Can a priest, his brother, and the brother's girlfriend solve a murder case and see justice done-or will they be the murderer's latest victim? A Murder on Wall Street takes us inside the world of Captain O'Brian's Irish Pub and Cigar Bar in Manhattan, a legendary hotspot in the Financial District. Investigating the death are pub owners Joey Mancuso, fired from the New York Police Department for his unorthodox methods, and his brother Father Dominic, who isn't your typical priest. Also investigating is Marcy Martinez, a Cuban bombshell and FBI agent who is Joey's girlfriend. When a customer kills himself after celebrating the night before, the three know something's wrong. Turns out, the customer's death coincides with people losing money-lots of it-and some of those people are very, very dangerous.… (mais)

An exceptional trio – an ex-detective, his girlfriend, and his brother, a priest – attempt to solve a murder case. This case has been deemed a suicide. Our trio includes Joey Mancuso, recently fired from the NYPD after 16 years, and his brother, Dominic, a priest. They are both private investigators. There is also Marcy Martinez, FBI agent and Joey's girlfriend.

The man who died was just celebrating a promotion at the Pub the brothers own, and he was about to become engaged. Why would he kill himself? Then there is the hit-and-run of the man's assistant. Coincidence? Joey. Dominic and Marcy do not think so, and begin an intense investigation. Meanwhile, the case that led to Joey’s dismissal is something that he cannot let go of, and he is on that as well.

What a quick and fun read! I really love how Owen Parr presents the conclusion. I love this style of writing and look forward to reading more of his books.

Thank you to NetGalley for this book for review. ( )

I received a copy of A Murder on Wall Street from NetGalley. I liked the premise and thought the main characters would be entertaining (though at times it seemed like the start to a bad joke:. "...a priest and a cop walk into a bar..."). The dialogue really dragged the book down for me. I nearly gave up after a sequence where one character quipped, the second added, a third said, and then it was right back to quipped and added. Unfortunately, I can't even recommend this as a fluff read. ( )

My original A Murder on Long Island: The Last Advocate audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

The Mancuso brothers are back to solve the mystery of a dead wife, a husband accused of the murder and a whole lot more! Joey is approached by the daughter and lawyers of the husband – the brothers have days to solve the year-old murder mystery – find the murderer and not send the wrong guy to prison.

Joey’s plate is full between the pressing murder mystery, his girlfriend and her new “GQ” partner as well as work opportunities galore! Even with his head swimming with opportunities, Joey and Father O’Brien focus on the murder at hand in a typical Sherlock Holmes and Watson style process. Joey loves his showmanship in the great reveal …

Parr writes in a light, fun manner that gives his listeners a great insight into Joey Mancuso’s mind, ability and emotions. Well, his stubbornness for sure! Parr weaves the story carefully mixing in suspense and comedy. At times Joey reminds me of the famous quirky detective types who see things differently and quickly. A great mystery and I appreciate seeing more into what makes Joey, Joey. Although I did wind up disliking the girlfriend! Talk about double standards … but you have to listen to it!

Stefan Rudnicki again owns the book as his performance is spot on. His performance flows smoothly with no glitches or confusion. He’s put in just the correct amount of snark and Irish into his performance.

If you enjoy mystery and a little eccentric behavior – this is the book for you!

My original A Murder on Wall Street audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

A trio of unlikely crime solvers come together to solve the suicide of a customer. Oddly, this customer had everything to live for and even more to die for! Joey Mancuso, ex-NYPD with unusual methods; Marcy, FBI agent and drop dead gorgeous girlfriend of Mancuso; and, Father Dominic, Mancuso’s brother and co-owner of the Captain O’Brian’s Irish Pub. Suspicious of their friends and client’s death, the three begin their investigation into the seamy underworld of Wall Street finances. Is there a correlation between losing money and death? That is what Joey, Dominic, and Marcy want to know.

The book was a solidly written mystery with strong dialog and detailed descriptions. The characters were fully developed. At the end, Joey Mancuso makes the grand announcement exposing the murderer which felt reminiscent of Columbo or Ellery Queen. The story flow was smooth and flawless. A short listen but the plot was easy to follow.

The narrator, Stefan Rudnicki’s performance gave life to the characters – their voices sounded much like I thought they would/should. His voice was entertaining giving voice to the gravelly sound of mystery and intrigue for Mancuso and Father Dominic was well done too. There were different dialects from Irish to Cuban to Manhattan Mob. He kept them straight, believable and not over the top.

This book will appeal to fans of Owen Parr and anyone who loves dark mysteries with a grandstand at the end – announcing the killer in a room full of suspects. While this is not my favorite style of sitting through discovering who the killer is, it seemed to work.
