THE WILD ONE (Peter Ash series #5) (audiobook) by Nick Petrie

 















Read by Stephen Mendel.
Duration: 9 hours, 59 minutes.
Unabridged.

Synopsis:

Peter Ash is a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. He served with the Marines and even though he is back at home - he is not. He wanders because he can't stay indoors due to PTSD manifesting as claustrophobia. As he wanders, he finds good people in trouble and he tries to get them out of trouble. 

In the past he's been in Milwaukee, Oregon and Washington State, Colorado and Memphis. This time he's in Iceland. 

Ash has been hired by a rich grandmother to find her son-in-law and her grandson. Police in Maryland believe that her son-in-law killed her daughter, kidnapped her grandson, and took him to his home country - Iceland.

So, Peter Ash somehow braves an airplane trip and arrives in Iceland only to find that this case is way more complicated than he ever imagined...

My Review:

Despite the obvious plot hole of a man with SEVERE claustrophobia riding on a jet airplane across North America and halfway to Europe, this book is actually quite good. The action drives the story at a very quick pace and the author keeps adding new bits of mystery.

For my review of the fourth book in this series I wrote:

The series also has a formula that I happen to like. It would be wise of Petrie to shake it up a bit, but it is a formula that is working for me.

This book certainly shook up the formula. Good for Nick Petrie.

The reader, Stephen Mendel, did a fantastic job with a wide variety of accents.

I rate this audiobook 5 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: THE WILD ONE (Peter Ash series #5) by Nick Petrie.
