Barbados Heat: Library Edition [Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Don Bruns (Author, Narrator)

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Congressman Shapply, once an unscrupulous music industry CEO, now a crusader for cleaning up the lyrics of rap music, is brutally murdered. When the Congressman's stepson is charged with the murder, his boyhood best friend, Mick Sever, reluctantly agrees to help with the investigation. Don Bruns spins an intriguing story filled with violence and nonstop action. As a reader, however, he sounds like he's always about to run out of breath. While his tone is pleasant and his energy high, the story's subtleties, handled so well in print, are lost in the narration. Next time, Blackstone, producer of so many top-notch audiobooks, should recommend that Bruns avail himself of a professional narrator.

More About the Author

Don Bruns is a novelist, advertising executive, musician, songwriter, cook and painter who has no idea what he wants to do when he grows up. He's the author of nine books and was editor of the mystery/music anthology A Merry Band Of Murderers.

Don's published novels cover two series. One, a Caribbean thriller collection and two, the Stuff series, a humorous look at two twenty-four year old guys in South Florida who start their own detective agency and end up neck - deep in trouble. Skip and James from the Stuff series have often been compared to grown up versions of the Hardy Boys.

Jamaica Blue, Barbados Heat, South Beach Shakedown, St. Barts Breakdown and Bahama Burnout make up the Caribbean books. The Stuff series consists of Stuff To Die For, Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, Stuff To Spy For, and Don't Sweat The Small Stuff- which came out in December 2010. Bruns is currently working on the fifth Stuff book, Too Much Stuff.

His two series have won numerous awards, and the latest "Stuff" series has won a starred review in Booklist.

"Will remind the reader of Tim Dorsey's cast of whacked-out characters but with the narrative voice and feel of Mark Twain's Huck Finn."

Traveling the Caribbean for his Mick Sever series, or hovering around Miami for his "Stuff" series, Bruns enjoys the writing life. You can find him at http://www.donbrunsbooks.com
