Moonlight Sonata

A Dick Moonlight P.I. Thriller, Book 7

By: Vincent Zandri

Narrated by: Andrew B. Wehrlen

"Zandri's prose flows effortlessly as usual, making it a fast but satisfying read. Many crime novels that attempt this speed lose something in the process, but it's a testament to Zandri's talent that Moonlight Sonata never feels empty." (Ben Sobieck, Crime Fiction Book Blog)

Sometimes a man who goes missing should stay missing!

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Vincent Zandri comes the next installment in the internationally acclaimed Dick Moonlight, PI series. For fans of Charlie Huston, Don Winslow, and Harlan Coben, the Dick Moonlight series is pure noir, tossed against a backdrop of hard-boiled action, with some romantic/suspense thrown into the mix.

When a hotshot literary agent by the name of Suzanne Bonchance lures Richard Moonlight into searching for her missing star client -the boozing, womanizing Roger Walls - the private detective finds himself waist-deep in a whole lot of trouble. But when a sexy, young writing MFA student who claims to know Walls comes to his rescue, Moonlight not only becomes smitten with her charm, he also finds himself falling in love with a girl he barely knows. As the trail for Walls narrows and the truths about everyone who has ever been involved with Roger Walls are revealed, Moonlight finds himself wanting to run away as fast as his legs will take him. One thing he can't outrun, however, are bullets.

"Tough, stylish, heartbreaking." (Don Winslow, best-selling author of Savages)

Exciting and witty P.I. tale.

Richard Moonlight, the sharp, witty, womanizing Private Dick. This episode in the journal of Moonlight P.I. cases has the intrepid detective looking for famous author Roger Walls. Moonlight’s romantic indiscretions will get him in trouble once again, as I have a feeling it usually does. Between the writer and his less-than-ethical agent, several cans of worms are opened forcing Moonlight to be at the top of his game in order to stay out of jail. The story is fast-paced and the action keeps the pages turning. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

hard one to put down

I review a couple books a week, a lot are almost painful. a few weeks ago I had another of zandri's books and loved it. I started this one without realizing it was the same author. after getting into the book I looked into it and caught the connection. literally the two best books I have had the chance to review for awhile and I'm not real big on this genre. his writing is great and wehrlen brings it to life perfectly.

awesome

Great listening experience. It's a rollercoaster of action and humor.
Love Zandri's writing style coupled with ABWs superb narration = an entertaining book.

Can Be A Standalone

This was a good story that kept my attention. It was steady paced with interesting characters. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. This was my first of this series and I definitely am interested in more

Lots of Twists!

I loved all of the twists this book had. The characters were unique and the storyline original. Without giving away spoilers, one scene is taboo, but remember this is fiction. I thought the narrator did a great performance with various characters and their accents. I have enjoyed listening to several books by this author and narrator and will continue to listen to more. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Great thriller

I started this book without having read or listened to any of the others in the series, although I have listened to several by the same author and narrator (that should say something good about them). I don't feel that I missed much by starting here, but I am definitely planning on going back and listening to the others in the series.

This book was great fun, and I loved the characters, adventure, suspense, and twists. Having read a few other of Zandri's books, it is pretty clear that he likes to write about a certain type of character...alpha male, handsome, a little troubled, and able to seduce beautiful women in a single bound...basically think of James Bond, but with significant issues and possible chemical dependencies. I actually thought that this type of character would not appeal to me, but I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed these stories.

Pretty good

I entered this series with this book. That didn't feel like a detriment, though. I really didn't feel like I was missing too much. The dialog was pretty good, and voiced well by Andrew Wehrlen. I'd definitely be open to more.

More Please!

This is book seven in the series but only my second listen. Moonlight is an interesting character and with his former-cop-attempted-suicide background, the storylines and supporting casts are very inventive.

I loved the narration! Moonlight, himself, is a simple enough voice to characterize. When you add in other cops, Russians, larger than life authors, and a host of other shady characters, well, hats off to the narrator.

I liked the story and absolutely did not see that ending coming. That was fun.

I will definitely listen to more of the Moonlight saga.

Fast paced story!

This is a fast paced keep you on the age of your seat story. There are many ups and downs and just when I thought I knew who and when and why....I didn’t. Everyone is intertwined and intermingled.
I enjoy how the author puts his stories together. They are a perfect blend of mystery, drama and suspense. They are easy to listen to. The characters are all weird and unpredictable. This makes for fun listening.
I listened to this on audio. Andrew B Wehrlen does an excellent job. I enjoy listening to his books.

Exit Moonlight

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No

If you’ve listened to books by Vincent Zandri before, how does this one compare?

First time.........................Last time

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Narration is better then the story but that is like saying most Presidents are better then Trump.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Only if I needed a long sleep.

Any additional comments?
