Matthew Worth is a mess. Somewhere between a good cop and a bad screwup, he botched a marriage and a career. His fellow officers think he’s a joke. His commanders are tired of cutting him breaks. Even his wife has left him for a flashy homicide detective. Busted to night patrol at a robbery-prone Omaha supermarket, Worth is doing time, wearing his uniform and asking shoppers if they want paper or plastic. If that isn’t enough, he suspects he might be falling for Gwen, the shy checkout girl who may be an even bigger mess than he is. It couldn’t get any worse. Until it does. When Gwen comes to him one night scared and desperate for help, Worth discovers just how far he’s willing to go to protect and serve. The next thing he knows, he’s driving a stolen car with a corpse in the trunk, a pistol in the glove box, and no way to turn back. Everything he doesn’t know could get them killed. And things haven’t even begun to get messy yet...

This is a intense modern crime drama set in Omaha, Neb. The audiobook is very well read. The story started slightly slowly, but that was probably necessary to build the foundation of the story. By the end I found the story to be the audiobook version of a "page turner".

I read and listened to this novel simultaneously. This is the first novel I have read by this author. I have already purchased a second novel.
If one likes modern American Noir Crime Drama, one may wish to consider this one. Thank You...

I felt that the book was predictable. i found it easty to follow and i could get back into it anywhere. not always a god thing for me.
The more complicated the story the more i go back to refresh what is happening and figure out the characters. These guys were pretty basic. It took about 5 days to get through listening on way to work and in free times.

I didn’t enjoy this reader as much as others

It could have been a five star book if the performance hadn’t been so distracting. At times it seemed like a computer was reading the book to you - like when your GPS uses the wrong pronunciation or cadence to familiar words.

Decent Story, Odd Naration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Plenty of plot twists and turns, a likable protagonist, solid narration that meanders and accelerates just as it should, colorful prose that supports the story and brings the characters to life- what more could I ask for? I thoroughly enjoyed this and highly recommend it.

A great listen- enjoyed every minute of this crime story
