About this listen

Government assassins target Finn.

Finn and Mary are relaxing on their boat in the British Virgin Islands when Finn’s former employer sends a death squad to kill him. With Mary's help, Finn makes quick work of the assassins, but he knows there will be more to come.

Mary has his back, but she’s wrestling with a problem of her own. A former colleague has offered her an opportunity to take up her old career as a contract killer. The payoff is high enough to raise her suspicions, and the target won't be specified until she accepts the contract.

Should Mary take the offer? Join them for a cruise through the islands as they look for answers.

Killers and Keepers is a fast-paced sailing adventure set in the Eastern Caribbean. It's an exciting escape to the islands, and you don't even have to leave home. Perfect for fans of travel adventure and sea stories, Killers and Keepers will keep you guessing right up until the end.

Well-written.

Another great Finn & Mary adventure! Held my attention throughout.

David Bosco brought the characters to life with his narrating.

Can’t get enough!!

This is the sixth book I have read/listened to by this author and I would listen to every book in this series. I’d love to see what else he comes up with. I can’t say this type of book is my norm to listen to. I only initially listened because the narrator suggested it to me and I was giving his narration another try. The book seemed intriguing, so I gave it a go. I’ve loved this series from book one. The nonchalance, the mystery, the questionable motives of characters- all has drawn me in. There is not always a lot of action or huge progression in the overall plot from book to book, but I enjoy that. It’s like a casual stroll through these characters lives, sailing speed not race car.

This is the eleventh book I have listened to by this narrator ( David Bosco ) and I look forward to each one.
He is Finn and his portrayal is spot on how I’d imagine this character to be. In fact all the characters in this book. His cadence is great. His character voices are great.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. Some mild swearing.

And the story continues

Finn and Mary these two never cease to amaze. It seems as though trouble finds them they don’t have to seek it out. But I’m glad this has opened the door to a new book. How this author does it I’ll never know but he puts a spin on all the misadventures one could ever hope to find on the high seas. And the narrator does a beautiful job with each story.
This book also put some light on Mary’s childhood and why she is the killer she is. Keep up the good work Finn and Mary I hope to never meet you in person.
I was gifted this book by the author or narrator for an honest review.

Espionage on the Sea

Finn and Mary are back with their espionage shenanigans. In this book there is more action than last book, enjoyable due to the characters especially Finn and Mary who are killing or running. Would you kill someone for a million dollars? Recommend if you enjoy an intense espionage mystery on the seas with good narration.

Story pulls you in...Finn & Mary are keepers!

Killers and Keepers (J.R. Finn Sailing Mystery Series, Book 6) by Charles Dougherty and narrated by David Bosco was another one I couldn’t put down once I started it. You’ll find yourself rooting for the assassins (Mary and Finn) and they are definitely keepers! Highly recommend this series if you’ve been following it or are looking for something in the genre. 4 ½ stars for story, 5 stars narration.

What’s it about? Finn and Mary are relaxing as best as two assassins can when Nora’s replacements begin to hunt Finn. From there, the fast-paced adventures begin. You get new characters and previous ones make appearances (Aaron, Island Dream- she’s a character, right? 😊). I love that despite this being the sixth book in the series, I still am wary of Mary and her intentions at times. As with the previous books, there is sailing terminology, but it shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve made it this far or are new to sailing as you’ve likely heard the terms before.

The narrator, David Bosco, did a fantabulous job! He brings the characters to life. There’s a nice variety of distinct voices in this book. He has a way of drawing you into the story and it’s like you’re right there with Finn and Mary. Highly recommend you give his books a listen if you haven’t.

My only complaint is sometimes the logistics are explained a little too much in the beginning of the book (what’s said doesn’t need to be said as Finn and Mary have went through similar things before/they’ve worked together enough that it shouldn’t need to be said with as much detail), but at the same time, it’s part of what makes the book and you should def be listening to this series.

Overall, I highly recommend this series for sailing and mystery fans, or if you’re just looking to expand into a new series. I love it and am going to miss Finn and Mary when their adventures are over (hopefully not for a while).

Oh, Yeah!!

In the middle of triple digit temperatures, I kept comfortable and satisfied listening to the sixth book in the Finn Sailing Mystery Series. (What heatwave??!!)

Finn and Mary, never ones to back down from a fight, are more hunted than hunting in this listen. Spies, drug lords, kidnappers and other bad guys all vie to bring the duo assassins down. It was a thrill listening to them try.

The narrator is still the special that makes these stories work. If you're going to root for an assassin (two actually), once those roles are well-written, they must be well-performed. Bosco is at the top of his game as Finn!

There are two more books in the series. Yay for me!!

Another hit in this wonderful series

I love this series!! Finn and Mary continue their adventures and I continue to enjoy their story. They never fail to keep my interest from the start of the book right on to the end. The people they encounter, the mystery and suspense and their love story make for a good book. As always, David Bosco does a fine job narrating this series!

Love This Series

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and any opinions expressed herein are my own.

One of my favorite series - with great MCs Finn and Mary. Mary has been made an offer of a million dollars for an assassination with no further details. I really enjoy the back and forth thought processes in the character discussions. I am so into this series that I find myself still questioning whether Finn and the team should really trust Mary. While I loved it, I felt that the story was wrapped up a bit quickly and neatly. Looking forward to the next in the series.

The narrator, David Bosco, is so great in this series. He, to me, is the voice of Finn.

Love it

I love this series. All of the voices are brought to life by David Bosco who just so happens to be an amazing narrator.
The story seemed to all wrap up rather quickly. This one didn’t have nearly as much action as past installments. Finn and Mary are going from port to port and trouble always finds them even when that aren’t looking for it. Can’t wait for the next one!
