Mickey Rawlings is Back!

The Roaring Twenties: America is dancing to jazz, gangsters are selling bootleg liquor, and the New York Yankees are building a baseball dynasty. In 1923, Yankee Stadium opens and Babe Ruth is about to lead the team to its first world's championship. But the promising season gets off to an ominous start when the body of a murdered bootlegger is found buried in the new ballpark.

The Tomb That Ruth Built is the seventh in Troy Soos's acclaimed Mickey Rawlings baseball mystery series.

I loved it. Mickey Rawlings is a great series and a great story line, especially if you love baseball.

Love these Baseball mysteries

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have listened to all of the Troy Soos books with Mickey Rawlings. I've enjoyed each and everyone of them. I keep them in my active folder so that I can listen to them over and over. I feel like they bring the baseball history to life, even though I know that Mickey is fictional character.

What other book might you compare The Tomb That Ruth Built to and why?

I would compare it to all of the Mickey Rawlings series books. They're all worth listening to over and over again

Mickey is always my favorite

If you could take any character from The Tomb That Ruth Built out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I would love to take Mickey Rawlings to dinner and just listen to him talk about baseball and the different teams and players that he's met

Any additional comments?

I wish there were more Mickey Rawlings stories.

The Roaring Twenties, Baseball, and Murder

My favorite genre is mysteries and I enjoy baseball so I was excited to listen to this story. The main character is Mickey Rawlins, a utility infielder, who recently joined the New York Yankees. He is an all around good guy and management pairs him up with Babe Ruth in hopes the he can be a good influence on Ruth. Meanwhile, Yankee Stadium is just being completed and a dead body is found in one of the walls. That is not the kind of publicity the owner needs so Mickey is enlisted to investigate while trying to keep news of the murder from getting out to the public. Mickey just wants to play ball but realizes if he doesn't take on the job he won't see much playing time.

The story felt very historically correct to me. Prohibition is in full swing and there are plenty of gangsters around. The author definitely knows baseball and has done his research on the time and setting. I listened with my daughter in the car and did not experience any cringe worthy moments which I appreciate. Johnny Heller did a great job narrating. I felt his pacing was good and his voice was a comfortable fit for the story.

This is book 7 in the Mickey Rawlins series but it is a standalone story. I have not listened to any of the others but I enjoyed this one enough that I plan to. Mickey is getting up in age for a ballplayer. I would like to know what the future holds for he and his girlfriend Margie so I hope Mr.
