WOULD YOU START A WAR TO AVENGE YOUR BROTHER'S MURDER?

Ian Softley is a killer. He's the man governments call when they want somebody dead. His is a life of intimidation and brutality, of beatings and executions—including, ultimately, his own.

Jack Softley's life is a world away from his brother's. A high school English teacher, devoted father, and all-round nice guy, Jack tries to stay as far from trouble as possible. But when he receives word that Ian has been murdered, he finds himself dragged into a storm of violence and danger.

Because the same people who killed his brother want him dead too.

Hunted by government agents and brutal assassins, Jack must discover the truth about Ian's dark past if he wants to stay alive. But Ian isn't the only Softley to have secrets. Jack hasn't always been a teacher. He hasn't always been a nice guy.

And when push comes to shove, he doesn't do things softly.

The first audiobook in Alex Smith's unputdownable Softley Softley series. If you like brutal action, pulse-pounding suspense, and stories that never stop for breath, you're going to love this electrifying thriller. Featuring a guest appearance by DCI Robbie Kett, from Alex Smith's internationally bestselling crime thrillers!

Very engaging story about 2 brothers who veer in 2 different directions while being dedicated to one another. Lots of twists in the story. Listened to it in one day-could not turn it off.

Firstly, Colin Mace did a really good job narrating! It was my first time listening to him, but it won't be my last. I will definitely have to check out other books narrated by him.

The book itself was superb, Alex Smith never fails to capture his audience's hearts and minds. This is a true thriller and one heck of a ride! Definitely give it a go, and then check out his DCI Kett series! You won't regret it!

I LOVED this! Would love more!

I read everything JD Kirk offers and he has mentioned Alex Smith a few times. This offering was free on Audible Plus so I gave it a try. Impressed. Decent writing, well developed plot and characters I'm willing to get to know better. The English teacher was at once dense, yet skilled (or maybe just lucky). Either way, it was a little implausible. But that's a small complaint and Ill add other Alex Smith books to my wish list.

Narration worked well for the plot.

Quick, Engaging Listen
