About this listen
You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cry, You Better Not Pout, I'm Telling You Why... Santa Claus Is Coming... To KILL!
It all begins in Manhattan.
When Manhattan South Homicide Detectives Murphy and Rico fall upon a string of Santa Claus murders, it doesn't take long for the FBI Serial Killer Task Force to figure out they're hunting the same diabolical madman.
In a rush against time… they must break out their Naughty List and hunt down a psycho intent on ruining Christmas.
LOCK the doors, shut the blinds... and get ready to run for your life. Santa's at your door and he isn't bearing gifts.

The year is 2061. The Red Dragon Crime Syndicate is king, and for all those lucky enough to be members of this crime family, life is damn good. Well, not for everyone.... For two entry-level gangsters in Tharsis City, Mars, life in the Syndicate isn’t quite all guns and glamour. That’s right. Long before they were mortal enemies, Spike Spiegel and Vicious were just two friends clawing their way up the crime ladder and trying to have a little fun while doing it. But when an opportunity to pull a job for their boss arises, it’s make-or-break time.

Story
Imagine a killer who thinks, "What is the worst thing anyone has ever done?"—and then goes far beyond it. Now imagine four women—a police detective, an assistant DA, a reporter, and a medical examiner—who join forces as they sidestep their bosses to track down criminals. Known as the Women's Murder Club, they are pursuing a murderer whose twisted imagination has stunned an entire city. Their chief suspect is a socially prominent writer, but the men in charge won't touch him. On the trail of the most terrifying and unexpected killer ever, they discover a shocking surprise.

Detective Jenna Murphy comes to the Hamptons to solve a murder - but what she finds is more deadly than she could ever imagine. No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous, multi-million-dollar beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privilege know no bounds. But its beautiful gothic exterior hides a horrific past: It was the scene of a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Neglected, empty, and rumored to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance.

Along the ever-changing border of gentrifying Los Angeles, 17-year-old Monique Darson is found dead at a condominium construction site, hanging in the closet of an unfinished unit. Homicide Detective Elouise "Lou" Norton's new partner, Colin Taggert, fresh from the comparatively bucolic Colorado Springs police department, assumes it's a teenage suicide. Lou isn't buying the easy explanation. For one thing, the condo site is owned by Napoleon Crase, a self-made millionaire...and the man who may have murdered Lou's missing sister, Tori, 30 years ago.

Couldn't listen to this book
What didn’t you like about Doc Savage’s performance?
The narration ruined the book for me. It seemed that it was a comic book or sports broadcast, not a novel. I stopped after 20 minutes. Listen to the sample before purchase.

Exhilarating listen
Would you consider the audio edition of The Santa Claus Killer to be better than the print version?
No, of course not, yet one could purchase this audible without reading the book first.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Santa Claus Killer?
The discovery of the hidden subway corridors.
Have you listened to any of Doc Savage’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to many audio books. This is the first for Doc Savage and will not be the last.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending.
Any additional comments?
In reality, I read the book first and loved it. I jumped at the chance to grab this audible. There is nothing more enjoyable, or in this case, horrific, than to close the eyes and allow the sense of hearing to paint the blank canvas of your imagination.
Doc Savage does not simply recite the book; he achieves characters emotion and identity by articulating applicable intonation within the dialogue while delivering a superb narrative for this wonderfully creative and exciting tale. Without use of background music or sound effects, he delivers an exciting story. I can't decide which of his voice manipulations amazes me the most: helicopter rotors, police sirens, or feline dialogue, or maybe, the maniacal laughter or singing of our killer.
Mr. Savage delivers an excellent rendition of R. J. Smith's The Santa Clause Killer and I am excited to add this audible as a companion to the book sitting on my bookshelf.

Slay ride!
Where does The Santa Claus Killer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Among the best stories to which I've listened.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Stefan and Mirabelle.
Stefan, while being a tough street kid also shows vulnerability, sensativity and desire to be wanted and loved.
Mirabelle for her unyielding caring and desire to take Stefan away from the streets and bring him permanently into the lives of Terry and her.
Have you listened to any of Doc Savage’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Doc Savage rocks. He captures the essense of each character and brings it alive.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes. The very ending when Mirabelle killed Richard and told Stefan how much she cared for him.
