Brett Cornell Mystery #9
Don't Mess with Brett
The life of an unscrupulous bastard can sometimes be fraught with difficulties.
First, there was the sweet young thing who claimed he'd impregnated her.
(Know what a condom is, Brett?)
Then there was the desperate young man who wanted to take him to court.
(One of the risks you run when you insist upon being so unscrupulous.)
How about the guy who showed up at his apartment and threatened him at gunpoint?
(Punching him out at that party might not have been such a good idea.)
Or the ex-girlfriend who came back, just to call him STUPID?
('Nuff said.)
But when someone left a dead body on top of his bedspread, the message that needed to be sent out was clear:
"Don't mess with Brett!"

My favorite series ever, you’ll find everything in this series, murder, comedy, detective work, violence, sex and no political correctness what so ever.
The best of this series is that every book is better then the one before which is unusual.
No matter how much you’ll try you’ll never find a better series and by using audio no less then perfection was created !
David D. D’Aguamno is amazing, using Travis Henry Carter for narration complete this masterpiece.
Guaranteed enjoyment and laughter with tears.
Absolutely recommended with all my heart.
Even so that I got this audiobook for free, I believe that my review was absolutely honest and couldn’t be better.

( Format : Audiobook )
"100% grade A all American beef."
The ninth and, apparently, last of this truly terrific series in which the detestable, pugalistic, self styled unscrupulous hastard, Brett Cornell, recounts the happenings in his daily life. Egotistical, opinionated and narcissistic, for some reason best known to themselves, the ladies swoon over his muscled physique, golden curls and fine moustache, overlooking his foul habits, mangled ear, rudeness and inappropriate phrases.
This time, Brett had reluctantly attended a double shower with his current live in girlfriend where he met, and attracted, two stunning women, both relatives of Lola. Shortly after, he also agreed to undertake one of the easiest P.I. jobs ever - to find out who one of the soon to be married women is cheating with - for which he received the handsome sum of $500. So everything seems pretty good for Brett, except ...
Reading as the first person, Travis Henry Carter once again becomes Brett, his personality oozing from every sentence. All of the other protagonists, male and female alike, also have their own very distinctive and appropriate voices and reflect their own emotions, be they anger, fear, shame, hurt or protestations of affection.
My deepest thanks to the rights holder of Don't Mess with Brett who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. I have loved every outrageous minute of this laugh out loud, tongue in cheek series which doesn't have a politically correct word in its body.
Definitely recommended to everyone who doesn't take everything too seriously.

Wow!
I don't think I ever read/heard a book in which I hated the main character so much! I absolutely loved it! :)
David D. D'Aguanno managed to create a character which is so antagonistic to everything normal and basic human decency.
The book is very well written and the narrator, Travis Henry Carter, is doing an amazing job in bringing Brett Cornell to life.
I received this audiobook at my request and I voluntarily wrote a review.

This book was recommended by a friend. At the beginning I wondered who would want to read about such an awfully obnoxious bloke At the end I wondered why I had! He is, as is made abundantly clear, an unscrupulous bastard, and goes out of his way to prove this. I found him really vile. Yet, against my better judgement I was drawn to this disgusting creature! Well, I'm only a woman! ;-)
This book is very much written tongue in cheek, and takes you through the repercussions of Brett's obscene behaviour.
I would have liked a bit more detail of the down and dirty love making. It is apparently legendary, but the actual sex scenes are slightly glossed over. But otherwise very well written. I was genuinely annoyed at his misquotes, and rolled my eyes at his lack of knowledge! But if he came knocking at my door I'm not sure I could resist. ;-P
I might well read another one. You know, just to be sure he is truly dirty! ;-)

A fun read!
This is a hugely enjoyable book which can safely be regarded as an over-the-top comedy, rather than a mystery novel in the conventional sense. You will certainly get quite a few laughs out of this book, provided you are not easily offended by Brett's outrageous antics and infuriating attitude!
