Summary

Cold case detective Lauren Riley wakes up in the hospital certain of two things: she was stabbed and left for dead...and the person who did it was a cop.

After being brutally stabbed at her desk late one night, Lauren Riley works her way backwards through the haze to piece together who attacked her and why. A mysterious phone message forces her to enlist the help of a retired lieutenant to track down a witness who is desperate not to be found. As she digs into the Buffalo Police Department’s hidden past she uncovers a terrible secret, one a fellow officer would kill to protect.

Packed with suspense and featuring a detective who “relentlessly - and with morbid humor - gets the job done” (Booklist), The Murder Book continues a series praised by Kirkus Reviews as “an excellent police procedural combined with a psychological thriller.”

Easy listen

I’m writing the same for all four books as I read them one after the other but didn’t review immediately which is my usual practice. And I can’t actually recall them in detail!

They were just easy listens. Not taxing. Slightly unbelievable but I read all four so that says something. The narrator is a favourite of mine which is what drew me to the author.

Better than expected

This was on the audible included catalogue which can sometimes be dodgy to say the least. The characters were likeable, the story kept my interest throughout. Have had the second in the series (also audible included) and have just used a credit for the third.

Good storyline

It took me a while to get into the story, as the narrative is like listening to an automated answerphone message. The storyline itself is really good. It's just a shame you cannot feel the emotion the author wished to portray.

Ruined by monotonous narration

Brilliant storyline, but was this narrated by a computer?
Stuck with it as I didn't know about refunds.

Don’t let the narration put you off

Really a Great story, it gets you gripped and good characters once you get used to the narrators monotone voice.
