Loved it

I am very impressed with how well the author kept you guessing and kept you wanting to hear more. The narrator did a fantastic job of bring the characters and world to life. I was given a free copy of the audio in return for an unbiased review.

Russians involved ? or Not?

This is the second Harry Starke book of the series. His Detective Agency with his team of unusual characters are all settled in and Kate a homicide detective, who happens to be his girlfriend, helps him out where she can. Through his father Harry meets with a Judge at their Country Club. The Judge’s wife Sandra was run off the road and murdered and he would like Harry to find the murderer. The case becomes complicated and the Russian Mafia somehow seems to be involved. There is also a new character introduced, Bob Ryan, who Harry hires. The ending makes you realize that Bob has a backstory, which hopefully will be spelt out in the next book of the series.. The narration was good and the story compelling. I would love to listen to the rest of the series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A real cliff-hanger!

Well-written, lots of suspects to keep you guessing and a new addition to our cast of sleuths.

Tom Lennon brings the characters to life with his great narrating.

An entertaining murder mystery

The Raven is an entertaining murder mystery featuring a younger Harry Starke in the early days of his agency.

The narrator of the audiobook is the same one who reads the rest of the series. He does a good job.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Wow!!! What a book!

The Raven by Blair Howard is a great addition to the Harry Starke Genesis series. I loved how the author wove this book. I didn't guess the killer in the book. Tom Lennon is perfection at the voice of Harry Starke. He brings the characters to life, and I can hear who is speaking. I highly recommend both this book, author and narrator. I definitely will listen to more.

Great narration by Tom Lennon.
Great entertainment and an easy listen.

Excellent

A Judge’s wife was brutally murdered, was it personal to be hit repeatedly, or an amateur. Leaving his signature mark on the asphalt, that was usually the sign of a hired assassin. The only piece that fits it had been a case of the judge, that sent a killer to jail. He visit the man in prison, then three of the man’s buddies. They give him the clue to check the school where she was a benefactor of helping other kids, and the daughter goes there. The plot unfolds from the beginning, it’s as though you are listening in on Harrry’s
conversations. Another winner. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

liked this very much

I enjoyed this book very much. The narrator is great and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and provides some light romance for those that want that
