Title: 17th Century Tough PI
Review: Meet Benjamin Weaver, collector of debts and theft recovery. He is a tough PI whose action and investigative methods that rival Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes. (Though Holmes is smarter, Weaver takes more risks and chases more women.) Set in the early 1720's, Weaver is hired to investigate the murder of a porter (dock worker). This leads to him being framed for murder. After a daring and somewhat humorous escape, Weaver attempts to clear his name of wrong doing, which takes him into the world of shady politicians and brutal thugs. But, Weaver is a resourceful character, with his clever language and pugilist skills. Like an old country James Bond, he is quick thinking, charismatic with the ladies and quick to use force where necessary. Writer Liss does a great job of describing the times of early London and entertains with Weaver's cunning and antics. Michael Page does an awesome job of reading for the audiobook. I look forward to more books by Mr. Liss.
