Ex-St. Paul cop Rushmore McKenzie has more time, and more money, than he knows what to do with. In fact, when he’s willing to admit it to himself (and he usually isn’t), Mac is downright bored. Until he decides to do a favor for a friend facing a family tragedy: Nine-year-old Stacy Carlson has been diagnosed with leukemia, and the only one with the matching bone marrow that can save her is her older sister, Jamie. Trouble is, Jamie ran away from home years ago.

Mac begins combing the backstreets of the Twin Cities, tracking down Jamie’s last known associates. He starts with the expected pimps and drug dealers, but the path leads surprisingly to some of the Cities’ most respected businessmen, as well as a few characters far more unsavory than the street hustlers he anticipated. As bullets fly and bodies drop, Mac persists, only to find that what he’s looking for, and why, are not exactly what he’d imagined.

David Housewright’s uncanny ability to turn the Twin Cities into an exotic, brooding backdrop for noir fiction, and his winning, witty hero Rushmore McKenzie, serve as a wicked one-two punch in A Hard Ticket Home, a series debut that reinforces Housewright’s well-earned reputation as one of crime fiction’s stars.

Dear God: Please let this man write another book soon and please let me be here to listen to it. I can't say something like 'even his worst book is good' because I can't think of anything he's done that is worse than anything else.

Before I post this list I have to say that Sandford, Parker and MacDonald are EXTRA special. And Richard Ferrone as John Sandford's voice is an amazing match. Like George Guidall with Craig Johnson and pretty much anything George reads.

Robert B. Parker lived in this space for me as did John D. MacDonald, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, John Hart, Craig Johnson, John Lescroart, William Kent Krueger Ridley Pearson ,and Jonathan Kellerman. Some others are really good but these guys have something special. If you are into mystery-thrillers I just gave you a back catalog I wish I could have...but I HAVE had it and it is an incredible treasure. I stopped going to libraries and swap places just so I can encourage these guys by sending them money. Please enjoy.

My "Prayer Review" Happy to add a new guy to it.

How much if this book is just a man driving around describing the local geography - like when a rock band shouts out the name of the city they're playing in.. FALCON HEIGHTS! MINNEHAHA FALLS! It doesn't seem forced at all. Sadly, the narrator has the strangest, wooden, I'm-always-practically-shouting, delivery. That, and he doesn't know how to pronounce "Lake Minnetonka"? Unforgivable. "As I drove north on Snelling Avenue past the Minnesota State Fair I thought about eating cheese curds and listening to the Cannon Mess on WCCO AM radio, just as someone hit me on the head again and I lost consciousness". Maybe Google street view has an audio track? Now that you mention it, having Alexa read the book out loud would definitely be an improvement.

Minnesota nice semi-hard boiled detective

This is not a new book, only new to Audible. I really enjoyed it. I have listened to other books on Audible by Housewright and have never been disappointed. I’m glad to see the entire McKenzie series is scheduled for release and I will be purchasing them all. If you like a good PI mystery with well developed believable characters this is the book.
Brent Hinkle does an outstanding job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Finally on Audible...

Arthur highly spoke of n local newspaper. Said series was fantastic. Started with 1 in the series. Story ok. Way too many old unoriginal saying and cliches. But the reader was just terrible. Could not tell which character was speaking. Will try another one but not much expected without out new reader.

Not what I expected

The book kept me engaged enough but not a hang on by the seat of your pants read. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could

Not a Bad Read

Other reviews refer favorably to David Housewright books in a series. Didn’t find a lot to like with this one. Maybe I better read another one in the series before I write him off. Being from the Twin Cities, I am critical of narrator mispronunciations like “Wabasha” and Interstate 35 East & 35 West. Even though the E & W mean East & West, I have never heard one Twin Cities resident say anything but 35E or 35W. The author had no hand in those but editing should have caught them. If in California, it would sound equally silly calling Interstate 10 or Interstate 405 anything different than “The 10” or “The 405”. Housewright’s layering of the danger and killing is too much for me. Sorta like what has happened to Reacher’s character. Over the top and gratuitous, as are the descriptions of fighting moves and the numerous cliches. It could be a good story but too much for me.

Completely Improbable Story

Liked the story but the narrator needs to do some research on how cities are pronounced if you are going to rattle them off in the book. I grew up in Minnetonka and worked in Shakopee. He mispronounced both of them.

The story was good

I like that reference a lot of places in Minnesota. He was a very tough cop, and it came through the story.

A good read

A HARD TICKET HOME is Book 1 in David Housewright's 17 novel Mac McKenzie series. I highly recommend the novel! Read the publisher's summary and the review by Audible listener Shelley for more info. As far as I can tell this is the first book narrated by actor Brent Hinkley who does a great job.

Exvellent modern (PI) Detective novel!

This was worrisome. Every derelict, crook, or undesirable person was of color. Cops all white. And comments about women were so offensive. “Who wants to sleep with a fat woman anyway?“ I had to stop, it was so intolerable and disrespectful.

Racially & sexually offensive
