About this listen
Midnight on a moonlit beach. Six cops execute four thugs after a heinous crime. They are unaware that there is a witness to the executions. Thrilling action explores tactical, ethical, and criminal choices made by officers of the law. A stark image of moral ambiguity underpins their struggle to maintain courageous and precarious control of all-engulfing crime. Plain-dealing cops face scrutiny in an emotional journey through choices made in the day-to-day confrontation with evil.

Would you listen to Plain Dealing again? Why?
Yes. Gripping and realistic and original. The characters are all convincing and the action is really reflective of the real world.What other book might you compare Plain Dealing to, and why?
The Bourne Trilogy. Same action and sparse dialogue and real emotions.Which character – as performed by Ian Patrick – was your favourite?
Mashego was great, I thought, but probably Ryder. He didn't handle the women as well.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
For sure. There are some really emotional bits. Especially in the second-last chapter. Well, in the last chapter, too.Any additional comments?
Very nice. Will get the others in the series, I think.Five star thrills all the way

Would you listen to Plain Dealing again? Why?
Very clear narration. Good speech. Good accents. Good resonant voice. Excellent studio quality.What did you like best about this story?
There is a fantastic second-last chapter where there are car chases, shoot-outs, cliff-hanging clashes, and just when you think it's all over, with a lovely denouement, there's another up-tick of excitement in the very last chapter. Beautifully structured. Lovely characters. Great dialogue. Final lines are like music.What about Ian Patrick’s performance did you like?
Easy, knowledgeable, laid-back and richly resonant.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The end of the second-last chapter is very moving. Well, the same goes for the chapter - I forget the number - at the end of Wednesday, where there is a really sad scene involving a woman cop.Any additional comments?
This is really good from the very first moment right through to the closing moment.Best of the series

What made the experience of listening to Plain Dealing the most enjoyable?
I got the audiobook some time ago but forgot to listen to it (family trauma and all that). Then I saw a review just a few days ago saying that this was in the same league as James Patterson and John Grisham, so thought it was time. I both listened and read at the same time. One night straight through. I kid you not. This was brilliant. Most definitely in the same league as Grisham (I don't know Patterson). The accents and narration were top drawer, and the structure of the plot is cliff-hangingly brilliant.Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked Ryder and the forensics woman Nadine, but to tell you the truth I thought Mashego was outstanding. He is a no-nonsense guy with a deep and disturbed history. He was fascinating.What does Ian Patrick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The accents were great and the voice was rich and resonant with clear speech and lots of dramatic subtext.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. And I did!Any additional comments?
Got to get the rest of the series now. And next time I won't wait for so long before getting down to it.In the top caliber

What made the experience of listening to Plain Dealing the most enjoyable?
This was very satisfying because the bad guys get their just deserts, but the route to that end if very rocky with lots of surprises, twists and turns and reversals. Very exciting all the way.What was one of the most memorable moments of Plain Dealing?
The scene next to the airport was riveting beyond measure.Which scene did you most enjoy?
The very final scene of the book is a n ice one. Action there, too, but a good denouement right at the end, like a spinning top finally slowing down after a really energised spell.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
