Rock-and-roll journalist Mick Sever is back with a new assignment to interview music legend Danny Murtz. One of the most successful producers in history, Murtz has walls lined with platinum records--and a closet full of skeletons. But before Mick can hop a plane to the island paradise where Murtz has secluded himself after his latest "incident" (Murtz's romantic conquests have a way of vanishing into thin air), he's nearly run down by a speeding car. Coincidence? Anonymous threats have Murtz convinced that someone is out to bring him down. Ravaged by mounting paranoia and fueled by drugs and alcohol, Murtz begins to suspect everyone, and Mick Sever is at the top of his list. If Mick isn't careful, his next column will be an obituary--his obituary.

St Barts Breakdown (Audible Audio Edition) Don Bruns Paul Garcia Inc Blackstone Audio Books Reviews
Entertainment journalist Mick Sever has been assigned to interview well-known, reclusive music producer Danny Murtz. Murtz is one of the best known, prolific, and powerful producers on the music scene. Sever travels to St. Bart's to interview Murtz expecting to be home within a day or two.
From the moment he received the assignment, Sever seemed to attract a disturbing number of near-fatal accidents - one before he even left Chicago. Thinking it was just a coincidence, he proceeded with his assignment.
In the meantime, Danny Murtz continues his downhill slide into booze, drugs, and abusive behavior to all around him. He has killed several people, but so far has not been caught thanks to his attorney and cleaner-upper Harvey Schwartz. He is also attended by long-time secretary Nancy.
As the attempts on Mick's life escalate, the reader is also privy to the actions of others including a mysterious woman who is keeping an eye on Murtz and the conversations and interactions between Murtz and his handlers. As more deaths occur, Sever is often reminded that there are no murders on St. Bart's - bad for tourism. Can Sever convince the police that there is a killer that must be stopped or will he end up the next victim?
St. Bart's Breakdown is a fast-paced thriller with more than one twisted character, multiple deaths and threats of death, and an increasingly deranged killer on the loose. Fans of Don Bruns will welcome this edition to the Mick Sever series.
This is the fourth entry in Don Bruns' series whose protagonist is Mick Sever, `rock and roll journalist' who writes `entertainment' articles for the Chicago Tribune. Now working as a freelance writer, he still gets calls from the Tribune from time to time, and has now been offered an assignment to interview music legend Danny Murtz, long-time successful producer of hit records going back many years, and a man with a nasty streak. A sub-text to the assignment is the investigation of rumored incidents in Murtz' past - women last seen in his company who had gone missing, these events being the subject of some anonymous letters received by the publication. The women in question had never been seen or heard from after `dates' with Danny Murtz, described as a `one-man wrecking crew' who `used his celebrity status to wreak havoc on everyone he touched.'
At the outset the reader is privy to the latest of Murtz' attacks, following which Harvey Schwartz, his attorney/manager/handler /cleaner-upper, tells Danny he will take care of the situation, and urges him to take a brief vacation at his villa in St. Barts [which he owns in addition to his mansion in Hollywood and townhouse in Chicago]. Danny is a man who occasionally doubts his own sanity, apparently with good reason, given his perpetually addled brain from the constant drugs, pills and booze in which he overindulges.
Mick Sever and Danny Murtz' lives, eerily, have many parallels - both Chicago natives, having come up in their professions at about the same time and both having attained different degrees of success and celebrity that each man covets while at times finding it an annoyance, both drinking too much [although in Danny everything took on exaggerated proportions] and both with failed relationships [although, again, Danny's have a much darker cause]. The music business is described as a "fantasy world, where money was everything and trust and honesty meant nothing." Danny must himself travel to St. Bart, where he finds his life in danger as he goes about his assignment in a place where fun, sun and rum are the raison d'etre, and murder and violence are not possible in this tourist-oriented world. Fast-paced, well-written, suspenseful, with considerable schadenfreude, this was a great read, and is recommended.
This is not best-selling author Don Bruns' first novel--and I hope it isn't his last. This guy can tell a story, filling it with characters--some you love, others you despise. He writes "good and evil" with the best of them.
Set on St. Barts island, the main bad guy is a smarmy, disgusting but oh so successful music producer/song writer, Danny Murtz. Danny likes to steal songs from others, and he likes to hit women while in a drug or alcohol-induced stupor. He is NOT a nice guy.
Mick Sever, entertainment writer for the Chicago Tribune, has been sent to St. Barts to interview Danny Murtz about his successful career--and if he can get some information about Murtz's role in several missing girls, so much the better.
Sever soon learns to look out, look behind you, check under your car, duck when you hear gunfire, listen to all the stories, but believe and trust no one.
Many people are out to get Murtz, including is own staff with whom he has a mutual hate relationship, including his fix-it-all-and-make-it-go-away attorney Harvey, and his long-time assistant Nancy.
In the book, St. Barts police looks the other way. Accidents happen, but there are NO murders on this tourist-dependent island.
Just when you figure out who is doing what, you are wrong. Sever's life is threatened once, twice and more, but he doesn't leave the island because he has to know. The bonus his publisher promised is secondary to the truth.
If you are used to reading mysteries that are as much thrillers/suspense, you may be used to reading about men hurting women. If not, be aware because on St. Bart and elsewhere, Murtz does it, and graphically. Celebrity Murtz does not have to follow rules. Sound familiar?
The author received several honors, including the 2007 Indie Excellence Award for South Beach Shakedown, another book in this mystery series that also contains Jamaica Blue, and Barbados Heat. He also wrote Stuff to Die For. He is a former musician who worked with major acts--so he knows the biz.
Armchair Interviews says If you are looking for a book that you read in one sitting, this is it. It is a 5-star "wow" read!
I'm always happy to read Don Bruns' books. Mick Sever is an interesting character. The rock and roll journalist has a great adventure in this book.
Book has arrived. Thank you!!!!
