If you love a gripping mystery, a determined sleuth, and twists you’ll never see coming, the Jake Scott Mystery Series is for you.
Jake Scott was once a respected journalist. Now retired and lonely, he finds himself drawn back into danger time and again, uncovering dark secrets others would rather keep hidden.

Jake thought a cruise would be the perfect escape, a chance to relax and leave danger behind. But when a murder rocks the ship, he realizes the killer is onboard, and the truth is buried somewhere in the endless ocean around them.
Will Jake find the answers before the ship docks? Or will the shadows claim another victim?

Review Of The Vanishing Wife Audiobook
The first review is in for The Vanishing Wife at Audiobooks Unleashed:
“In this story, Barry Finlay has written about a man who wakes up one morning to find his wife gone, with no message or clue as to where she went. The reader gets a real sense of the main character in the opening pages of the book. The action in this tale builds slowly, but the ending is surprising and explosive. I recommend this book to others who like this genre. Trevor Finlay’s narration is good and adds a layer of entertainment to the story.” – Laura

Now for the so-so news for the Audible subscribers. A production glitch has delayed the release of the audiobook on Audible by about a month. It’s coming, but it will take a little longer than expected. Watch these pages for an announcement of its release date.
In the meantime, stay healthy!
Audiobook Retailers
Here is a list of locations currently selling The Vanishing Wife audiobook. I will be adding to this post every time a new retailer comes on board.
Authors Direct (direct from my storefront)
Audiobook is Now Available
The wait is over! The Vanishing Wife, narrated and produced by son and Nashville singer/songwriter Trevor Finlay, is now available from Authors Direct at Findaway Voices. If you are a fan of Audible, ITunes or some of the other audio book retailers, you will have to wait a little longer. But you can get it right now by clicking on the link. Barry Finlay – Authors Direct Audiobooks (authors-direct.com). After ordering the book, you will receive an email with instructions for listening. Listen as Trevor brings the characters from the first book in The Marcie Kane Thriller Collection to life.
Audiobook Update
I thought I should provide a little update into the audiobook process. As I mentioned earlier, The Vanishing Wife is being produced as an audiobook. Son and Nashville singer/songwriter Trevor Finlay is narrating and producing the book. He has done his thing and now it’s up to me to give it a final listen.
When it’s ready to go, it will be uploaded to the distributor. That should happen early next week. Then it takes up to two weeks to hit the stores. It will probably take longer to reach Audible since it’s, well, Amazon. It takes longer to get to speed with an 18-wheeler than it does with a Honda Civic, if you know what I mean.
The good news is, it’s coming. Here’s a sample from the book.
