    About this audiobook

    After the death of his wife, a grieving Lew Fonesca drives from Chicago until his car gives out in the parking lot of a Sarasota, Florida, Dairy Queen. Trying to avoid his emotions and rebuild his life, he takes up work as a freelance process server. One of the attorneys he works for gives him his first case: A local entrepreneur's trophy wife has gone missing, and Fonesca must locate her. At the same time, a mother comes to him for help locating her runaway underage daughter, whom she fears has been sold into vice. Both cases are more complex than they seem, and Fonesca is kept in plenty of danger. Nonetheless, with a colorful bunch of secondary characters to help him, he'll solve both of them.

    • 5/5
      I felt the presence of real people from beginning to end.
    • 3/5
      This is my first book by this very talented writer. I can see why he he won many awards and had a successful career.Now I can stop being nice. This series stars a likable, pathetic, depressed, loner, loser of a man, who spends what change he finds on the sidewalk on a cheap shrink. She is wonderful unless you want results. He spends his off hours riding a bicycle (cars cost money) and brooding about his dead wife. After leaving the dump called Chicago he landed in Sarasota FL. He feels the town is just bad enough to match his slide to nothingness. Wow! He finds himself in danger but refuses take proper precautions. The thought of a gun makes his girl parts hurt. He will rely on strong women and tough men to do what a Chicago boy can't do for himself. That's just the first half of the book. In my quest to find another good thriller writer I will try an earlier book by this author. I'm not impressed with this later work. His writing style is very good.
    • 4/5
      Highly entertaining with local Sarasota flavor. well-written murder mystery and likeable protagonist (Lew Fonseca)
    • 3/5
      A Lew Fonesca novel. Typically quirky Kaminsky characters with a decent plot and clever dialogue. Kaminsky grows on you with each additional book, whether it's the dimunutive Lew Fonesca/Toby Peters protagonists or the one legged Russian inspector Rostnikov (?)
    • 5/5
      The first Lew Fonesca Mystery. Kaminsky has created another very interesting and tormented lead character surrounded by many other strange and intriguing supporting characters. Lew, a process server who is good at finding people, is hired by a woman to find her teenage daughter. Fonesca finds her (Adele) and rescues her from an abusive father and life of prostitution.
