About this listen

Holt Walker and his sister, Shelly, are doing their best to prove that a murderous bull shark is the culprit for a host of bodies that have been found in their section of the Mississippi River. While their investigation hasn't been entirely fruitful, they do happen to stumble into a drug-running operation that the FBI is trying to shut down.

Agent Talia Bordeaux is desperate. This case is personal to her, and she's willing to enlist anyone who can help her bring down the scum exporting meth down the Mississippi, out through New Orleans. That includes a shark-obsessed marine biologist and his street-smart sister....

Join the three of them as they navigate the bloody waters of the South in an attempt to stop the drug-runners and get to the bottom of the bull-shark mystery. Big Pharmaceuticals, government conspiracies, and even a category-four hurricane are awaiting our trio as they try not to drown in Bull River blues!

The elements of a really good story are all here - great characters, mystery, action, drugs and the terror of something lethal in the river - but offered with such confusion, it has to force it's way out. Written in the first person, that person, unfortunately, changes without indication, also moving between time, that of father and son in the 1970s and 1990s. In some ways it is a clever concept but too clumsily done to be anything more than annoying.
The narration, however, is pleasing to hear. David Phillips ' reading perfectly fits this reader's image of the main characters, with southern accent and a warmth of emotion, nicely modulated. The performance helps carry the reader through to the end of the book, although the final chapter is again badly edited with a curious break in sentence, and sense, in the final words.
My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Blue River Blues via Audiobook Boom. This is an enjoyable book blighted by bad editting, too confusing in it's current form to be one I could personally recommend.

"Something eerie in that part of the river."
