About this listen

PI Jim Bean should walk out that door and let the Vegas bouncer do his worst. That's what an ordinary man would do. But nobody ever accused Jim Bean of being ordinary.

Private Investigator Jim Bean has worked hard to create his new identity in Vegas. He doesn't have a great life, but it's his. When his ex-fiancée, Erica Floyd, walks into one of his investigations looking for her missing sister, the tragic past he wanted to leave behind comes flooding back.

Despite serious reservations, Jim agrees to search for Erica's sister. Clues lead him to a human-trafficking ring and one of Vegas' most influential mobsters. Unless Jim can face the ghosts of his past, the anger of his present, and a new enemy out for his blood, four women will suffer a fate worse than death.

Critic reviews

“That wonderful and rare combination of high-speed suspense and complex, richly drawn characters will keep you on the edge of your seat.” (Jeffery Deaver, New York Times best-selling author)

"With one foot in the classic PI tradition and the other in the new age, Skin Game is no roll of the dice. J.D. Allen delivers a smart, fast-paced book that will keep the reader on edge from start to finish." (Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author of What You Break)

Another intense listen fromJ D Allen!
If you thought Jim’s last case was bonkers this one is just as good!
Whereas last time Jim only has one nemesis, this time he is up against an entire criminal network when his ex-fiancée drags him into the disappearance of her younger sister. Return appearances from all our favourite sidekicks too!
Great storytelling, but this series is definitely not for the feint hearted.
Narration is excellent.
Highly recommended

Jim is on another intense rollercoaster case encompassing more danger and dodgy situations. Several characters from Book 1 have walk on parts (not Ava).

Good thriller, but at hour 6, sadly, the female MC Erica, supposedly a smart banker, becomes a contemptible, tiresome, gormless prima-donna, so unlike her behaviour earlier in the book and the other MC females in Book 1. It made the last hour of the book hard to finish, such was her tedious dominance overriding the other MCs. And yes she survives the outcome and is still in the life of Jim at the end which will seriously affect whether I go to Book 3. (I subsequently got book 3 and phew, she's not in it, so read on in comfort).

GOOD UNTIL IT WASN'T

Emotional Slay Ride

Another excellent performance by Chandler. Picking up more on Beans back story. Worth it.

Bean wins again- sort of

I’ve finished this with the month so going to have to wait to get the next one.

The start of every paragraph is missing, you get the second syllable of the first word as the start.
Yes you can guess what the first word is but it annoys the hell out of me and prevents me from enjoying and continuing with the book. I got to chapter 20 and was pulling my hair out and have admitted defeat.
A poor recording really can ruin a book
