About this listen

Tom Kendall had been with the 32nd Precinct, New York Police Department, for just under 10 years. But now he wanted a change. Now he wanted to start his own private detective agency.

He had grand ideas. He wasn’t interested in just any old case. Oh no, he would handle only the big-time cases, the expensive ones. He would be able to take his pick, the ones that he wanted, where the stakes were high and so were the rewards. He knew exactly the kind of case that he wanted.

Anything else would not do, and it would just be turned down flat.

Although a standalone novel, this is the fifth Tom Kendall novel.

It's Okay

I have read most of the books in this series. They can be read as a stand alone book very easily, I do find the fact that all of the books have had a different narrator a little strange. Most of the time the narrator stays the same and that gives the books a consistency. It also helps you relate to the main characters because they sound the same and your mind says oh I know them. The narrator for this book has a good voice and I enjoyed listening to him. Kolyn Marshall does a good job. The story line is okay. I was gifted this book from the author with the understanding that I would leave an honest review

A 5* read/listen.

Kendall: Kendall, Book 5. Kendall isn't a hero who is instantly likeable but he grows on you both him & Molly.
You can read this as a stand alone novel as it recalls the beginnings of Kendall PI.
This is a must read for anyone who liked "Columbo" . John Holt is masterful at this genre.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.

Love the character Molly

John Holt old fashion detective story tell how Kendall setup his private eye business. I feel that this book should’ve been the first book in the series but for some reason it is book5. Probably due to the order they was written in.

I love Molly character. I can just picture her guiding Kendall in his everyday life.

There is no corse Language in it, or sex scenes. Although there is some violence it does not go into great details. And because of this I feel that this story could be read by young adults as well.

This is John third book I have read and I have enjoyed it them all.

Narrator Kolyn Marshall again does a good job bringing the characters alive with their own individual voices.

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher free of charge for a honest, unbiased review.

Kendall (Kendall Book 5) was a good read by John Holt. Tom Kendall has worked with the New York Police Department’s 32nd Precinct for just under ten years. But he’s looking for a change and decides to start his own Private Detective Agency. He decides he will only handle the big time cases and the expensive ones. This was a great read by the author and I cant wait to read more.

Very good story

This tale is every bit as good as the others in the series. You can bet that all of them are very entertaining.

Suspense and Intrigue

The story involves a police officer seeking to develop his own private investigator service associated with high profile cases. The plot is suspenseful and held my interest with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. Although associated within a series of books, this particular story is the first that I have listened from this author and found it to serve well as a stand alone. Definitely a gooychoice for mystery and adventure lovers. I received this audio for the purpose of review and opinions and thoughts were my own and unsolicited

the story is great

the story and plot is great. very believable and realistic. the narrator does a disservice in many places by missing places that obviously require a pause and just reading through the pause. other than that it's worth the credit to listen to the book, family friendly for a drive and well done.

A new start

So many times I wanted to ductape Mollie's big mouth shut. I found her pushy, manipulative, and annoying. She micromanaged and bargained up for a job position she had no qualifications for. Grrr... Obviously I didn't like her or her tactics. I enjoyed Kendall and his fly by the seat of your pants methods. lol. Endearing. I enjoyed his perseverance , even as he was wanting the safety of his old job back . I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review.
