About this listen

It's been seven years since Jack McMorrow left New York for small-town Maine. His years of stringing stories and murders together in the backwoods has been an adventure, sure, but they have also put a big dent in his bank account. In this, the sixth installment of the popular Jack McMorrow series, McMorrow is hired back at The New York Times to cover his old Metro beat. Unsure at first, Jack soon regains his journalistic footing and settles into the incessant hustle and flow of the city. When the mayor is murdered in a hotel restroom, Jack thinks he is working on the ultimate cover story. Instead, Jack is about to become the prime murder suspect in his own newspaper story. Called an outstanding crime novel by Booklist when it was first published in 2000, Cover Story is Boyle at his best. This new edition includes a new introduction by the author.

Jack is back in NYC, but supposed to be only visiting this time. He thinks he's going back to Maine soon, but a good friend has been framed for murder and only Jack is sure that it is a frame. Up against the NYPD and the political machine, it is tough to ferret out the proof that will stand up in court. Plenty of plot twists and red herrings to keep the suspense going!
Michael A. Smith is the narrator who brings the characters to life.

When am I going to learn to not listen to the audiobooks? The basic narration is okay but once he does ”voices” it all becomes bizarre. Every female sounds ridiculous. What should have been NYC accents sounded like Mainers. Why did the Times Editor always lose her g’s, as in doin’ and writin’? And the only woman who sounded normal was Christina because it appears a woman read those parts.

The story itself was decent. Jack was out of his quiet life in Prosperity, enjoying New York City. Meeting up with an old friend from childhood sets him on a crazy search for clues to help that friend out. He runs into police, bad guys, an old flame, and an assortment of good and bad people. It’s a wild ride.

Pretty good story

I was pulled into all the drama and danger. I didn't have a clue. Very suspenseful and action packed. This is a great series to follow. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life

payback???
