Mink Island

Jim and Kram Funny Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Brent Purvis

Narrated by: Rudy Sanda

Imagine living on a remote island, only accessible by boat or floatplane. What if you were stuck on that island with a killer at large, surrounded by a horde of outrageously loony inhabitants?

Jim Wekle's first day as a trooper on an island in Alaska could have gone better. It was raining, the coffee was bad, and within hours of stepping off the seaplane, he found a bikini-clad girl floating in a kelp bed.

As Jim investigates who might have put the bullet in her back, he stumbles across a uniquely diverse and extraordinarily hilarious batch of island inhabitants. Puffing on his imported cigars, Jim soon learns that no one on the island is more unique, diverse, or hilarious than his unlikely counterpart: a man simply known as Kram.

Really enjoyed this one!

These novels are just plain fun. There is just enough reference to actual places on the island to keep it loosely connected our island. I’m a transplanted local on Prince of Wales Island and I just hope readers from off the island don’t take the characters to be too much like our local resident characters. Its like POW has become to Brent Purvis what Derry Maine is to Stephen King. Keep em coming!

no excitement

the NARRATOR lacked personality would be much more interesting with exciting performance to make interesting.

Great first book in a series.

I enjoyed the story. The narrator grew on me after a while. I think the character development was good leaving me wanting more from this set.

Fun to listen

from AK.good description of the weather on AK coast Good fun with the humour and personalities that is making me want more from this author

This book needs an editor

I have to say I liked the story and the characters a lot, and I’ll certainly listen to the other books in the series. That said, I did find the numerous grammatical and syntactical errors distracting. I hope for better as the series progresses.
