About This Audiobook

The Frisco Falcon is a breath of fresh air in historical crime fiction. Jack Murray masterfully blends the charm of a British 'Golden Age' mystery with the grit of American hard-boiled crime. Set in 1920, Kit Aston, a dashing and witty English detective, finds himself in San Francisco, navigating the city's underbelly with the help of a tough-talking local. The narrative is a delightful dance of witty banter and clever deductions, all wrapped up in a fast-paced plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. Virtual Voice's narration is a standout feature, bringing Kit's charisma and the city's seedy atmosphere to life with remarkable clarity and nuance.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to The Frisco Falcon is like taking a thrilling ride on a vintage streetcar through the foggy streets of 1920s San Francisco. Virtual Voice's narration is a real treat, capturing the essence of Kit Aston's British charm and the grittiness of the city's underworld with equal finesse. The story moves at a brisk pace, with just the right amount of red herrings to keep you on the edge of your seat. Murray's writing is sharp and witty, with a great balance of humor and tension. My only critique is that some secondary characters could have been more fully developed, but this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent audiobook. If you're a fan of historical mysteries with a dash of hard-boiled crime, this one's a must-listen.
