Publisher's summary

Harry Doyle, known to his peers as the Dead Detective, finds himself faced with what many consider the most powerful and secretive cult in the country - Scientology. Clearwater, Florida, the spiritual center of Scientology, is run by a fanatical group of true believers who insist that members remain pure and true to their faith. One senior leader has a young man in his employ, a twisted soul who will stop at nothing to make sure the rules are followed. But Harry Doyle, his partner Vicky Stanopolis, and Clearwater Sergeant Max Abrams are in hot pursuit, forcing the killer to run for cover. In a shocking denouement where everyone's life hangs in the balance, Harry and Vicky come face-to-face with death in a form they never expected.

A little better than OK

What did you like best about The Scientology Murders? What did you like least?

It was a good topic, however, the ending was a little over the top.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

One really has to suspend belief.

What about John McLain’s performance did you like?

A good reader does not get in the way of the book. When they do well, you enjoy the experience. I thought he was a perfect fit. He switched from male to female voices without distraction.

Could you see The Scientology Murders being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Any additional comments?

I read the Dead Detective first, it was ok, good enough to continue, so I read this installment. I will read the next one if the series continues, but won't wait breathlessly for it.

A terrible book!!

What an abrupt ending and it left unanswered questions. WTH happened with Harry's murdering mother? It just left with Harry being made a fool of by his mother's attorney and the attorney calling Internal Affairs insisting that they investigate Harry? This was a really lousy book! I can't even imaging what the author was thinking writing this then not writing another book to answer the open questions.

Fade to black sex and the F-bomb was used 40 times.

As for the narration: John McLain is one of the worse narrators I've had the misfortune to listen to. He needs to read books that have now women at all in them, because every woman sounded like a man. AND he read without emotions whatsoever.
