About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Carl Hiaasen teamed up with journalist Bill Montalbano for this gripping thriller. Powder Burn stars Chris Meadows, a successful Miami architect who’s leaving a meeting with an ex-girlfriend when he sees a car strike his ex, killing her. But the nightmare is only just beginning. As a witness to the crime, Chris knows the car’s passengers - thugs linked to Miami’s deadliest drug lords - are sure to come after him next. But what can he do if the police refuse to give him protection?

Mediocre overplotted story well narrated but has none of the Hiasen humour or insight only his name. Avoid.

Not Carl Hiasens influence

Quirky but almost believable. Good narration. Story keeps you guessing the next move all the way through.

Funny as ever.

I've only discovered this author through Audible, and is the second book I've enjoyed immensely. The plotting and characters are great, and there is a levity to the tone, and great dialogue, that brings it all to life. Highly recommended.

Great pace and plot

The plot might have held promise. Certainly with Hiaasen as one of the authors, I had hopes. But the reader ruined it. I could not get past chapter 3. Same harsh tone no matter what the scene, didn't seem to be taking in what he was reading so emphasis often misplaced. What a pity

All potential lost to a bad reader
