Publisher's summary

Nick gets Stung in Santa Fe.

While on his year long assignment to photograph every state capitol building for Travel USA magazine, Nick O'Flannigan gest stung by a wasp. But he isn't the only one. A strange death, ruled an accident, happened at a lab researching a vaccine for bee and wasp stings. Nick feels like there is something wrong. It doesn't feel like an accident.

He doesn't want to get involved.

When a small detail in a photo stands out, he just can't shake the feeling that there is a killer on the loose, and he needs to be brought to justice. But will the evidence be enough to convince anyone that he's right? Or will Nick once again find himself in the middle of a mystery he has no business being involved in?

If you love the Lord Peter Wimsey series, you'll love Capital City Murders!

This is a fun series to listen to.

I have enjoyed listening to this series of Nick's travels to the state capitals. Nick has an eye for detail and sees details in pictures that no one else might. Is he able to stay out of a mystery during these travels? You won't be disappointed listening to this book. I received a copy for an honest review.

Accident or Murder?

I enjoy this series a lot. The setting changes as each book is about a different state capital. The way that the murder occurs has been different in each story. So far the only constant has been the protagonist Nick O'Flannigan, but even he is changing as he gets drawn into the different murder scenes. I recommend this series for its short, but well written murder mysteries. Joseph L Stevenson's narration is great. I like his clear and precise delivery. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Baskerville Book Reviews

The perpetrator is obvious, but the roundabout way the mystery is solved is convoluted, much like book 12 in this series. The perp could have easily gotten away with it as well, the fact that he didn’t was mind-numbingly stupid, as it should have been trivially easy to clean up after the fact. But plot contrivances demanded it not be so.

Aside from the mystery being a little meh, the world-building is nice. Shaggy’s parents are always amusing and it shows just how quickly he and Daphne have grown to trust each other, as she was his first thought after getting stung.

The audio in this book is awful. The narrator still can’t tell the difference between O and 0, he constantly mispronounces prescription throughout the story saying “perscription”, which I find to be utterly insufferable. But worse than that are the 3 (possibly more) AWFUL audio hiccups. It sounds as if the recording was badly cut mid-word or something. They’re extremely noticeable and it tells me that this wasn't listened to post-editing, the quality control just isn’t there.

NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

Hooked me in on First Page

He is at it again. Just trying to take photos of the capital and a murder mystery happens. This time he gets stung by a wasp. It jumps right to the murder of the killer wasp, the Labatory that is making these wasps. What will happen?

I received this book for free with an exchange of my honest opinion.
