Loving this series of books. Follow Nick Nowack Private Investigator as he works on various cases, plus we delve deeper into his love life. I think these books are set in the 1980s as I can relate to a lot of things. Great books. Great narration.

I'm enjoying listening to the gritty PI stories in this series and following Nick Nowak's personal life. The narrator's voice and style matches the main character's personality and his narration is easy to follow.

I liked that these stories are set in the early eighties and that there's an overall romance ARC to the series. We witness the smoking, the homophobia shown by the cops, as well as Nick's frequent unprotected sexual encounters with strangers. You get a snap shot of life in Chicago nearly forty years ago. I have my guesses where this story is leading for one or two secondary characters.

Nick comes across as a likeable and hard-working character, whose heart is in the right place much of the time. I'm rooting for him to get his happy ever after later in the series.
