A prestigious job at a top law firm, a beautiful home, and a gorgeous wife all made for an ideal life - but then life gets in the way. For Mac McRyan, a family tragedy meant forgoing a lucrative legal career for one in the family business - the St. Paul Police Department. After four years as a cop, Mac crosses the crime scene tape for the first time as a homicide detective. The back alley murder of a young trial lawyer from a high profile law firm doesn't add up. In an emotionally charged investigation full of unexpected twists and turns, Mac will need to follow a convoluted trail of evidence, secrets, and hidden agendas to help solve a murder mystery that is his First Case.

A short twelve chapter story that is the start of the series. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the books in the series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mac McRyan was my favorite character. The book told the backstory and about his first case. A great way to dive into the books.

What does Johnny Peppers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Peppers brings the characters to life with multiple voices and an easy listening style. The books have a lot of characters so this is no easy feat and he seems to do it seamlessly and creates suspense.

This was my first book by Roger Stelljes. I bought the series on Kindle with Audio so I could listen on a road trip. I wasn’t expecting anything great just some to entertain during my windshield time.

I found the book to just ok, if you like a good old fashioned cops and bad guys genre ala All American style then you will like this story. You get a solid introduction of "Mac," his persona, and his investigative skills. The story itself was not exactly impressive. You could guess fairly easily who the murderer was, or at least I did. Nevertheless, it was a good read and you don’t waste a lot of time.

A good start to a series
