DEPARTURE Seth Walker, Book 3

The race to locate an electrical engineer who mysteriously disappears at San Francisco Airport is the focus of this entertaining audiobook. But it is narrator JD Jackson's fast-paced narration that makes the latest Seth Walker mystery so enjoyable. Author Joseph Reid has written two stories, one about Walker's search, in his current job as an air marshal, for the missing man, the other a character study that focuses on Walker's prior life in the cutthroat world of high tech. Of course, the mysterious engineer has his own demons, and Jackson's delivery blends all of the characters and their worlds well. He uses an assured tone in the present, while channeling Walker's mistrust of the tech world with a measured hesitancy that gives the audiobook its memorable voice.
