About this listen

One postman! Two postmen! Three postmen! All murdered!

John J. Malone sticks his nose into the case of the dead postmen and picks up a crack on the head, an Australian beer hound, and six redheaded twins. It all begins when he takes on a new client, Rodney Fairfaxx. Rodney was tabbed for the postmen murders because he hadn’t received a letter from a dead girl for more than 30 years. Malone doesn’t think that this is enough reason to kill, but he can’t prove it.

I thought I'd give this a go after listening to The Sunday Pigeon, written by the same author(featuring a completely different set of characters) and read by Johnny Heller. I'd come across Johnny Heller when he narrated P N Elrod's Vampire Diaries. His voice is perfect for the setting of this ....40s 'gumshoe nostalgia' as a previous reviewer said.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, had quite a few unexpected laugh out loud moments. Unexpected because I hadn't imagined it would have comedic moments.

Thank you Audible's Plus catalogue for giving me the opportunity to listen to hidden gems like this.

A real treat

Good story overall .Excellent narration brings comic moments to life,and lifts the story. Like a Damon Runyon meets Raymond Chandler. Lots to enjoy along the way in this story.!

Good ,entertaining listen!
