About this listen

Sequel to Sinner's Gin

Sinners Series: Book Two

He was dead. And it was murder most foul. If erasing a man's existence could even be called murder.

When Damien Mitchell wakes, he finds himself without a life or a name. The Montana asylum's doctors tell him he's delusional and his memories are all lies: he's really Stephen Thompson, and he'd gone over the edge, obsessing about a rock star who died in a fiery crash. His chance to escape back to his own life comes when his prison burns, but a gunman is waiting for him, determined that neither Stephen Thompson nor Damien Mitchell will escape.

With the assassin on his tail, Damien flees to the City by the Bay, but keeping a low profile is the only way he'll survive as he searches San Francisco for his best friend, Miki St. John. Falling back on what kept him fed before he made it big, Damien sings for his supper outside Finnegan's, an Irish pub on the pier, and he soon falls in with the owner, Sionn Murphy. Damien doesn't need a complication like Sionn, and to make matters worse, the gunman-who doesn't mind going through Sionn or anyone else if that's what it takes to kill Damien - shows up to finish what he started.

**AUDIO REVIEW**

oh, much better than Sinners Gin!

not a brilliant reviw, but I did enjoy in much more than book one. Irish and cowboy really are made for each other. and the fact that we knew who was doing it all right up front was a little different. much more violent than book one, filing on over 18 shelf too.

as for the narrator, i found him much easier to listen to second time aorund and i think i preferred him in this one.

I need book 3, which is not yet available in audio, i will wait though. i dont want to spoil my enjoyment of this series by switching to reading from listening

much more enjoyable than book one

I love this book. The narrator is so good he really knows how to bring all the characters to life. Highly Recommended.

Just Fabulous

Yet another book I read in pixels before getting the audio and I'm glad I did as the characters came through beautifully and there were some real laugh out loud moments despite the seriousness of what Damien was going through.
The narration was good although there was some fluctuation on the accents but overall I think that Tristan James did a good job of bringing the characters to life. This is definitely one I will listen to again. (Although my favourite character is Miki I do like Damien & hus story was a good one)

Another good tale from Rhys Ford

This is an interesting story. Well written and with likeable characters. The narration is good as well.

Great series

This book is definitely worth a listen. The continuation of the story from Book 1's cliff hanger (there's another one at the end of this book) is pretty satisfying, and still leaves room for more in the series .... please! One warning: there are some very graphic descriptions of what the bad guy does to his victims, which are a bit hard to take when you are listening while driving and not expecting quite so much detail!

As another reviewer has mentioned, knowing who the bad guy is so early in the story has and interesting effect on the way you understand the rest of the story as it unfolds. You assume that Damien will come out of it OK, so the extended details of what the hit man is doing and the ways the stories intertwine have a certain inevitability, but it is not totally predictable, by any means.

Tristan James does a great job on the whole with a lovely delivery for both the narration and the character voices, but - as one other reviewer noticed - he doesn't seem to know/remember what accent to give Damien. As an English listener, perhaps I am more sensitive to the change in the vowel sounds, but Damien's voice swings between English, Irish, and American, which can be a little confusing when there are lots of voices in the same conversation.

There are some wonderful characters in this and the earlier story, and I am looking forward to the next developments.

Great sequel, but not for the squeamish
