About this listen

Three of a kind cozy murder mysteries.

Novella 1 - A presumed Russian spy is found tortured and shot in the face in his high-rise condominium in South Beach, Florida. Incredibly, the perpetrators of the gruesome murder correctly copied the manner in which the victim was killed, as described in best-selling author, Jack Ryder’s last novel. Jack is a 40-year-old divorcee, and a Wall Street retired financial analyst turned crime mystery writer. His new lifestyle does not include alarm clocks, suits, or ties. He's living carefree aboard a 40-four-foot yacht with his beagle Max, enjoying the peace of South Beach, and the clubs and ladies that abound the area. Logan Robert, former Army Special Forces and now homicide detective for the Miami Beach Police Department, gives Jack a choice: either be under suspicion for the murder or help solve this crime. But, there’s a condition - because of the Feds hovering around the MBPD station like flies on molasses, waiting to see what the MBPD uncovers, the murder investigation must be conducted from Jack’s boat, the Easy Ryder, docked at the Miami Beach Marina, while a bogus parallel investigation continues from the police station for the benefit of the Feds.

Jack wants no part of this. However, his choice of being embroiled in a murder inquiry with the Feds or helping solve the crime, especially one in which he feels plagiarized and violated, makes the decision obvious. Multi-award-winning author and master storyteller, Owen Parr, has a new hit series: Jack Ryder, Logan Robert Crime Mysteries. The Case of the Dead Russian Spy is book one in the novella series.

Novella 2 - On the first night of a private famly cruise, billionaire and family patriarch Gustav Inglenorth is found dead in his cabin, stabbed three times. This was supposed to be a private family cruise on the maiden voyage of The Majestic, a luxurious private yacht. Mr. Inglenorth was to reveal the content and distribution of the family trust to 15 members of the family traveling aboard the yacht. Also, aboard the cruise is an author and sometimes consultant to the Miami Beach Police, Jack Ryder, MBPD Detective Logan Robert, and their dates for the cruise. Without a doubt, one of his family members is the murderer. Forced to take refuge from a hurricane in the Port of Havana, Jack Ryder and Logan Robert must find the killer among the 15 members of the family, before the Cuban authorities interfere in their investigation and hold the family indefinitely.

Jack is a 40-year-old divorcee and retired Wall Street financial analyst recently turned crime mystery writer. His keen eye for detail in writing crime mysteries has made him an invaluable consultant to the Miami Beach Police Major Crimes Division. Logan Robert, former Army Special Forces and now homicide detective for the Miami Beach Police Department, has relied on Jack’s deduction abilities to solve murder cases.

Novella 3 - Quarantined due to a virus and trapped because of an approaching hurricane. Miami Beach Police consultant Jack Ryder and his buddy Detective Robert Logan are back for their third murder mystery. Two victims lay dead at the Beach Cove Hotel in Miami Beach’s Art Deco hotel strip. Only 10 guests occupy the hotel, plus a small staff of four. Two of the guests are suspiciously murdered in the early hours of the morning. Everyone becomes a suspect, and is up to Jack and Detective Logan to find the offender before they strike again. Hurricane winds are wreaking havoc as they approach the coast of South Florida.

written like a TV programme

The characters in the book are a bit larger than life. It reads like a TV script and they should have at least one season. I think the plots are easy to work out and you almost get a flashing light when it happens in the story. It is a fun easy listen, not gripping detective work but entertaining.

A Great New Partnership

These novellas were really well narrated by Randy McCarten. An even bigger bonus was that it is currently in the Audible Plus catalogue!

These three novellas were worthy novels!!! Nothing was missed, not plot, not suspense, not character development - nothing! Yet, they were definitely short stories and each of them packed a punch! I look forward to seeing Jack and Logan in future tales.
