Final Orders

Hazard and Somerset: Arrows in the Hand, Book 5

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Tristan James

An embattled author. Fanatical parents. A son who can’t stay out of trouble. It’s the last one that’ll probably kill him.

When Emery Hazard gets drawn into a brawl at a monthly school board meeting, he knows he’s in trouble; his husband, John-Henry Somerset, is chief of police, and they’re already under enough scrutiny as they try to finalize their foster son’s permanency plan.

Hazard’s actions, however, have an unexpected consequence: A woman shows up at his office the next day, and she wants to hire him to protect her mother. Loretta Ames is a famous—and famously troublesome—author, and a string of recent attempts on her life suggests that someone is determined to get rid of her. Under pressure from his assistant, Hazard takes the job, assuming that it will be two days of babysitting before Loretta returns to New York.

Her murder changes everything. To find the killer, Hazard and Somers will enter a murky world of concerned parents, entitled teenagers, internet trolls, and a whole lot of grassroots crazy. But nothing is straightforward about the investigation, and even Loretta’s daughter seems to have her own reasons to want her mother dead. And when the killer abducts Colt’s friend, Hazard and Somers realize they are running out of time, and they must race to save him before it’s too late.

Best book to end on

I truly love every book in this series. Gregory Ashe is an amazing author and Tristan James is a great narrator. This was by far the best book and what a great way to end the series. I obviously still want more but it does feel like we got some closure.

Amazing conclusion!

This book ultimately reads like Gregory Ashe’s love letter to fans of his Hazard and Somerset series. While there are some threads left dangling (Gray, Nico), our beloved central characters finally (FINALLY!) seem like they’re going to be okay. So many plot threads come together in this satisfying conclusion, which, among other things, sees John-Henry truly forgive himself at last. What an emotional payoff for us listeners! I’m going to give the spin-off series a try, but I don’t think any series will match the laughter, heartache, zaniness, and droll humor Gregory Ashe treated us to in telling the epic love story of Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset. Thank you, sir.

Spectacular!

Will listen again. The story is exciting and compelling. Characters well defined. Great sizzle. Tristan once again does a steller performance.

Hazard is the best character ever

I had a great time listening to this book. What an amazing story. 😍

GAAHH!! I am so happy my Hazard is back.😭🥳

Series 3 book 5. It has been a long journey of ups and downs, I feel like mostly downs. The writing is still amazing, raw and everything in between.

I ended up enjoying this one, I just wish these guys could catch a long break. They are allowed to be happy and boring. Gaaahh!! If only. Unfortunately that is not GA style.

The mystery in this one was engaging and mirrored what is happening in RL right now in the US of A. It was frustrating to read. 😪😣 Loved the twists though. One minute I was thinking I know everything, the next, I am like Oi! It's not what I thought. GA gets me every time.

The relationship between Hazard and Somers is interesting to read about, they are these everyday blue-collar, next door neighbours kinda guys. GAAHH!! This one had some hot scenes. 🔥🔥 Me is veeeerrryyyyy happy about that.

I miss Evie and Hazard moments.

Colt!!! We will not talk about him. I want to understand but I refuse to.

Theo and Auggie.... GAAAHHH!!!!!!!

Nico! Oi! Poor guy.

Overall! This was a great read/listen. I still want 10 more books. 🙈🤣

A Copy of the audiobook was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

LOVE Gregory Ashe and Tristian James

I love the Hazard and Somerset series and I was squirreling this away to save-like you do a nice present. I came down with covid this week and I listened to this one. Why did I wait so long. Thank you for 12 hours and 10 minutes of enjoyable entertainment while I was in my chair feeling blue (and blowing and coughing).
There are not enough good things to say about Tristan James narration. He is the perfect narrator for this series.
THANK YOU BOTH for for enjoyable hours of entertainment!
