My first book by Andrew Diamond and certainly not my last. I was hooked from the beginning. Love love love this story.

Freddy Ferguson has been hired to find Karl Larson, who has disappeared without a trace. Karl’s boss, an obnoxious man named Leighton Graham, says he’s invaluable to the firm and he wants him back immediately. His wife says Freddy has been more upbeat lately, after the struggles they’ve had he’s talking about getting out of debt, buying a house in an upscale neighborhood, going on vacation and living a better life. Karl was working alone late one evening and just disappeared. As Freddy digs in deeper he finds that things just don’t add up.

Freddy is not one of the comic book heroes that never makes a mistakes, he’s honest, hardworking, and somewhat flawed, but he doesn’t give up on this case even after he’s fired. He keeps asking questions, examining clues, and getting in deeper. He’s running out of time, will he be too late

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book is part of a series but it’s also a great standalone book as well. This is one of this who done it books? Keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Thank you netgalley.

High paced thriller, just not my cup of tea. I couldn’t connect with the characters very well, but the plot was well structured and driven!

32 Minutes is well written and characters are realistic. Freddy Ferguson is a former boxer that handed in the gloves to become a PI. Freddy is practical and true to life. He has flaws, doubts, and uncertainties. Yet has charm, confidence, and is likable. This is book three in the series but a stand alone novel. Ferguson takes a case to find a missing coworker and partner in a corporate office. The man that hires him is arrogant, overbearing, impatient and bossy. These two men mix like water and oil. Ferguson needs the income so he keeps the job. Soon he learns someone will stop at nothing to end this case. I gave it 3 stars because I was not surprised by the outcome I did not feel it had any twist. Thank you NetGalley and Stolen Time Press for an ARC in exchange for my review.

A good who done it? What happened to Karl Larsson? It is up to Freedy Ferguson to find out. This book will keep you guessing all the way to the end which is always the making of a good book. The characters are all good as well and the story is one that will keep you guessing along with Freedy’s life which just adds to this story. The ending is really good and a very good book.

Disappearance. This concept can be the base of a whole book/story. This is one of those. Very interesting. Another one you can't put down til you find out what happened. Really good.

A fast-paced, compelling whodunnit with a subtle sense of humour. This is the 4th novel in a series, but I came into it fresh and found it very readable as a stand-alone story. Having said that, Freddy is a wonderfully likeable, imperfect protagonist and this book has left me wanting more, so I'll be keeping an eye out for more in this series in future.

It was alright. I know it was an investigation but it just seemed like a whole lot of characters, a whole lot of moving parts. I tried to get into it more and skimmed some pages to find really exciting stuff, but I never really did. Sometimes I thought the investigator made choices that a real investigator wouldn't getting robbed and beat up by putting himself into situations shoulda known better.

This book , even tho it’s a series it’s a great standalone. It has great twists. I enjoyed this one very much. Highly recommend

Thank you to the author, Stolen Time Press and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After reading the second of this series a year ago and making the acquaintance of Freddy Ferguson, a former boxer turned PI, I was excited to read the next book in the series - and this did not disappoint. This story is a fast-paced, quiet but deadly thriller that is very enjoyable. Ferguson comes across as a classic hard-boiled noir PI, but he's actually an old softie, as evidenced by the fact that he cannot let go when he is hired to find a missing corporate executive, and fired in short order by the CEO, who is an arrogant bully. The story takes lots of surprising twists and turns, and the ending is hugely satisfying - particularly because throughout the book we are given glimpses of Freddy's inner dialogue and questions about his personal life.

This another Freddy Ferguson story. I will tell you right up front this is the first one of the series the story line did not make me feel like I needed to read the first two. Freddy Ferguson is a private investigator who works for a firm that also employees his current girlfriend. He is contacted for a job by a company called Recursion Talent when their Chief Technology Officer up and disappears. Its Freddy's job to find out why was another girlfriend, stealing money, technology thief? But Freddy has to deal with a literal pain the butt CEO who thinks he is way above everybody else and he will let you know it. This company as an AI division that has produced a special surveillance ware. This story is fast paced from the start and overall, a quick read with many twists and a secondary story line where Freddy is trying to figure out what the future holds for him and his girlfriend.

32 Minutes by Andrew Diamond is the third book in the Freddy Ferguson series, featuring the former boxer turned Private Investigator. Freddy doesn’t care too much for his new client, a corporate cost-cutter executive who is rude, blunt, and wants a competent job done. His Chief Technology Officer has gone missing, without any apparent reason or explanation. Freddy investigates using his own intuition, which his client finds fault with but then a body turns up, concluding the case. As Freddy struggles with a big decision in his private life, he finds himself in danger and dissatisfied with the outcome. With its enjoyable mix of interesting characters and twisty crime mystery, this is a three stars suspense thriller rating. With thanks to Stolen Time Press and the author, for an uncorrected advanced review copy for review purposes. As always, the opinions herein are totally my own, freely given and without inducement.

This is my first book by Andrew Diamond and I havent read the other books in this series. But this book can be read as a stand alone.
I liked the mystery and the characters. But Freddy seemed too emotional and takes questionable decision.
I have added the other books to my 'To-Read' list
<i> Thanks to NetGalley, the Author and the Publisher for the ARC</i>

Thank you for the opportunity to preview 32 Minutes. This was really good. I didn’t realize this is book 2 of a crime series but it didn’t matter. And I read this authors 1st book in 2018. So that being said this is a fast paced crime novel that will keep you guessing till the end.
Freddy Ferguson is a private investigator and he gets a case to find a missing man for a large company. The owner is rude and overbearing but Freddy takes the job.
Soon Freddy finds himself in the middle of a murder and he might be next. Buy Freddy won’t give up till he solves the crime or die trying.
4 stars. Very good

Freddy Ferguson, private investigator, didn’t care much for the arrogant attitude of the company’s current client. At first, he thought it was only his take on the person. Later, he learned that he wasn’t the only one who felt this way. What kept him going with the case was the information he gathered on the missing person, Karl Larsson. The deeper Freddy dove into the disappearance of Mr. Larsson, the more he realized things weren’t adding up. The more invested he became in the investigation, the more he felt the need to discovery the truth.

Mr. Diamond did a wonderful job of keeping me invested in the story from beginning to end. To me, the characters and the situations, within this book, were realistic. Since, this novel was written in a first-person perspective, I had the benefit of seeing Freddy’s thought process firsthand.

Side Note: This is the third book in an ongoing series, I highly recommend reading the other two books beforehand to better understand the background of the recurring characters.

The pace is fast I read it fast to set the scene. A great read, I have been reading historical fiction for ages but this crime drama hooked me back again.

The first of the Freddy Ferguson books I’ve read and I’ll definitely be going back to read the first two. This book was so good.
A corporate executive goes missing and Freddy Ferguson is on the case to find out what happened, hired by the very unlikeable Leighton Graham.
Karl Larsson (the missing person) has financial woes, a drug problem and a mistress - did any or all of these play a part in his disappearance?
Or is there something else.

A definite must read from me. Twists and turns that kept me glued and a satisfying conclusion.
