Born to Run audiobook

Picked up as many books at the library as I could before they closed a few months ago, and this one turned out to be a winner. I'll have to read the series now. Jack Swyteck is an interesting dude. A criminal defense attorney in Miami, dating an FBI agent he gets entangled in a murder case (Is his dad, the former Governor of Florida and current candidate to replace murdered VP Harry Grayson, a suspect?). A lot of interesting characters including the Greek, his former wife, the President, the Vice President's wife, daughter, and lover....all mixed up in a who-donit and what did they really do? Give it a go if you can. I'm going to track down "Intent to Kill" the follow up to this novel as well as an earlier one in the series, "Last Call". Sometimes it takes a little Pandemic to find a really good author!

Jack Swyteck gets himself into more difficult sitauations than any other lawyer on the planet.This time, he is with his father who has been tapped to become the next US Vice-President after the untimely death of his predecessor. But was this death a natural occurrence or was it murder? And who is the mysterious “Greek” from the early '60's who is bringing so much trouble to Jack and others 46 years later? A fast paced easy read.

I liked the twist at the end. I did not see the "secret" coming.

Audio book read by Jonathan Davis who always does a brilliant job. Poor Jack, another mustang bites the dust! I loved this novel. Jack Swyteck gets caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and murder at the top levels of the U.S. government when the vice-president dies ( gets murdered) and Jack's father is called upon by the president to be his new vice-president, but there's a secret out there that could take the president down. Great suspense until the very end and then a little romance between Jack and Andie which is always a good thing!

You’ll want to read Born To Run for the ending.

I loved Theo. He made the book much more entertaining. I never had a friend who behaved so outrageously, yet still managed to be cherished as a friend. Theo should have his own book. It is hard to come up with fresh plots for novels. This book had one, at least far as I know. Not knowing the big secret that threatened the President until the end of the book was not unusual for a novel. I kept wondering what kind of situation or crime or scandal could result in the immediate removal of the sitting President. After all, what President in real life has ever been quickly removed from office? The President in the novel not being born in America or naturalized later comes to mind as one of the only situations where in the face of proof, a sitting President would have to vacate the office, no matter the politics. A great idea.

Well-crafted, entertaining continuation of the Jack Swytek novel series. This one adds in a new level of intrigue as it involves the President of the United States and the potential for Jack's father to go to Washington. The tale is cautionary, to say the least. Little do we know of the intrigues that constitute our capitol.

My first grippando novel and not my last. Thought I had this figured out and Grippando had me guessing until the end. Reminds me a lot of Martini and Baldacci so if you like them you will definitely like Grippando. I especially liked that the characters were simple. Enough to keep me thinking and not so many I couldn't keep them straight.

Intriguing It was catching from the first page. If I don’t get caught up within a few pages of won’t read the book. Good story line with a good ending.

Narrated by Ray Foushee for the National Library for the Blind and Print Disabled.A good lawyer thriller for a blanket fort kind of day.

Born to runAnother fantastic read with Jack, Theo and Andie heading the list of star players. Intrigue excitement and a great ending.

4.5 stars. Fast paced and unique plot. A few cheesy lines here and there but another enjoyable book in the series and genre.

I really enjoy this book a lot of drama and exciting To read.
