About this listen
Two single dads. Two headstrong teenagers. One dead body.
A cabin in the middle of nowhere, nature all around, peace and serenity. It was supposed to be a vacation to help Nova reconnect with his son.
But he didn’t expect to fall for his neighbor in the cabin across the lake.
He didn’t expect an erratic and unusual broadcast on a radio station no longer in existence.
And he definitely didn’t expect a dead body in the water.
Mercy likes his mysteries to stay within the pages of his novels. When strange things start to happen at his summer cabin, he and his daughter team up with the man and his son on the other side of the lake to get to the bottom of it. A little amateur sleuthing won’t hurt anyone, right?
Someone out there knows the truth.
Who is the man on the radio?
What does he know?
Mercy and Nova are determined to solve the mystery, but are they willing to risk life and limb for answers? Because someone doesn’t want their secrets revealed.
**Radio Static is an MM romantic mystery involving two single dads in their midforties.**

What started out as a low-key summer vacation and some sweet flirting turned into something much more sinister after Nova and Mercy found a dead body in the lake. I was already a little on-edge after the creepy radio broadcast Nova heard on his way into town, but that terrifying night was the catalyst for a full-blown mystery-solving quest. As much as it freaked me out to know that someone was out there killing people, it was also fascinating to see how Nova, Mercy, and their kids hunted down clues to try to figure out what was really going on. Unlike some mysteries where the killer is obvious from the start, Nicky James took me on a wild goosechase trying to figure out who was responsible for the crime. It delighted me to scoop up every breadcrumb Nicky James sprinkled throughout the pages and try to puzzle out the truth for myself, even if I did get it wrong 90% of the time. In a story like this, I think pacing is one of the most important elements, and Nicky James did a fantastic job stringing me along with little reveals without unraveling the entire mystery too quickly.
As far as the actual romance in this story was concerned, Nova and Mercy's relationship definitely wasn't mind-blowingly intimate, but I also don't think it would have felt realistic for it to be. With so much going on with the suspense storyline and the added concern for their teenage kids, it would have just been strange for Nova and Mercy to wrap themselves up in a bubble and explore their chemistry. These men behaved like any dads would, putting the safety of their kids first at all times and quietly sharing little moments together in the space in between. I honestly thought it was impressive that these men were able to get as close as they did in this story, because I did see their sparks of chemistry ignite into something real and lasting.
At the end of the day, Nova and Mercy's adventure may not have been the swooniest love affair, but it was a captivating mystery with delightful twists and turns and a romance that felt refreshingly balanced with life as a dad.

Cooper had complained long and hard on the journey when he learned that he would be cut off from all social media contact and with potentially only his dad, Nova, for company. However, he is intrigued on the journey when their car radio picks up a weirdly compelling static message hinting at a long ago unsolved mystery, which message is apparently coming from a defunct radio station that Nova remembers from his youth. On arrival at their cabin Cooper’s teenage boy hormones perk up when he sees the pretty girl who is living in the cabin across the lake. A long WIFI free summer in a cabin in the woods with his dad has suddenly become more attractive.
Soon the four have become friends and are spending more and more time together. Not only are the kids enjoying each others company - the two single dads are not immune to each others attractiveness either and I loved the slow build of their relationship and romance throughout the book which wasn’t without its disagreements on their different parenting styles. However, their disagreements and differences only added to the realness of the story for me.
Intermittently, more intriguing messages are picked up from the radio and soon not only are the four swimming and chatting together but they’ve amateur sleuthing together; trying to piece together what the erratic and obviously rather frightened voice is trying to convey about the disappearance of a girl on a night long ago.
The mystery and intrigue ratchets up and it becomes obvious that there is a lot more to it than meets the eye and maybe they should be backing off. But the fundamental decentness of the two men means they just cannot leave it alone when they feel that there’s a wrong that has never been righted.
Radio Static is an intriguing and well thought out mystery. At no time are we expected to believe that the adults are anything other than amateurs at what they’re doing, they stumble around and get it wrong, but that’s part of this story’s charm. I loved it. I loved the dynamics of the two twosomes, Nova’s laid back approach to parenthood (his birds and bees chats with Cooper are priceless), and Mercy’s mile wide protective streak - which most dads with a teenage daughter will understand. I just loved everything about this book and its characters.
Nick J Russo’s perfect interpretation of the many characters added an extra dimension to an already great story. In particular Cooper’s ‘duh’ voice when trying to convey how his dad is embarrassing him was just perfection. I’ve heard my poor hubby on the end of that ‘please stop and what could you possibly know about it’ voice many times in our son’s teens.
Another great listen from team Nicky James/Nick Russo.

The mystery part gets pretty intense. There are quite a few twists that keep it interesting. This is where the emotion grabbed me.
I believe the narration by Nick J. Russo adds personality to the characters. His way of giving each character their individuality brings the story to life. He makes it easy to visualize exactly what the author has created.
Outstanding story from author and narrator

The elements of the mystery/suspense plot, the romance and strong character development are all perfectly balanced in this well written audiobook. I was fully invested from the very first chapter and fell into the intrigue, gasping were necessary and having “oh” moments.
Also really appreciated that Nova and Mercy are two mature aged (in their forties) single Dads each raising a teenager and how the portrayal of their lives was so realistic. Their attraction is undeniable and they slow burn their way to more steamy moments but their journey is not just about that. There’s the realism of starting a romance with two teens to take into account.
So after some drama, some suspense, some feels and a well earned HEA, I was left with a very full and happy heart for Nova and Mercy at the end of the audio.
Absolutely wonderful!

I really enjoyed the mystery surrounding Vivian's disappearance and the radio ramblings Nova and his 16-year-old Cooper came upon on their way to their month-long stay in a remote cabin by the lake. The amateur sleuthing was fun and it provided a way for Nova to bond with his neighbor Mercy and his 14yo daughter Rae, They were all really great at investigating together, even if it put them in harm's way. But what's a little sleuthing without the danger, right?
Nova and Mercy had a lot of chemistry and I loved them together, even if Mercy got on my nerves a bit with his wanting to live for his daughter and give up on love bit. And I thought Ms. James captured the teen's essence with Cooper and Rae, who I adored.
Nick J. Russo, as always, absolutely nailed the narration. Not only did he provide distinct voices for each of the characters but he gave that eerie sense when the radio bits came.
This is definitely an audiobook you don't want to miss out on! Highly recommendable!
Really enjoyable mystery!
