THE DEAL GOES DOWN Tony Casella, Book 4

Paul Heitsch is the perfect narrator for this mystery packed full of dark humor and intrigue. PI Tony Casella's goal of living a quiet, solitary life is turned upside down when an apparent chance meeting on a train draws him into the business of murder for hire. Heitsch's strong characterization creates a highly believable and likable lead character in Casella, a man who is battling grief and loss, as well as coming to terms with aging. Yet he still has a wry way of looking at the world. Heitsch's characterizations of the lead female characters are particularly notable. With Heitsch's excellent use of authentic-sounding accents and spot-on timing, listeners are in for a thoroughly enjoyable listen. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2023]
