Publisher's summary

The trouble at the Conlee’s lakeside estate begins when vandals topple and destroy an expensive Italian fountain. Then they slash the tires and damage the paint job on a Jaguar. That’s when Roy Ballard's client, the insurance company, asks him to catch the vandal in the act and prevent future claims.

Surprisingly, the homeowner, Norman Conlee, opposes the idea. He intends to address the problem himself by fencing the property and keeping his revolver handy. Eventually, though, he gives in, and Roy goes to work. It’s not long before the case escalates in a way nobody saw coming. Roy will need some luck to close this case before he winds up a victim himself.

A Great Mystery

I loved this audiobook. The murder mystery is complicated and intriguing.I Iike mysteries that keep me guessing until the end, which this book delivers. Johnny Peppers does a great job with the narration and voices bringing this book to life.

it takes a village

Vigilante justice or mercy killing?? There were so many twists and turns in this web of deception that involved many people. Luck was on this PI's side. There were so many times things could have gone left. I liked that he doesn't back down regardless of danger to himself, and he stays on it until he gets the answers. This was a suspenseful interesting story that I enjoyed listening to. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

Roy Ballard!

Better to Be Lucky is the 7th Roy Ballard book that I've listened to. I really enjoy Ben Rehder's writing style and find Johnny Peppers to be the voice of Roy. I had not expected the directions the book would go, and totally enjoyed it.
