The Preacher

By: Ted Thackrey Jr.

Narrated by: Shawn Compton

The unforgetable hero who once saved souls...and now deals death

A mysterious, one-eyed stranger wanders into Farewell, New Mexico, a dusty border town rife with corruption. He's known only as The Preacher, an ex-Priest, ex-Special Forces commando, and now a professional gambler who has given up on his own salvation...but is determined to find justice for a murdered Vietnam vet...even if it means taking on the entire, God forsaken town.

Greed and murder at its best!

A great whodunit with twists and turns to hold your attention throughout.
The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices for the characters. Loved the New England accent!

Kind of hoping things pick up

Not exactly my cup of tea for book 1, however it is quiet possible that book 2, 3 etc might catch my fancy & have me wanting to continue to read it on a regular basis.

Gambling, Nam, fights, relationships, and sermons

What an unexpected mix of themes which are intricately woven into a series of unexpected twists and turns. The Preacher (we never get to know his name) relies on his self-defense strategies (both physical and psychological) as a result of surviving a tour in Vietnam in th especial forces. Those experiences, combined with his biblical perspectives, set the foundation for the story. Both the story and the characters are well developed and full of surprises along the way. This listen really grew on me as it combines so many facets of human experiences that work together to create a powerful and engrossing story. The publisher's summary peaked my interest, but the story far surpassed the write up. The narration was certainly a plus, as well. I would recommend this listen to this genre. . A review copy of this audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in return for this unbiased review.

Best. Book. EVER.

I didn't know what I was getting into with this listen. I had no idea it would rank as one of the top audiobooks I've ever listened to!

I loved the cover design. I was intrigued by the title. The narrator's voice was melodious and captivating. And then the story. I loved it!!!

The story was steeped in a mystery that had many movable parts and in the center was the best anti-hero I've ever had the pleasure. In a word, WOW!

There are many books that become a series but only a few deserve to be such. This book screams 'MORE!' Don't get me wrong, there was a satisfying conclusion but there was so much depth to the story that I didn't want to walk away.

There were some quips, sharp banter and very vivid similes that caught my attention as well.
This listen was something special.
