Edgar Award nominee Robert Crais’ L.A. Requiem is a gritty, harrowing look into the minds of a serial killer and the men determined to stop him. Elvis Cole and former cop Joe Pike have been partners in a detective agency for 12 years. After an ex-girlfriend of Pike’s disappears, the girl’s father asks them to help the police with the search. When the missing persons case turns into a hunt for a killer who has been stalking victims in Los Angeles, Cole and Pike find themselves battling both a hostile police department and a madman. Ron McLarty’s masterful narration subtly builds a sense of Cole’s and Pike’s growing desperation to find some link between the victims as the body count continues to grow.

This book swirls together so many detective ideas but even if the pieces are familiar this guy Crais uses them to make that swirl go faaast. This is my first Robert Crais. Yeah, the characters ain’t deep. But that plot… is wickedly twisty and those characters are built to whip around the turns. Really liked this. Elvis may have left the building but I’m looking forward to Ron McClarty bringing him back just as soon as I can buy the next in this series. Totally entertaining.

Crais Does Everything I like

This series entry is a major change from the previous entries. The stakes here are very high and we get to know a great deal more about the backgrounds of both Cole and Pike. Further, unlike in previous volumes, Pike is on screen for much of the book.

The character development for Cole, his girlfriend, and Pike are all excellent -- Important, believable, and harrowing.

Even though this wasn't at all what I was expecting when I started, this is highly recommended.

Brilliant Change of Pace

Would you consider the audio edition of L.A. Requiem to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print edition, so I don't know.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, I was always looking forward to the next time I could listen to the book. The characters were engaging and I cared about what happened to them.

What about Ron McLarty’s performance did you like?

Mr. McLarty did a good job. I could easily distinguish which character was talking. He altered tone, pacing, and timbre to keep the story line going and the listening enjoyable.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I don't know what a tag line is.

Fast-paced, action packed, very enjoyable.

Robert Crais has become the greatest crime story of his generation. His snappy dialogue and exciting plot twists kept
me on the edge of seat, flipping page, anxious to learn what happens next.
I liked his book, “The Last Detective,” even better.
