Publisher's summary

A sadistic serial killer brings Quint along for the ride....

After almost losing his life at sea, Quint Adler has been enjoying the downtime with his beautiful girlfriend, Cara. But the carefree days come to a crashing halt.

Bay Area police receive a letter. A man claims he’s about to start a killing spree that will go down in history. And he mentions Quint by name, drawing him into the case.

The killings begin and comparisons to The Zodiac abound, but it’s clear The Bay Area Butcher will surpass him in both victims and notoriety.

He continues sending letters, mocking the police, needling Quint, even giving the date that each set of murders will be carried out. It becomes an international story with The Butcher’s fascination with Quint at the forefront.

The Bay Area Butcher brings Quint face to face with the worst serial killer the country has seen in decades. Possibly ever.

Good story!💜

I was thoroughly entertained with this one however, the deranged mind of the Bay Area Butcher was a bit over the top IMO. I did still enjoy this book. It’s engaging and riveting and very locally based near my hometown. It’s always fun reading about things you are familiar with. I love Quint but no matter how hard he tries to stay out of trouble, it always finds him.
There was horror, tragedy and despair but also excitement.
Liam DiCosimo performs these characters very well, and he’s especially creepy performing the “Butcher”. Well done. 👏👏
This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone.

Well performed, strong & engaging story

This is Book Two for Quint Adler, the every man’s journalist for a small town paper turning into a strong PI. I like how he evolves in this new story. Cara is a strong female character- thank you for that! Engaging story, well read.

Super Thriller!!!!

Bay Area Butcher is the second book in the Quint Adler series. I would suggest listening to the two books in order for background. Both this book and the previous (Revenge at Sea) are excellent.
This is a fast paced, edge of your seat mystery/thriller. Once I started listening I had to finish it. No breaks ! I had to find out how this story was going to end.
Adler is a journalist who can’t seem to keep himself out of his articles. But in this book the antagonist requests his participation in the hunt. The police aren’t crazy about this but want to keep communication with a serial killer open. The ending is rather twisted.
Liam DiCosimo does a great job narrating.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Something’s Not Right

I don’t know if it’s the reader or writing or both but it feels like the content is adult but the way it’s read misses the mark for me - it sounds like he’s reading to a child. The narrator shouldn’t attempt female voices- they are truly awful. I can’t go any further in this series the 41 year old protagonist is more like a 21 year old. Sorry can’t do anymore of these books.
