About This Audiobook

In the world of Dan Ames' Dead Wood, private investigator Jack Murphy is a man haunted by his past and driven by a code of honor. With a no-nonsense attitude and a sharp eye for detail, Murphy navigates the dark underbelly of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where the elite and the desperate coexist. Ames' writing is a masterclass in atmospheric tension, conjuring the decaying grandeur of this exclusive enclave with vivid precision. The result is a narrative that's as much about the corrupting influence of power as it is about the unyielding spirit of a man who's lost everything.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I was drawn to Dead Wood for its unapologetic depiction of a world in decay. Ames' writing is a potent commentary on the darker aspects of human nature, and Jack Murphy's investigations serve as a stark reminder that justice can be a luxury few can afford. Virtual Voice does a commendable job of navigating the narrative's twists and turns, delivering a solid performance that's equal parts deadpan and engaging.
