The chain-smoking private eye of noir is teleported to the 2020s. Some men want to take over the world. Others want to watch it burn. But those men aren’t Dick Winchester. No, his goal is much simpler: to take his underground food delivery service into the mainstream and overthrow the app-based fat cats dominating Arlington, Virginia. By force, if necessary. Follow Dick as he fights to make a name for himself in the digital age of convenience. And watch as he manages to make an enemy out of just about everyone, from local bar owners to the military-industrial complex.

A Promising Opening!
Revisado: 10-10-24
The Opening Salvo is a satirical noir set in the modern day, and it's also the funniest thing I've listened to all year. This book juxtaposes the real world with an absurdist alternate reality where food delivery apps are literally warring in the streets—the concept is wild, but it's so well executed that you can't help but question the motives of your local Doordash driver. Perhaps my favorite feature of this book is the way that the author skillfully bounces around to different formats—from a screenplay to an employee handbook to the classic short story—the pieces of Dick Winchester's arc fall together in a way that is fun, interesting, and refreshing. The Narrarator did a fantastic job of bringing the character and this zany world to life, and kept up brilliantly with the fun atmosphere of the book. It was truly a joy to listen to and I already can't wait for book 2!

Seventeen-year-old Laura Jones has always heard the echoes of the past wherever she goes. She’s gotten used to them, of course, and has learned how to live a relatively normal life despite hearing last year’s teachers in her classrooms, the past chatting in the hallways, and even herself talking to her family at home during years prior.

A Unique and Fun Listen!
Revisado: 04-12-24
Echoes is a Young Adult novel about 17-year-old Laura, a girl who can hear echoes -when she enters a room, it is already full of all the noise that occurred in years prior. Such an ability is often more of a curse than a gift, as the noise is chaotic and distracting more often than helpful. However, one day Laura begins to hear the echoes of herself, interacting with a boy named Maverick - but she doesn't remember these interactions. The book is a mystery just as much as it is a thriller - who was Maverick? What happened? Is Laura being followed?
Echoes is a brilliant and creative debut novel by Marissa Lete. The premise is so unique, and the writing is funny, witty, and suspenseful. I recommend this book to fans of YA novels - Echoes has everything you're looking for! It has romantic banter, thrilling chases, unexpected twists, and of course, a sprinkle of good, old-fashion high school drama!

A Bloody Good Time!
Revisado: 04-12-24
A Bloody Business is a fast-paced, genre-bending anthology about a hitman who seems to always find himself smack in the middle of major historical events. It's thriller meets historical fiction meets dark comedy, and the result is a series that will make you laugh and then immediately after say, "oh that's gotta hurt."
It's bloody and humorous, but the book is also not afraid of going on more serious directions at times, pointing out certain truths such as the destructive nature of war, or the morality of living life as a hitman. These things truly put the dark in the book's dark humor.
The narrator did a fantastic job bringing all of the different characters to life, and adding energy to the fast paced novel! he has a great voice and I was left wanting to listen to more of it!
Overall, this book is a fun and interesting read with layers and reoccurring characters that draw you in again and again. I would recommend this book for history buffs and thriller lovers who don't mind a little blood on their shoes.
