About this listen

Lennox Armbruster was struck by a speeding vehicle - but was it an accident or an insurance scam gone wrong? Roy Ballard is hired to find out, and he soon learns there’s a third possibility: attempted murder. Joe Jankowski, the man who hit Armbruster, is a tough-talking player in the construction industry, and a feud with one of his former employees has shown that he has a temper to match his brash personality. When Roy and his partner Mia Madison attempt to dig deeper, they learn just how far Jankowski will go to shut down their investigation.

This case has probably been the most dangerous yet for Roy Ballard and Mia Madison, a routine fraud case quickly becomes about threats and murder bring the danger straight to Roy and Mia’s front door.
I have to say, I LOVE Doris and I hope she becomes a fixture in Roy and Mia’s life.

I enjoyed this book, there is so much going on that you can't help but keep listening. I liked the characters, especially the mother of the murder victim who could so do Roy's job for him and needs her own series. With book five Roy has grown as a character and where as I found him annoying in book one, where as his sarcasm was just rude and Mia was the reason I kept listening, now I enjoy his friendly humorous banter. There wasn't any surprises (or twists) in the mystery and the baddie was who you suspect it was still a lot of fun getting there. Off to start the next book.
With Mia away on a girl's weekend Roy is asked to work on a case, a man who was struck by a car was definitely injured but was it an accident or a scam gone wrong? It's not long before Roy questions annoys somebody and he gets visited by some heavies. Then people start disappearing and the case takes on a life of its own and a lot more questions need asking, like where was he going when he was hit? Can Roy work out what is going on before he gets another visit? Or somebody else gets hurt?
I liked the narrator. He is a good choice for the characters in this series as his delivery is prefect.

If you've listened to the previous books in this series, (which isn't necessary as they all work as standalones), then I'm sure you have learned to love Roy and Mia. Their partnership, business and professional, really works and the spark and chemistry between them is palpable throughout. There are some really scary moments in this book and it feels as if the rose coloured glasses they have both been wearing because they are so loved up have been broken and real life is dragging them down. Even Roy struggles to keep his usual wit and humour going. But that's what makes this series so good. Life does get in the way. Bad things do happen to good people and being in love doesn't mean you're protected from outside influences. The story is full of action, as usual, and Roy and Mia really have to work hard to stay one step ahead of the game. This may be my favourite book in the series so far. Johnny Peppers works his usual narrator magic and all in all this is a fabulous book in a fantastic series.

Book 5 deserves 5 stars

Book 5 in the series is another good story starting out with an investigation into an accident to see if fraud is involved and mushrooming into a situation involving blackmail, missing persons, assaults, shootings, murder and mayhem. Meanwhile on the personal front Roy has a secret which could totally destabilise his relationship with Mia.
This offering as usual is witty fast paced and gripping.
The narration is very good and fits the style of the book very well.
My only quibble was that Mia wasn't as present in this story and I missed their banter and brainstorming. I really liked Doris and would love to see her in future stories.
4.5/5 🌟

Another good story

This is probably the most character centric book of the series so far. A lot of it involves our detectives very personally. Still it has the action, drama and intrigue typical in the series.

A good listen, with an easy to listen to narrator that brings it to life.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

The 5th in the Roy Ballard series, takes you on another insurance investigation with twists and turns and surprises along the way. The investigation into whether Lennox Armbruster’s claim after being hit by a car is genuine leads Roy into all sorts of trouble as the story develops. The only downside with this book is that Mia wasn’t as heavily involved until later in the story. With Roy also struggling with his own issues that could derail their marriage he struggles to find out the truth of what is going on With the usual mix of murder, accidents and disappearances, good and bad characters this was another great book in the series. Great narration as always.

A great series
