About this listen

His name is Mason Sharpe. Victims take heart—bad guys take cover.

Army veteran Mason Sharpe's world is turned upside down when his beloved fiancée is killed in a random shooting. Struggling to cope with his grief, Sharpe instinctively heads for the North Carolina town where he and his bride had planned to honeymoon.

Alone on a beach, contemplating a future which now seems bleak and empty, he stares into the abyss. But then…

A body washes ashore. An investigation begins and the police quickly pronounce an accidental death. But Mason isn't buying it. He believes the man was murdered and someone is trying to cover it up.

As Mason presses the point, it soon becomes clear that the locals want him gone—and they're ready to use force to run him off.

But Mason isn't the kind of man to be pushed around. He'll deal with this problem the only way he knows: Point Blank.

Point Blank—book 1 of the superb Mason Sharpe action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Jason Kasper & David Archer.

Good

I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was hard to listen to the narrator but after a bit, it grew on me. The story was a good one! I enjoyed it after all.

Wow

A tiny bit of a slow start, and then the excitement begins, and it doesn’t end. Beautiful ending.

Fantastic book

This is my first book by this author, and I was pleasantly surprised. Phoenix police detective, Mason Sharpe, responded to an active shooter at a school. Mason was able to take down the shooters, but not before they took the life of his fiancé. On disability leave, he decides to go to the small NC beach town of Eastport, where he was supposed to spend his honeymoon. Mason is contemplating suicide when a body washes up on the beach. He isn’t impressed with the police department and then ruling the death a suicide. Mason starts his own investigation, which leads to car chases, and lots of fights with bad guys. Great book.

Solid Action Adventure

A police officer and former US Army Ranger responds to a school shooting at his fiance's school, and while he stops that, his wife is fatally injured. After release from the hospital, he visits the North Carolina shore where they had planned to honeymoon.

Shortly after arriving, he finds a body in the surf, that does not seem to have died of natural causes. After the local police seem curiously uninterested in investigating thoroughly, he undertakes that investigation himself.

The protagonist is an interesting choice for an action/adventure novel, in that he is tormented by his recent past and that drives his actions here. He experiences significant character growth through the course of the story, which increases reader interest. The supporting characters were more of a mixed bag. None of them was particularly strong other than the retired Coast Guardsman, who we only see onscreen for a few scenes.

The plot is fairly pedestrian and surprising only in that it took an experienced investigator so long to figure out what was going on. But the plot beats were reasonably well handled and the pacing was very good. The action scenes were believable, showing a very competent protagonists who is not omnipotent.

I will be continuing this series. Recommended.

Pretty Good

This was a pretty enjoyable read overall. It was a bit plot thin in some spots and could have used better character development. There was good action and a satisfying ending.
