Thanks to his relationship with the ancient Druid Atticus O'Sullivan, Oberon the Irish wolfhound knows trouble when he smells it - and furthermore, he knows he can handle it. When he discovers that a prizewinning poodle has been abducted in Eugene, Oregon, he learns that it's part of a rash of hound abductions all over the Pacific Northwest. Since the police aren't too worried about dogs they assume have run away, Oberon knows it's up to him to track down those hounds and reunite them with their humans. For justice! And gravy!

A fun break from the Iron Druid Chronicles
Revisado: 08-06-18
This is a really fun and lighthearted sort story told from the perspective of Oberon. I really appreciated the skill it took to both write the story only using Oberon's voice as well as have him at the forefront of every plot advance. This book works either as a standalone brief introduction to the Iron Druid Chronicle or as a refreshing break from the more serious main series of books. I highly recommend it, as well as the next "Meaty Mystery" book which follows almost immediately after this one.

Jason Dunn is an executive overseeing billions of dollars flowing through his clients' accounts. He's perched high on the corporate ladder, but after one mistake he falls with a crash, barely keeping his job. When his new lover has an idea to cash in and disappear with her, the temptation to burn the institution that burned him is too enticing to resist.

Entertaining thriller
Revisado: 04-12-14
Would you listen to Cash Burn again? Why?
If I was looking for an entertaining thriller to listen to with others or to distract me, say on a long car trip, I would definitely consider Cash Burn again. As far my regular audiobook consumption I think think most of the books appeal comes from the first listen, when the characters and story are still unknown.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
If you enjoy thrillers like those by Clive Cussler or John Grisham then I would recommend Cash Burn. It is a fun paperback listen. If you're looking for something deep or substantial this isn't it.
To me the first half of the story was slower than I would have liked and as a result it took awhile to get pulled into the story. The second half, while more exciting, felt contrived (in a Clive Cussler kind of way, which isn't necessarily bad for thrillers). About half way through, when a major plot element was added, I almost immediately had a pretty good idea how it was going to end.
What about Jeff Hays’s performance did you like?
Jess Hays did an excellent job narrating. It seemed like he thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and it was definitely NOT a monotone or boring narration. His rendition was very active and helped make the story more exciting!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The first half of the book was slow and I kept putting it down. The second half was much more exciting and despite knowing where the story was going I definitely wanted to finish it all one sitting.
Any additional comments?
I think Cash Burn was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining thriller.
