Fatal Gamble
J.P. O'Donnell
Read by J.P. O'Donnell
Twenty years ago, a group of doctors formed a partnership to build a medical office plaza in Massachusetts. While it wasn't the most above-board deal ever made, the doctors have found continued profit and success--until now.
Someone wants the doctors dead, and he or she has already succeeded in murdering two of them. The identity of the killer remains unknown. Is it a madman with a vendetta against the medical profession, a small-time bookie seeking revenge for a shady real estate deal, or a disgruntled former construction manager who was unjustly fired?
The widow of one of the slain doctors has a clue--but she's too afraid to tell the police. She hires Boston private investigator Daniel Gallagher to help track down the murderer. But as Gallagher begins to unravel the mystery, he finds himself entangled in a web of danger and political intrigue.
With the stakes growing higher, Gallagher faces a growing threat to keep him quiet before he reveals the damaging truth. But when push comes to shove, has Gallagher made a Fatal Gamble?

“Easy listening”immediately sprang to mind when I thought of how to describe “Fatal Gamble” by J.p. O’Donnell. The author’s narration of the book was also very easy on the ear and the plotline was interesting and had enough intrigue to keep me looking forward to the next chapter. I will be looking for another book by this author.
Intense

I don't know what people are complaining about. I really enjoyed this novel. I listen to and read books for the story. Not the acting. I don't care about the voices. The story was good and intense. Keeps you guessing will be listening to deadly codes next. Hope it's as good!

I'm about half way through the story and it's really grabbed me. The dimensions given to Gallagher make him a real person, and the way the character thinks is easy to relate to. The one downside that I have is the narration. The author speaks clearly, and is easy to ...

Thanks for your comments, Tristen. Fatal Gamble is my first effort in the realm of podiobooks, and my inexperience definitely shows. I'm just not a very good actor. I feel that I improved my delivery in the sequel, Deadly Codes. I'm hoping to find the time to record Fatal Gamble ...

Just got done Fatal Gamble. I liked the story. I have to agree with others who said the author/reader was a little stiff. I got over that. Heck, we all cant be actors:) I did have a problem with the bad guy in the beginning putting a "silencer" on a ...

The story is good. The pace of the reading needs to step up and flow. I felt like I was watching a movie in slow motion. Put some feeling in it and you have a winner as an audio. I think it would read fine if you had your own ...
Terrible sound effects spoils book.

Terrible sound effects spoils an otherwise great book. Also author appears to be violating Librivox rules by using the platform to advertise his own books. I paid the Librivox upgrade fee and that was to guarantee no ads. so when will this author be suspended?

Thank you for the wonderful comments on Fatal Gamble. You're right on target. I believe that many of the issues you mentioned have been resolved in Deadly Codes. Hope you'll listen to it and send me your comments. Best. JP O'Donnell
