Jon's Downright Ridiculous Shooting Case

Jon's Mysteries Case, Book 1

By: AJ Sherwood

Narrated by: Kenneth Obi

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic—and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds—so calling for help isn’t always a possibility.

I need an anchor, a partner, but I’m resigned: it’s just wishful thinking.

At least, I thought so until he walked through the door.

Donovan Havili looks like a thug and has the soul of a superhero. He shines so bright in my vision it’s like watching a supernova. He definitely has the right mindset and skills for this crazy job. But asking anyone to take me on long-term is a bit much. And now we’ve got multiple cases to handle, a Chinese exchange student falsely accused who needs our help, and someone taking random shots at me. It’s a bit much for any new guy to handle and I’m half-afraid that my new partner will run for the door.But in Donovan Havili, the criminal world has met its match. And maybe, just maybe, I have as well.

The impact of a good narrator

For this first book, I felt the narrator was subpar. Lloyd Thomas took over narration of the other books and it is an incredible improvement

Lovely story ..

However, the narration leaves alot to be desired.

So this is the beginning of Jon's mysteries, which I have loved since they came out and having already bought the audio for the rest of the series, I was hesitant because of the change of narrators.

I was right to be worried. It took me forever to finish this just because of how the voices sounded throughout the book.

Now some people will be like "who cares about the narrator, just focus on the story" and I would like to point out that this is an audiobook, the narration can make or break the enjoyment of it

Now that I got all that out, I still love Jon and Donovan and I hope that by buying this series in audio it will make Mack's series be released as well

Awesome

Great listen! Such a good story and unique world! Can't wait for the next book and hope that we see more from certain people!

so much fun

I adore AJ Sherwood, here stories are so much fun and full of action. It took me a while to get used to the narrator and his accent, but after a couple of chapters I started to really like the accent and it helped to bring the story even further to life.

Fun book, excellent series !

I love everything about this book except the narrator. Fortunately the book is worth it anyway!

(While this narrator is good at differentiating the characters and pacing, some of the main character voices are seriously grating - this is true of every book I’ve heard him narrate. The were also several repeated lines that weren’t edited out)
