Amazing story, well paced and suspenseful, and the best narrator around! The only problem with Dunning is we don't get enough new books!

Dunning is the Best!

Interesting view into the world of book reselling and book collecting. I was amazed at how this works and how much money there really is in books. Totally unexpected ending. Well played.

I really enjoyed looking at the world of rare books from this author's perspective. I found the mystery good, with just the right twists and turns. I would recommend reading this book before the others in the series. It makes more sense that way.

I was looking for books narrated by George Guidall, and found this one. Thought I'd give it a try, and ended up loving the writing style and story. Mr. Guidall made it a five star audible book. An additional surprise, and bonus, was that it was a free book.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!
