The Como Falcon

Ali Falco, Book 1

De: Jeff Carson

Narrado por: Marnye Young

A shocking death along the shores of Lake Como rocks a police officer to her core, pulling her into a showdown with a past she’s been running from far too long.

Police officer Ali Falco has created a comfortable life in the beautiful Tuscan city of Siena, Italy patrolling the ancient streets. Behind the walls of the medieval town it’s easy to keep the past out of mind, but shocking news of her father’s death is impossible to ignore, forcing her to return north to her childhood home of Como, a stunning lakeside city tucked into the Italian Alps, and the site of a lot of bad memories.

She and her father were tightly bonded until the death of her mother thrust a divide between them. Hate him or not, though, something about his death doesn’t look right. In fact, it looks very wrong, and she soon finds herself caught up in a case that pulls all the demons out of the dark depths of her past, along with a few that may still be lurking around the picturesque valley she used to call home.

As questions surface, answers prove elusive. Was her father the monster she assumed? Or is there much more at play going on in those memories of hers, something as complex as it is disturbing? With the help of a local Carabinieri agent, an intriguing man with a dark past of his own, she’ll soon learn she’s risking her own life, and a potential chance at love, to find answers.

As more people die, more blood is shed to keep secrets, the ultimate question will remain: Can Ali overcome the impossible? Or will the Falco lineage end with her?

From the international multi-million copy bestselling author of the David Wolf Series comes the first book in a brand new, pulse-pounding, international mystery series. If you like thrills and mystery, action and intrigue, exotic locales mixed with a touch of romance, then The Como Falcon is perfect for you!

The beginning of another Jeff Carson series triumph!

Carson’s novels always scream with attention to detail from the characters to the geography to the area history. Carson makes you feel as if you are there.
Marnye Young, he female narrator for the Audible presentation was excellent.
I look forward to the next adventure. 👍😊

This story was great, but for some language. I really enjoy the mind of of this author.

Crude language, unnecessary f-bombs. There are other ways to express extreme anger and displeasure.

almost didn't finish it

it took to chapter 8 to get rolling then it was very good! I would recommend it with The caveat you just have to wait for it to get going.

Believable, strong female lead inspector Falco

Enjoyed the setting in Italy and the interactions among different police services in that country. Plus, great characters and a engaging in believable plot.

Very entertaining

Suspenseful with a touch of attraction & love. The ending was very positive about life’s adventures.

ok character development

it's worth your time .nothing special in here. wouldn't stop me reading something else. I'm hoping that the books get better. I like the characters. I hope they develop a little bit more. there could be something here.

Suspenseful and Intriguing

I really enjoyed this first Ali Falco novel. Jeff is a new to me author, but I'll definitely be back for more. The Como Falcon was filled with mystery, suspense, twists and just a little bit of romance.

Ali was a fantastic lead. She was smart, driven, and all around kick butt. I loved watching her unravel the unalivings of her parents with the help of Marco. I loved Marco too, and as a mostly romance reader, I'm hoping to see a lot more of him in book two.

The audio was great. Marnye Young did a wonderful job narrating these characters and telling this story. I'm really excited to listen to more from her.

Dynamic woman

I liked her strength and determination to solve a mystery. Not because she thought she knew everything but because she knew enough to investigate further.
