"Lady Justice loves her Rock 'n Roll."

Would you consider the audio edition of Lady Justice and the Lost Tapes to be better than the print version?

Not having read the print edition I am not really qualified to say. But that's not going to stop me:..
I cannot imagine any way of 'reading' this superbly written book better than that of listening to the 65 years old, newly enlisted cop, Walt William's personal reminiscences of his adventures both in and out of the police job, recounted through the voice of narrator, George Much. He brings Walt, with his grumbles, aches, pains and hilarious stories fully to life. It's like having a friend telling tales around the table (even if a few comments are a little too private to be heard in this way). And some of the situations are really laugh out loud funny, like Thanksgiving dinner, as well as all the dressing up for the undercover jobs he is asked to do.
Throughout it all, Kuch's steady, warm voice is the perfect Walt. In conversations, each character is clearly distinguishable but that hardly seems to matter: it is being Walt with all of his ideosyncracies that is important.

Any additional comments?

Walt is a great character and his friends are equally interesting, from his partner in the force to the retired con man, and the lady realtor to an unrelenting one liner comedian. The book is so packed with verbal and visual jokes (told in low key, grumpy-old-man way), that it is surprising that there is time left for the crime story. But there it is, mixed into the personal life of Walt and his friends.
Oh, this is such an enjoyable book and I am greatly indebted to the right's holder for gifting it to me, via Audiobook Boom. Lady Justice and the Lost Tapes is the second book in the series but completely stand alone. However,. I'm pretty certain that anyone listening to this who hasn't heard book one (Lady Justice Takes a C.R.A.P.) will immediately put it on their must get list. It's a hoot, too.
Me? I'm going to start on book three, now.

It would be a shame to lose this book

I enjoyed this book. It is book two in the series but you not need to have read the previous book to enjoy it, although it does help as it introduces Walt's friendships more thoroughly. I love the side characters especially the feisty Mary but all the characters are fun and will have you laughing at there antics, if not there jokes.
Patrolman Walt's friend is worried about an old girlfriend, who just happens to be a hooked and turns to his good friend for help. Investigating leads to a whole bigger problem and soon leads to mob connection, crooked cops,dead bodies and burnt buildings but it is all in a day's works for a policeman. What isn't in a day's work for most cops is going undercover in guy bar, dressing up as a woman or entering an Elvis impersonator competition but for 65 year old Walt anything goes, now if only cooking a thanksgiving turkey was so simple.
I like the narrator, he has a deep voice but can still pull of ladies voices with easy.

Meh

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I think I missed something in this book because it felt like it should be funny, but it felt flat. I particularly disliked the cooking chapters, which I just found quite boring.

I did really like the characters, who felt real. I also really like how each of these books can be read as standalone novels.
