Publisher's summary
Gerry Boyle is at the top of his form in the riveting Petty Dead, his seventh novel to feature Maine crime reporter Jack McMorrow.
When Jack's significant other, social service worker Roxanne Masterson, investigates allegations of physical abuse concerning the young daughter of Boston bluebloods David and Maddie Connelly, Jack senses a story. And it's a story he gets, but not the one he'd figured on. Jack and Roxanne are invited to a weekend retreat at the Connellys' Blue Harbor estate, during which a beautiful young staff member steals the show, but soon winds up dead.
Jack and Roxanne delve into all the unpleasant possibilities, but heavy muscle shows up to discourage Jack's search, and a phone message soon forces him to put his cards on the table and the Connellys to unveil a dark secret from the past that could destroy far more than the family image. In the end, Jack must decide just where to draw the line between his friendship with the Connellys and his responsibility as a journalist to write the truth.

Set in the wilds of Maine, this is an explosive tale of an estranged son thrust into the hunt for a murderous fugitive - his own father. Game warden Mike Bowditch returns home one evening to find an alarming voice from the past on his answering machine: his father, Jack, a hard-drinking womanizer who makes his living poaching illegal game. An even more frightening call comes the next morning from the police: They are searching for the man who killed a beloved local cop the night before - and his father is their prime suspect.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Now, someone has uncovered the lies, and it is his murder that continues a chain of events that began almost 40 years ago.

Twists and turns!
Held my attention throughout. Would prefer less swearing.
Michael A Smith did a good job narrating and bringing the characters to life.

greed
I didn't like Angel from the start with her interactions with Jack, so I felt some vindication when her story came up. Same with her friend Monica!!! They wanted it all and got it. So many greedy backstabbers. How do you rationalize these action, just because someone has money it's okay to extort them???? Sick. I was disappointed in David's lack of integrity on the banks in relation to Jack, Rox, and Clair, especially after the way they tried to help the couple!! Wth???? I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Good series
Jack is looking into the case of an elite parents of a girl and what she is saying. With the bruises on her shoulders she can’t be making it up. This 7 th book takes Jack into a darker side of investigation. Good series and good narration. Given audio for my voluntary review

Good story; narration not so much
Good story. Horrid narration. 3.5 rounded up.
Too many pronunciation errors. Chatham, Dorchester, Brooklin come to mind. Plus the women’s voices are terrible.
That aside, the story was interesting. I had no clue who did it until the end.

Ok read, not super engaging
Parents: R - This in not for kids. It has Very Strong bad language (including f-bombs). The violence is moderate and then you have the sexual content: Boobs, nakedness, and sexual suggestive contents.
Narrator: differentiations were not the best, the subbed-in female voices we tinny and sounded out of place.
The story is a decent mystery albeit a bit choppy. Not the best mystery I’ve read recently but still enjoyable if you can drag your way through the slower chunks.
