Arbor Hill: A Keeper Marconi PI Thriller

PI Jack Marconi, Book 6

By: Vincent Zandri

Narrated by: Andrew B. Wehrlen

From the number one overall Amazon best-selling series comes a new novella about greed, lust, sex, and deception.

When PI Jack "Keeper" Marconi is approached by a meek man by the name McNamee about a beautiful blue-eyed, long blonde-haired woman who took him not only for $9,000 worth of charges on his credit card, but who claims to be pregnant with his child, Keeper can't help but feel suspicious. Is the woman running a small time prostitution ring that also specializes in credit card fraud and larceny?

He agrees to take on the job of surveilling the would-be madame, if only to get the man's money back. But what he discovers in the process of looking into this femme fatale who just happens to reside in Arbor Hill, one the of most dangerous neighborhoods in Albany, NY, is that not all prostitution rackets are what they appear to be. And what's worse is how easily he himself can be lured into a spider's web of sex, cash, loneliness, and murder.

For fans of Michael Connelly, Charlie Huston, Robert B. Parker, Donald Westlake, and more comes the latest quick hard-boiled and Albany noir read from New York Times and USA Today ITW Thriller and PWA Shamus Award-winning author Vincent Zandri.

"A hugely successful series...Vincent Zandri’s The Guilty is a gripping combination of old-school hardboiled detective yarn and a ‘80s high-octane action movie. Immensely enjoyable." (Paul D. Brazill, Pulp Metal Magazine)

Short and Suspenseful

I have enjoyed listening to books by Vincent Zandri and Andrew B Wehrlen. They are a great combination. I love the twists and turns the story takes and the emotions and suspense that are covered. I was surprised with the direction the story went, and totally enjoyed it. The imagery is great too. Each book is a standalone listen and part of a series. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Any additional comments?

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Short, but pretty good PI story.

Arbor Hill was a dangerous place full of gang-bangers, drug dealers, and prostitutes. Jack “Keeper” Marconi was a rough and tumble private investigator who lived in and worked the neighborhood. Keeper and his friend Blood are working a case of a young woman suspected of running a sex for money scam on her suitors off a dating website. What they find is quite different from what they were led to believe. I didn’t realize how short this PI story was; a bit shocking when the end drew near. It was a good story though. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Con Woman

Another great noir by Zandri. Keeper is hired to shadow a woman who fleeces men out of money. Unknown to him. he is being setup. After the woman is murdered on Keeper's watch, Keeper and sidekick Blood help police to bring down the killer. I was gifted this from the author.

New to me

I don't normally start in the middle of a series especially with a new to me author... I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read more. Definitely a good start and delighted it is a truly stand alone story
