Review: Death in the Diamond Lane by Pete O’Donnell, read by Scott Brick

Death in the Diamond Lane is a brilliant and fresh debut thriller novel by Pete O’Donnell, a former Palo Alto limo driver who hopefully will become a successful writer. I won’t spoil the plot for you, but I can assure you that this is a very promising audio production that will keep you thrilled, entertained, amused and hooked until the very end.
Mr. O’Donnell draws on his own experience as a limo driver to craft a captivating story with engaging characters, a fast-paced plot and vividly described locations. The story revolves around the seemingly ordinary life of a limo driver who transports different clients around the state, but when some of them try to harm him, he realizes that he may have some crucial information that could cost him his life. This is one of those audiobooks that will make you smile as you listen.
The audiobook version of Death in the Diamond Lane is flawlessly performed by the multi-award-winning narrator, actor and voice artist, Scott Brick. In case you lived under a rock and for some reason you are not familiar with Scott, he is the man, the myth, the legend who has narrated over 1,000 audiobooks in his distinguished career and won probably all possible awards in the Audiobooks Industry.
As always, his narration elevates the narrative experience to new levels of immersion and enjoyment. Those who follow my reviews know that Scott is one of my favorite narrators in the industry and I am always delighted to listen to him as he brings more unique stories to life.
I highly recommend Death in the Diamond Lane to everyone who loves a good thriller with a twist of mystery and a dash of humor. Fans of Nelson DeMille in particular should definitely pay attention to this new author as I am sure we will see more of him in the future.
Although this is the first novel by Mr. O’Donnell, I hope he will continue to write because he is a true storyteller. I am always happy when I discover a new author and this time my joy was doubled, as Scott brought this amazing story to life.
Pick up Death in the Diamond Lane right now and immerse yourself in its treacherous world!
