ON THE ROCKS (An Ozzie Novak Thriller Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 433 ratings

A puzzling request…

…and a seduction of greed.

Will Ozzie be burned for good?

Settling into life with a new family, Ozzie is determined to make this PI gig work. But only on his terms. And then a mysterious person shows up. She’s desperate. It’s a simple case. Get the pictures, collect the fees, and move on. Until a gun goes off.

Who could be behind the murder?

All hell breaks loose. Another murder…this one more personal than the first. Ozzie can't make sense of any of it. The lies, the cheating all blur together. He's stuck in the middle of this twisted storm, unable to find the truth…in everyone else. Even in himself.

Can he cut through the fog of deception?

Ozzie knows he has a soft spot for those who've been taken advantage of. But one man can take only so much. And he won’t stop until he uncovers the root of this conspiracy.

Who will be the last person standing?

You’ll love the third Ozzie Novak story, because the suspense builds until the shocking conclusion.

Get it now.

Amazon #1 Bestselling Author and a Readers' Favorite Gold Medal winner.

A veteran of the corporate rat-race, John W. Mefford never realized he was mentally documenting every experience of his professional journey—not until he started his first novel during a so-called "corporate timeout."

A voracious reader of mystery-thrillers since before he could shave, John enjoys weaving a twisty tale that keeps readers riveted until the last page. ​He's also learned he's pretty good at embellishing. Just don't tell his fourth-grade teacher.

    This is the 3rd Ozzie Novak Thriller and #15 in the Redemption Thriller Series. Each one of the overall series just gets better. The Ozzie Novak’s are great and as with the others you won’t be able to put this one down. John takes you on an awesome thrill ride that is more chilling than the last one. You can read this as a stand alone but I would suggest that you at least start with the first Ozzie Novak thriller and catch up to this one. You can tackle the other thrillers as you are able to. Characters from the other series are starting to show up in the Ozzie Novak Books. John Mefford does this in a seamless way without interruption of the story but an add to it. Please don’t miss these thrillers. They are worth every cent. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one. I hope my heart can handle it. Hope to see you there.

    Do you like action? Intrigue? Lovable and relatable characters? Then this is the book for you! John Mefford knows how to write interesting characters that seem to be people you know. Grab any of his books and you won't regret it. Can't wait for the next in the series!

    Another great book in the redemption series.
    Ozzie is trying to settle in to a normal life with his newly found daughter. He still doesn't want to work as an attorney, so he tries to give the private investigator gig a good try. But when Rosie walks into his office asking for help to get dirt on her cheating husband, he finds himself drawn into more than just a normal case.
    This book has more twists and turns as his life seems to have.

    I most definitely recommend this book and all the books in the series! John Mefford is on of my favorite authors. All of his books pull you in from the beginning and you better hold on tight for the ride!

    Bought all of the books in the Ozzie Novak series, and thought that too much dialog was written to explain the
    very slightest of actions by each character (ie locks of hair, tripping). OZ was a bumbler for sure!!

    It's gotten so I expect a great read from John Mefford, and this third book in the third part of the series did not let me down. I discovered the Alex Troutt part of the Redemption series by chance and have since become an ardent fan. I hope new readers can start at the beginning of the series (or at least at the beginning of the Ozzie portion), but anyone who likes suspense that is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the very last page will be entertained. The characters are well-developed and realistic, far from perfect, but trying to do the right thing (at least most of them!). Once again, I'm anxiously awaiting the next book of the series.

    This series is fascinating in that the book starts with a lot of seemingly unrelated events and then by the end hey all come together in creative ways. Ozzie and Mackenzie are doing great, but they both are still working on settling into a rhythm with everyone outside of them.

    The new case brings a new woman and a heap of drama for personal and professional reasons. Ozzie has some action scenes, detective and intrigue scenes and some heartwarming scenes. The father daughter bonding was great and I enjoyed seeing the dynamic between Brook and Ozzie. It is different from Stan and Ivy (cop and civilian) but it is starting to be the same with a friendship and trust in each other’s abilities.

    I thought the story did a good job wrapping up Th loose ends, though I am curious about this contract that Steve keeps mentioning. Also the ending brings Ivy back to this storyline and I can’t wait to see ivy and Ozzie work together in the next book 🙌🏻

    If you really enjoy a tight, well written book, and thriller stories are your cup of tea, this is the book for you. While “ON The Rocks” is well into the Redemption series, you will find it an excellent stand alone book. If you have never read any of John Mefford’s tales, you will be in for a treat. Once you start, you just cannot put this book down. So hit the “buy” button now. You will not regret it, and will thank me later.

    Good book. I enjoy Ozzie and the problems he attracts. He's a sucker for the under dog.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Ozzie thrillers
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2018
    I had forgotten that I had read the first Ozzie thriller a while ago, but when I started this book I realized it was part of a series, and it was a very enjoyable read. Ozzie is a likeable character and a really decent guy, who tries to do his best, although in this book he is the last to know what is going on. His protectiveness towards Mackenzie is endearing. The book develops at a fast pace, there is a bit of violence. A really good read if you want to relax after work. You can read it as a standalone, you don’t have to read the whole series, although I am going to go back and read the previous book. I am looking forward to the next instalment.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2018
    This brilliant series continues with this cracking story which continues the adventures of Ozzie Novak and his new career as a PI. Needless to say things don't really go according to plan, and he is thrust into situations that tests him to the limit.
    Once again John Mefford has written a book with lots of twists and turns, some great action scenes and great characters. The whole 'Redemption' series is coming together and building to a climax. I wholeheartedly recommend the Ozzie Novak sub-series and the Redemption series.
