About this listen
For the past six weeks, LAPD detective Matt Jones has been recovering from the wrong end of a hit man's bullet. Before he can look for payback, Jones finds himself enlisted in the manhunt for an old foe. Dr. George Baylor, the serial killer who escaped after murdering three coeds in LA, resurfaces on the East Coast. This time, an entire family has been slaughtered in their home outside Philadelphia, and the doctor's fingerprints are all over the crime scene.
With panic rising, the FBI seeks Jones's help, and the hunt for this brutal mass killer is on. But so is the hunt for the man who paid to have Jones shot. When a second family is found murdered, the search for the killer becomes frantic, and Jones's shocking personal history explodes before his eyes. With his two missions welded together as one, Jones enters the madman's world - a place of unimaginable terror - and hopes that if he survives, he can find his way out.

On Detective Matt Jones's first night working Homicide in LA, he's called to investigate a particularly violent murder case: a man has been gunned down in a parking lot off Hollywood Boulevard, his bullet-riddled body immediately pegged as the work of a serial robber who has been haunting the Strip for months.

Solidly just OK
Any additional comments?
I will start by saying that this book has a lot of background occurring in a previous book, so you may want to start there. The previous action does not make this book impossible to follow on its own, but neither is this book a "stand alone" story.
From that, I will just say that this is NOT a story that anyone requiring true to life action and choices for characters should read. It is a not a plausible scenario and one must first believe that all cops are basically lazy creatures incapable of independent thought. Also, one must believe that supervisors and prosecutors demand all "team members" to lock in on the one and only AUTHORIZED suspect and crime solution. We also must believe that a crazy loser 21-year-old mama's boy can do things like subdue multiple family members at one time, or kill 4 cops and 2 armed body guards to get at a target. In fact, the lazy cops get killed in their car, despite being warned that the crazy guy is coming to the location they are guarding.
Clearly written by an artist and not someone with much insider knowledge of police, lawyers, or federal law enforcement, much of the action and drama is laughably inaccurate based on what outsiders may perceive. As an example, the author has the killer using a .45 Glock that is fitted with an oil filter as a "silencer". In this story, silencer apparently means SILENT. In real life, properly manufactured SUPPRESSORS reduce the report and muzzle flash, but are ANYTHING BUT silent.
So after all that... it is a story that I didn't feel I wanted to tag out on, and I found it to be an ok listen that at some points did get me wanting to hear what happened next. Just don't read or listen to it expecting to find a serious thriller with life size characters and plausible action.

Horribly macabre. Unnecessary gory details.
Liked some twists in the story but not the unnecessary redundant gory details. I like thrillers. This one not so much.

Awesome story by an awesome narrator..
** spoiler alert ** Spoilers, maybe..
Well, as of 25% I really didn’t think I’d like Matt in this book. His thoughts of murder and how to get away with it just don’t do it for me. But it turned out OK. But, man, every time you turned around he was in trouble. AND, I know, I know, Dr. Baylor was a serial killer but when he was with Matt I really liked him. Whereas, Rogers and Doyle were real jerks and Kate turned out to be even worse. What a piece of work she was. And the info that came out about Matt was just incredible.
And, OMG, what this new serial killer had his victims doing was soooo horrible. And what Andrew and his mother were doing was totally disgusting. And when Andrew hooked up with Avery Cooper…EWW. She was some kind of sick!
This book had an amazing storyline and ending, although it was left open for another book. I just hope we can have a story without Matt smoking or chewing nicotine gum.
There was no sex that was described but there was some really gross sex hinted at.
The F-bomb was used 28 times.
This was a really good murder/suspense, I enjoyed every word of it AND this time the author gave you a few more descriptions of what people looked like.
As to the narrator: Nick Podehl was just as amazing in this book as he was reading City of Echoes. He laughed, yelled, whispered, everything he was supposed to do. I love his narration.
