Drue Campbell’s life is adrift. Out of a job and down on her luck, life doesn’t seem to be getting any better when her estranged father, Brice Campbell, a flamboyant personal injury attorney, shows up at her mother’s funeral after a 20-year absence. Worse, he’s remarried - to Drue’s eighth-grade frenemy, Wendy, now his office manager. And they’re offering her a job. It seems like the job from hell, but the offer is sweetened by the news of her inheritance - her grandparents’ beach bungalow in the sleepy town of Sunset Beach.

Story
It's the middle of a sweltering late-summer heat wave in Los Angeles. In the nearby mountains, a seasonal wildfire burns out of control. If not for this fire, authorities might never have discovered wreckage of an Alfa Romeo convertible - or the body of the car's driver - in the dense underbrush at the bottom of Topanga Canyon. But when firefighters happen across the crash site while battling the nearby blaze, it's only a matter of time and basic forensics before the apparent accident is upgraded to homicide.

What Would You Do To Save A Loved One?
CW McCoy is an accomplished law-enforcement police officer. But after she shoots another officer, she turns everything in and moves to Florida, where her elderly grandfather lives.
Soon after she arrives, her grandfather is kidnapped. CW's is 'back' and all her vows she made about steering clear of anything to do with law enforcement again as she tries to hunt down his kidnapper.
This book reminded me of a book I read years ago. I had to look it up and it is Fallen by Karen Slaughter. A somewhat similar plot (but very, very different writing). When I was done and reflecting on what to write for this review I thought of another author whose characters bicker and just in a similar way. That would be Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series characters.
I am not insinuating AT ALL that this is a knock off. It is very well-written, in a unique style and when I compare this book to those great authors, I mean it as a high compliment.
Pamela Almand performs Peak Season in the authors style. A very good performance – both are really good and deserve good too high praise.
Movie rating? PG-13 because of the language at times, but overall there isn't too much to warn about.
*I listen and review many authors/narrators in exchange for my review, including this one. Some are incredibly awful, some fair, some good and some right out of the park. You will see this reflected in my reviews. I would rate Peak Season, a book I listen to in exchange for my review, as good.
I enjoy leaving reviews, as I know that I read them the reviews of others before I purchase a book. If you found my review helpful in your decision about this book, would you please select yes directly below this paragraph? Thank you so much.
Please consider "following me" here on Audible.com. I purchased a lot of books by authors that I am faithful to. I also have the opportunity to review books in all genres, many that I would not pick up on my own. I have been pleasantly surprised by new authors and narrators. Thanks!

Intricate, suspenseful, and haunting!
Where does Peak Season rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Peak Season is a wonderfully mysterious novel! The protagonist, CW McCoy, is a strong female lead who is both clever and strong willed. Very skillfully written; the characters are described in such detail that they feel real and relatable. The scenes are intricate, suspenseful, and haunting. This book has everything; mystery, romance, suspense, and murder! Overall, Peak Season was a very engaging read and I cannot wait to start the next novel.

CW McCoy can't run from her past
CW McCoy is great! Reader plays her with a swagger, but flawed and you keep turning the pages and cheering for her to make it. Widmer has created a great female character and a great setting full of Florida charm and tourist quirks. Good page-turner with lots of action, emotion, and characters and not over-the-top slease or sick gore.Give me more of CW! I want to hear the real McCoy! Great job from this author/narrator combo and I hope it will be a series!

what promises to be an interesting, fun series
Peak Season introduces Candace CW McCoy, an ex-cop, who gave up her job after she was forced to shoot a fellow policeman. She now lives with her grandfather "Pap" and is selling real estate in the tourist mecca of South Florida.
Accused of stealing millions from his investors, Bobby Lee Darby was presumed dead until he appears in CW's office demanding she prove his innocence. When CW declines, he kidnaps Pap forcing her into action. Aided and supported by a great cast of characters from her widowed friend Walter and his dog, to Oz, the nerdy but pretty hot IT guy, CW sets out to uncover the mystery of the missing money and to find her grandfather who requires constant care. As bodies start turning up, the local detective also starts showing an interest in CW and her involvement in the case.
Peak Season was a thoroughly entertaining cozy mystery with a likable protagonist who loves motorcycles, country music and has several potential love interests. She was an excellent character helping out an old lady who was feeding the Florida wildlife as well as her neighbor, a single Mum and cop who was having problems with her ex-husband. My only minor criticism, I found it hard to believe how calm and collected CW remained after her ailing grandfather was kidnapped, setting time aside to go out, have drinks and carry on with all sorts of other things. She was a bit too leisurely and laid-back considering the circumstances.
The author's descriptions and insights into the South West Florida setting were really interesting and provided another, completely different side to the book. Overall, a really good mystery that kept you guessing to the end interlaced with humor and sharp dialog.
The narration by Pamela Almand was excellent. She was a really good fit for the character of CW, and I was very impressed by her distinct and very authentic male voices. She had a great range of different voices and provided a clear and lively narration that was superb fun to listen to. There were no issues with the production.
All in all, a great start to what promises to be an interesting, fun series, and I look forward to finding out what Jeff Widmer has in store for CW in the future.

This is a good fast mystery
If you could sum up Peak Season in three words, what would they be?
characters, voices, page-turner
What did you like best about this story?
Good pace to it and you were never sure where it was going. CW is tough but funny and the narrator's tone fit great
What does Pamela Almand bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Good easy to listen to and the low voice is great for the lady cop with a kickass attitude. Doesn't try to make the guys all have deep voices and the girls all have high voices. At least there is some depth to the characters
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just enjoyed it and seemed like there would be a sequel since there were a few ends left hanging.
Any additional comments?
Great setting. And a good read for guys, too, even though the main voice is a woman. Comes across in the audiobook as tough but still a woman.

Peak season
Which scene was your favorite?
I am a avid fan of good mystery, with a bit of thriller tossed in. The author did a great job with the plot. Not a bad listen during a snow storm. I would like to see a follow up book. I will be on the look out.

Peak Season: A Cw McCoy Novel
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."
I like a good mystery, with a bit of thriller tossed in, and C. W. McCoy delivers, as she chases after the bad guys. Not a bad listen when trapped inside by an ice storm. I would like to see where this author would take the character in another novel.

Great ex-detective story!
Set in Florida, Candace McCoy works in real estate. She used to be a cop but gave it up after an unfortunate and intense situation. Then Bobby Lee Darby turns up on her doorstop. He was presumed dead after being involved in a money scam. He was hunted by the FBI and several unhappy investors. Now he insists that he’s innocent, someone else made off with that money, and he wants McCoy to look into it. She refuses until her grandfather, Pap, turns up missing. Darby is playing for keeps and McCoy is royally ticked off.
For the most part, I really enjoyed this story. The one aspect I didn’t care for was how nearly every male would make lewd comments towards McCoy, even her friend Walter. Some of the comments are just a bit flirtatious but others are way over the line. Not all men act like this, so why have them all do so (with the exception of Pap) in this story?
The mystery is pretty good. There’s plenty of suspects since the missing money is in the millions. Darby has a wife, two kids, a former business partner, and plenty of investors that want answers from him and their money back. Someone thinks McCoy has a key piece of info and her office and house get ransacked. Yet McCoy doesn’t know what it could be.
I totally thought the culprit was this one person and the plot showed me I was wrong. As the clues rush together, the suspense builds and builds. McCoy has to rush at the end to solve the mystery and keep the innocent safe.
I like the 2 minor side plots as well. McCoy is still wrestling with her final action as a cop and she hasn’t wanted to carry a weapon since then. Also, her good friend and neighbor (who is still on the force) has an abusive ex-husband. Both ladies have to face off with this brute.
All together, it held my attention the entire time. 4.5/5 stars.
The Narration: Pamela Almand makes a great Candace McCoy. She’s got the tough cop swagger that goes well with righteous confidence. Her male voices are believable. Almand has distinct voices for all characters and there were no technical issues with this recording. 5/5 stars.
