About this listen

A triple homicide. A blind witness. What is the sound of evil?

Late one night, two young couples walked to a park in an affluent Bainbridge Island neighborhood to celebrate the sale of their tech startup. The next morning, three mutilated bodies were found.

One witness was left alive. Blind from birth, she didn't see anything. But she heard everything. The killer took his time, butchering her friends as she listened to every sadistic moment. What she heard left her broken, traumatized, and barely able to speak.

Private investigator Thomas Austin is the only person who can get her to open up. And when she does, the suspect list is shocking: the murders were committed by one of five people, all of whom the witness was dating.

Stranded on the island after a rare summer storm closes the bridges and ferries, Austin must crack the case before the storm ends and the killer escapes forever. But when another massacre occurs—this one more gruesome than the first—he realizes the killer's motive is not what he imagined.

This killer is more depraved than any he's ever seen.

This is the stuff of nightmares.

The fourth book in this twisty, fast-paced mystery series, The Horror at Murden Cove locks you on a storm-battered island with a killer whose motive is so deranged, you'll have to listen to this audiobook twice to believe it.

Check pronunciations please

To all audible performers: Please, please, please learn the proper pronunciation of place names. Call the library or the mayor’s office or even a grocery store in the town you’re reading about and ask how the city name is pronounced. If you aren’t from the area don’t assume you know the local pronunciation. Every time you mispronounce a place name it’s like tripping over an uneven sidewalk.

Sarges Summary

Good storyline and explains the vulnerabilities of victimization under cults and the arrogance of privilege. Snotty individuals who isolated themselves from societal norms only to grasped for help when their coping mechanism are taken away. The paradign to bridge Austin's challenge of finding peace in isolation while grappling with loss, to Ahab and Moby Dick was a good analogy.

I just finished the last book in the series

To say I enjoyed the series is an understatement. I loved the details of the area. They stories were great and I loved the characters.
Being from Poulsbo I could see every road, smell the trees and laugh at the culture of our beautiful county. I also thought it was a great detail to put Austin’s sentsagia in the story. I’ve heard of it but this just brought out the humanness in all of us. I especially loved the wrap up. We don’t need to chase our whale somewhere “out there “ finding our treasure comes from within.
