Publisher's summary

Not since Dashiell Hammet’s characters Nick and Nora Charles has a couple exchanged so much biting banter in the course of solving a murder mystery.

Capturing the turbulence of Southeast DC and the opulence of Georgetown, Knight & Day richly evokes the contrast between the mean streets of Washington and the corridors of power on Capitol Hill.

Jerry Knight is the “Night Talker”, the opinionated right-wing host of America’s most popular all-night radio talk show. Jane Day is a thoroughly liberated and thoroughly liberal woman, a very ambitious reporter for the Washington Post. When a prominent environmentalist is murdered, Knight and Day race against a deadline, and each other, to solve a mystery that goes straight to the Hill.

Critic reviews

Knight & Day is a story as current as today’s headlines, with characters as contemporary as tomorrow’s news. The gender chemistry of Knight & Day, their needling banter gives verbal foreplay a whole new meaning. A great mystery.” (Steve Martini, New York Times best-selling author)
“Great characters and a zing of a plot. You’ll read it nonstop. Enjoy.” (Larry King)
“And you think Matalin and Carville are the political odd couple? Wait until you read Knight & Day! Here’s a thriller worthy of the big screen. Suspenseful, romantic and funny in the Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy genre.” (Kitty Kelley, New York Times best-selling author)

Clever Premise,

This is the first in a series. I liked the idea of a female, liberal, newbie journalist at the Washington Post, a male conservative radio talk show host, and a veteran almost burned out D.C. cop solving a murder together, even though they didn't really work together, being at odds with each other through most of the story.

All the characters were a bit over-the-top. Hopefully, the rough edges get smoothed somewhat in the next books. The story was good, but fairly predictable which is why I held it ti three stars. I am a tough rater.

So overall, not a great listen but good enough to make me want to read another by these authors.

Narrator was fine. No complaints about him at all.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
