ANGEL'S DEVIL Jake Brand, PI, Book 1

Colin Iago McCarthy deftly narrates Jake Brand's story, which begins as his wife is divorcing him. At the same time, he's investigating the murder of a childhood friend. This entertaining mystery moves quickly, and McCarthy's low, gravelly voice perfectly suits Jake, and the angel and devil that talk into each of his ears. Jake lives under a dark cloud; his struggles with alcohol add to his character, making him more likable. As Jake's friends help him through his life crisis and point him toward more adventures, McCarthy engages listeners through his fluid cadence and steady pacing. The twists and turns of this whodunit make it a fun listen. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2016]
