About this listen

She fought for her country. Now she’s fighting for her family.

When Sergeant Charlie McCabe returns from fighting in Afghanistan, she hopes to leave the war behind. Instead, she comes home to a father whose gambling has put him in deep trouble with a violent loan shark. She finds work as a professional bodyguard, but to save her father, she needs to get serious cash together fast.

However, her father isn’t the only one who needs saving. When Charlie’s first client - a wealthy executive with a shady past - narrowly escapes a bomb plot, Charlie’s investigation leads her into the heart of Boston’s criminal underworld. Along the way, she stumbles upon clues about a diamond heist gone wrong that’s been unsolved for decades.

With the clock ticking and chaos descending, Charlie sees a solution to both problems, but it won’t be easy, and it won’t be pretty. A “normal” life may await Charlie on the other side of this mess, but part of her knows that the battle has just begun.

Excellent first in a series... GREAT FIND!

I really enjoyed THE LOOT by Craig Schaefer. I've never listened to anything by this author before but will be looking at his previous books now.
The publisher gives a pretty comprehensive summary and to add to it would only provide spoilers.
The book is fast paced. Plenty of action, ammunition, hand to hand and strategizing.
Susannah Jones does an excellent job narrating.
If you have kindle unlimited this book is FREE to borrow with the kindle edition.

Really good Kindle Unlimited book

Lately it's been a struggle to find any thing worth using my audible credits on. This mystery had a good story, good narration and an interesting female heroine. Plus it's free with Kindle Unlimited.

Great

I like Charlie a lot. She is fun and realistic for a fictional hero. The characters around her are interesting. And the situation was only a bit far fetched.

Really Excellent!

There is no voice actor more fun to go on an adventure with than Susannah Jones! If there is anyone better than her in the business, it's difficult to think who. It's fun studying her craft to try to understand just how she reels you into the stories she narrates. Craig Schaefer gives her a great story and wonderful characters to work with! I think Schaefer has the potential to go through the roof, and so I'll offer this one bit of constructive criticism: There were a #few# passages towards the end that felt a little facile and didn't ring fully true to me as a listener, although I LOVE the moral ambiguities Charlie is forced to wade through! Overall, I'm buying what you're selling and am in for as many of these as you're willing to write - Thank You!!
