and it made for a very fun afternoon.

There were shenanigans aplenty and the narrator delivered on them all.

I'm so glad this is the first book in a series. I can't wait to hear more!!

Excellent series starter

This is a very enjoyable, quite humorous PI mystery, complete with a sidekick ghost. I loved it and will be following the series. Mr. Hague did an excellent job writing and telling the story. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Entertaining

I received a free copy of Dead Wrong Lukas Boston, Private Investigator, Book 1 by Logan May, and narrated by G.M. Hague in exchange for an unbiased review. This review copy Audio Book was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge via Audio Book Boom.

There's nothing like an old fashion wise cracking P.I. story to keep one entertained. Throw in a ghost and some humor, and you have the makings of a fun story. This is a story to be enjoyed and savored.

The narrator G.M. Hague did an great job at keeping the story going at a good pace. I truly enjoyed my time listening to Dead Wrong.

Good story
