On the hunt for a killer, he uncovers a web of motives among business rivals, a bitter ex-wife, a duplicitous groundskeeper, and perhaps even the dead man’s sons.

A detective on the edge. A hit-and-run. A dangerous truth. DI Joe Hogarth's private troubles have exploded out of control. When reformed villain Benny Spencer becomes the victim of a hit-and-run, a new case opens—one that threatens to be the end of DI Hogarth in more ways than one. ★★★★★ “Fast paced - difficult to put down!” As Hogarth grapples with his secret crisis, he's forced to investigate the hit-and-run. Stretched to his limits, Hogarth's bad choices and mistakes could cost him his job—or his life. ★★★★★ “Gripping… He writes so vividly that it's almost...

With a thriving parahuman accounting practice, a steady relationship, and a circle of trusted friends, Fred's undead life has become more enjoyable than his normal one ever was. Unfortunately it also seems that he's no longer the only vampire to appreciate the up-and-coming city of Winslow, Colorado. A new clan of vampires is moving in, and they aren't well known for tolerating outsiders in their territory.

Like a quick beach read but no beach just a vampire trying to make his accounting business work...
Reviewed: 10-18-24
I don't often leave reviews but I think this one should be. The pace is great and the different characters are well done by the narrator. Here is a spoil free simple explication:
A man who is your typical number cruncher accountant suddenly finds himself turned as a vampire. That alone is enough to deal with but he is excited to find all non-humans ( parahumans) need their taxes and books done just like the rest of us.
The best parts are that instead of one long story there are several small stories in one book( seems to be an avg of 4). This is great after just finishing a 32 hour long saga book. I can cleanse my palete with one story then dive into another long book.
The second great part is that almost each story is self contained and can "stand alone" but each story might be referred to a tiny bit in a later story.
There are "curse words" if that bothers you but overall the lack of sheer gore, over the top romance, or anything a child should possibly avoid are not in this series. So I recommend for all ages just a curse word or so isn't bad.
I am now in book 5 and if I jump back in I am instantly there no need to try and remember who is who and what is going on. This is a great series that grows on you.

Jo told him the phone call had been about a woman who wanted to have her husband declared dead. Smith thought for a moment and then said, 'Hmm. There must be a few million women in this country who feel like that. I take it her husband's been missing for a while and she's decided it's time to move on. In the absence of a body, which is always a nuisance, she wants Diver and Diver to confirm there's no proof he's alive. And I've told Jason a dozen times I'm not getting involved in anything matrimonial. I have enough trouble sorting out my own relationships.'

read the series for a break
Reviewed: 07-25-24
If you like mystery and crime but need it a bit toned down( not overly loud or violent) this book series was a good break to cleanse my pallette after an epic Sci-fi series and needing something almost relaxing as the real world news and events were enough of a roller coaster. Think someone like the amazing butler to batman telling you his procedures and steps to a case/ investigation that is eventful and more complex than Murder She Wrote. By book 2 I found myself wondering "I wonder how DC Smith's day is going?" and jumping out of a true crime series to slow a bit and catch up with DC. Man I hope this review makes sense 😊.

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night - different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful - Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos of the parahuman world.

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It's his hallucinations who are mad. A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people - Stephen calls them aspects - to hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve problems...for a price. Then a company hires him to recover stolen property - a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past....

Hello this is an amazing collection. I won't write about the book as a review but rather let readers know this contains book 1 and 2 and one additional story. I owned the first 2 so felt silly when i didn't read the description and just clicked it because it said book 3. Sooo i was hoping for a huge new story. For those fans of amazing books that let you escape awhile i highly this publushers pack.

Reviewed: 08-16-17
Been trapped on a roadtrip with a relative going to store after store looking for that particular brand of toothpaste they can't find anywhere? Back and forth looking sort of wondering if you can jump out of the car? 5 hrs in and though not toothpaste I did want to jump. why did I continue listening? Well it actually became some sort of self inflicted torture...waiting for something besides boat.search.boat.search...
I would give it one star but I reserve that for the rare books that literally you return to audible the next day.
Maybe it was to simplistic. Maybe after hour 7 the whole thing changes. I'm not going to see.
