About this listen

Book two in the epic Third Chance Enterprises series, Dear Durwood is a stand-alone mystery pitting uncompromising principle against big city greed.

Durwood Oak Jones is a man of few indulgences. One he does allow is a standing ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine soliciting “injustices in need of attention”.

This month’s bundle of letters includes one from Carol Bridges, mayor of the dusty, blue-collar town of Chickasaw, Texas. For nearly a century, Chickasaw has relied on the jobs and goodwill of Hogan Consolidated, a family-run manufacturer of industrial parts. Now East Coast lawyers and investment bankers have taken aim at the company. The citizens of Chickasaw fear it may be acquired or bankrupted, leading to massive layoffs - effectively destroying the town.

Durwood and his trusty bluetick coonhound, Sue-Ann, fly to Texas to see what can be done. They find a young CEO born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Factory workers with hammers. A good woman, Carol Bridges, who knows her town is being cheated but can’t get to the bottom of how. And lawyers.

Dirty, good-for-nothing lawyers.

for me, this is difficult to grade and assess as I have been unable to follow the book, in part because the initial recording production was poor, making the narration indistinct, then, when the sound clarified, the heavily accented American narration was, for me, too rapid to understand. Jarret Lemaster has a very pleasant voice and his character interpretation is good, but for my English ear, his delivery left me struggling to follow the story and several reruns have left me still unable to fully appreciate the story.
Consequently, I have now an ebook version to read alongside a later listening attempt.
The book was a freely gifted complimentary copy from the rights holder, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. It sounded an excellent read and I look forward to the ebook
