About this listen
Ripped from the current headlines, Daniel O’ Dwyer is doing his best to survive on his Oak Island paradise during these unprecedented times; through this uncharted territory; in the midst of these seismic events… The pharmacy director at Boiling Grove Community Hospital dies at his desk, leading Daniel back to the hospital, the last place he wants to be. At first, the death seems natural, but with the aid of deceased sovereign Charlemagne, King of the Franks, Daniel discovers more than he bargained for.
Meanwhile, Daniel’s germophobe sidekick, Willie, invents a unique way to socially distance and still carry on a conversation. Will this be helpful to Daniel or just an annoying hindrance that makes him want to scream at the top of his lungs? And what happened to his girlfriend Jaclyn? It seems she left town and left him to wallow in self-pity, loneliness, and Fat Tire Amber Ale. But his time is soon filled with a new female—a Pom-A-Weenie named Lucy—and a young neighbor boy whose mother is seriously ill.
Will Daniel (and King Charlemagne) discover the truth? Will Willie starve to death on the Silent Cow? Will Daniel find new romance (besides the Pom-A-Weenie)? Will Daniel (gasp) have to go back to work a third time? With old and new quirky characters, “Ripped Current” is the fifth in the Oak Island series and the third Daniel O’Dwyer adventure which began with “Ripped Tide”, a 2017 McGrath House Indie Book Award Winner in the Humor Category.

Story
The quirky local patrons and owners of No Egrets are back, ready to solve another Oak Island mystery or two (or three). The long-awaited fourth book in the humorous Oak Island series! When Glenn buys an antique medicine cabinet and moves it beside the Wurlitzer at No Egrets (much to Glenda’s chagrin), he is surprised when a black notebook falls out from behind the middle drawer. Upon further inspection, he finds a small metal box Velcroed to the side of the drawer. The notebook contains chemical structures and the results from experiments; the box contains trinkets including a gold tooth....

A twisted tale of murder in the world of big-stakes bass fishing tournaments. Filled with ex-wives, evangelists, and an armed pit-bull, this is a story that could only be concocted by Carl Hiaasen, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, New York Times best-selling author, and czar of Florida noir fiction.

Story
In the grand tradition of Elmore Leonard, Laurence Shames creates an outrageous heavyweight thriller that’s heavy on atmosphere and action. Joey Goldman is a low-level New York hustler. He’s taking a working vacation in South Florida and looking to score big with a time-share scam. His half brother Gino Delgatto is a man in need of a fall guy. When they meet in Key West, the term dysfunctional family takes on a new meaning. Will one of them succeed? Or will the Miami mob find an eye-popping way to dispose of them both?

Really? Covid based satire?
I don’t like anything about this read, and the virtual narrative is horrible. What a waste of my money and time, who wants to relive that period of time? Not funny at all.
