About this listen
Millionaires, a mini dachshund, and dreams of old Manhattan inspire a writer to leave monotony behind and follow a 1930s murder mystery.
Rick Gordon is accustomed to losing. He decides it’s time for a change after finding himself single and out of work again with no one for moral support but his two meddling friends and a precocious dachshund. A box of old family photos reveals an odd mystery his deceased uncle had tucked away for him. When Rick makes the unsolved Ridley murders the focus of his first novel, he has no idea how close it will take him to the edge before bringing him back to the love and happiness he’s always been seeking.

In a box of his deceased uncle's old stuff, he find a mystery left for him to solve: three connected long past murders, never solved despite the vast number of police investigating at the time. Rick determines not only to solve the murders but make them the focus of a book he'll write. And as he and life move forward together, it comes to obsess him, when entering his dreams. Part late-in-life coming of age, part psycological, part mystery, romance, and doggy lovers heaven, as well as an unusual peek at unexpected historical artifacts, this book is an interesting read. The text is well written, the main protagonist is constantly traced and human, descriptions brief but very visual. Yet what appears at first to be the main focus, the crimes which Rick intends to solve, takes very second place to Rick himself. A strange book in many ways, not really one for the reader looking for a neat cold case murder mystery, however.
Finding Ridley is narrated skillfully by Alan Charlson. He breathes life into the main protagonists, gives each their own voices and reads the text with gentle emotion and understanding. A good choice to perform the book. My thanks to the rights holder, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. The book was an easy and pleasant read, at times intriguing, holding the reader's attention with a promise of something which never really quite comes but is still worth the listen.
