Love the Sam Acquillo series!

Always fresh writing with just the right amount of angst and philosophizing mixed with satisfying violence to the bad guys. Knopf is a true romantic, an excellent writer and most of all a great storyteller.

Love this series

I've listened to the entire series; the reader is perfect for these mysteries set in South Hampton. The private eye is a carpenter and tells the stpry with a lot, but not too many telling observations and humor. This wasn't my favorite but nonetheless an entertaoning listen.

What a fun series

I enjoyed meeting Sam Acquillo and all the other characters, especially Eddie! I’m hoping another book/books are in the pipeline. Until then, enjoy the Little Peconic Bay.

Whatta great story...!!!

Chris Knopf writes real literature... his ability to weave a plotline and narrative with somersault story and characters attended by stunning seat of the pants surprise action scenes have kept me a virtual non-stop listener throughout this entire series. anyone will enjoy listening to any of these entertaining Tales, each of which crescendo to really fine finales. BTW the narration is Top Notch throughout. I can't wait till Mr Knopf finishes his next installment 👍👍👍👍👍

Another Winner!

I really love this series: Great characters, always interesting, clever plot and good narrations. There are many twists and turns, and they actually make sense instead of coming out of left-field where you just shake your head with a, "Whaaaaat?" Lol

Even after nine books, I'm eager for the next one!

Another satisfying adventure

I have enjoyed every book in this series. This story is another example of a well crafted mystery featuring an ensemble cast of characters led by Sam Acquillo, former engineer, former executive, and part time investigator trying to live a quiet life.

Great escape

Action suspense. It really is. Story doesn’t stall keeps moving virtue and a hero reign people in Blount and my generally don’t sound like the show guys and dolls
Who thought they do

GREAT BOOK AGAIN!

Love the overall content well worth the read’ hope to see more of Sam, in the future.

Deep Dive and it’s twists and turns.

This narration is a fast paced, convoluted, though in some ways predictable (you might be thinking) right up to the end story of Sam’s life from from through middle age to forced retirement age.
The characters are ,thought provoking, well thought out believable ,realistic and sympathetic people whom one easily either cheers for, like Sam, or really dislike like Sam’s Dad ,who meets his unfortunate end , bringing about the meeting of the great detective who works dead end cases for the Boston Police Department and in my opinion is one of the best characters in the book.
She is a cross between Sam Spade and Super Woman sans her magic and having more brains.
If you enjoy good old fashioned detective work, impossible situations, great deductive reasoning then you will love this book.
I hope you will give it a try as I for one think Chris Knopf has written another home.
I just hope there is another book to follow this one.

Fantastic series

I couldn't put this down till I finished the entire series! Great Author and superior Narrator.
