Moonlight Falls Editor’s Cut Editions is one heck of an entertaining tale that introduces Dick Moonlight and starts the Dick Moonlight PI series. While I can’t compare the version that hasn’t been lengthened, I’m betting it was probably close to being the same. I must admit to reading a few other books in the series prior to listening to Moonlight Falls so this wasn’t my initial introduction to Dick Moonlight. Now so many references in the other books make perfect sense, so if you are thinking of reading any of the Dick Moonlight series, do yourself a huge favor, read or listen to Moonlight Falls first. Recently I listened to Mind Pieces – one of Vin Zandri’s non-fiction books. I have to say I believe that book provided context to some of the characters and some of the situations Dick finds himself in in this story. Honestly, I believe what’s found in Mind Pieces provides inspiration in several of his works.
If you enjoy PI stories, or stories with lots of action, dialogue that borders on irreverent or flat out snarky and characters who have serious defects – character and physical – you owe it to yourself to experience Moonlight Falls. If you really want to experience Moonlight Falls, get a copy of the audiobook narrated by Andrew B Wehrien. Andrew’s narration skills take an awesome story and kicks it up a couple of notches with his character voices and excellent pacing and variation in delivery.
