About this listen

The trouble at the Conlee’s lakeside estate begins when vandals topple and destroy an expensive Italian fountain. Then they slash the tires and damage the paint job on a Jaguar. That’s when Roy Ballard's client, the insurance company, asks him to catch the vandal in the act and prevent future claims.

Surprisingly, the homeowner, Norman Conlee, opposes the idea. He intends to address the problem himself by fencing the property and keeping his revolver handy. Eventually, though, he gives in, and Roy goes to work. It’s not long before the case escalates in a way nobody saw coming. Roy will need some luck to close this case before he winds up a victim himself.

I've listened to all the Roy Ballard books and this for me was on par if not better than the last few books. The same humour but without partner Mia in tow. Rounded, believable and wonderfully narrated by Johnny Peppers. Now when can I have the next installment? 5/5 for me.

Even better than before.

Loved it loved it loved it. Does not disappoint again and it was a really exciting case this time and I loved Roy’s usual distain for people and his ability to always get himself into trouble. I was really pleased with the ending as I was starting to get worried. Can’t wait for the next book.

Loved it

Ballard is back. He has a new case to investigate and not entirely unsurprisingly it turns into a messy situation involving murder, blackmail and a lot more than insurance fraud.
The story is really easy to listen to. Excellently narrated by Johnny Peppers who gives the story a great modern noir feeling.
Mia is much more of a background character in this story and I missed her involvement with the investigations.
I did enjoy this book, although it's not my favourite in the series, but I will look out for the next with much anticipation.

Another good case for my fave legal videographer.
