Entertaining

Fun, quick listen. I liked the Film Noir style set in the present day. The narrator had a perfect dry, deadpan style for the private detective telling the story.

good!

I really enjoyed this novella! The story was interesting and had a bit of humor with really good narration.

Well crafted

I enjoyed this short story. There were lots of twists and turns that made it interesting. The characters were well developed and interesting. Short and fun to listen to.

The narration was well done, I liked the character voices and the delivery flowed and was enjoyable to listen to.

Greed trumps again!

All the twists and turns held my attention to the end!

John Holt weaves a tale to keep Jack Daniels on the trail of blackmail and murder.

Peter Borys was a great narrator bringing the characters to life.

It felt like I was there with Daniels in the story

Short, twisty turny mystery that made my afternoon. The snarky noir feel made this modern story enjoyable, even for someone who doesn’t often listen to mysteries. I’ll happily be listening to the others in the series.

Not Just Whodunit but Who Is It?

So his client offers him a substantial payoff to dig a little dirt on her husband. He provides but she stiffs him. (He's never heard of a retainer?) Shrugging his shoulders he opens the paper to find her picture--attached to another name. Plus she's a corpse. Our P.I. is firmly molded in the noir conceit and plays his hard-boiled game to the . . . interesting . . . conclusion. I listened to narrator Peter Borys who gave a nice edge to the vocalizations.

old fashion detective story

Again John Holt writes another good old fashion detective story. Trouble in mine brings to live detective Jack Daniels. I really like his character. A short story with good characters and a good story line.

There is no corse Language in it, or sex scenes. Although there is some violence it does not go into great details.

Narrator Peter Borys does a good job tell the story. The story is told in the first person. Borys gives each character alive with their own individual voices.

Great Gum Shoe!

I wasn't sure how I would like the slower paced gum shoe Private Eye but I have discovered that I love him. I tend to read higher octane fast paced books but Jack Daniels has found a place in my heart as a great storylines with a slower enjoyable pace that sets it apart. Kind of like a smooth Bourbon!

This is the first time I have heard a story narrated by Peter Borys and he has done an awesome job with Jack! I think John Holt had a trial and error while he found the right fit for Jack and Peter has stepped up to the plate and hit a homer.

I have loved it!! A great smooth story to change up your pace with plenty of intrigue to keep you hooked.

Looking for a fun couple of hours? Here it is!

A quick listen, this is just the book for you. Not original with the plot, but I found the story to be a very fun, enjoyable story. Jack Daniels gets himself involved in a case that includes blackmail and murder. And while we have seen the story lines before, the way it is presented, in a first person, quirky and good-humored kind of way made this an easy story. The narration was key to this story, and Peter Borys performed the characters excellently. He gave each person their own identity in a slightly over the top expression, perfect for this book. I really enjoyed this quick listen.
