Publisher's summary

"He might be a nobody, but he was their nobody and their first case."

The new Kings Lake Central murder squad is about to spend its first morning on team-building exercises and reviewing cold cases when the call comes in that the body of one of the city's rough sleepers has been found in a shop doorway. It happens, someone says, he isn't the first to die on the streets and he won't be the last, but the story the new team begins to uncover is far from routine.

New characters appear and new relationships form as the pressure grows on Detective Chief Inspector Cara Freeman to deliver a result and show that Kings Lake's first specialist team is worth the money. Detective Sergeant Christopher Waters discovers links to a previous investigation, learns that there is more than one way to run a successful squad and finds flower arranging more interesting than he would ever have imagined.

I hope there’s more coming!

I’ve listened to the entire Kings Lake series and been mesmerized by the narrator’s voice, as, with intense deliberation it draws you into the story. I was almost afraid to continue the series with Songbird, the book before this one, thinking it would be so disappointing after the climax of the previous one, but I’m so glad I did. Sometimes I get a little impatient with the amount of time the author spends describing the various members of the new team, but I do enjoy that the characters are all unique and multi-dimensional.

it just keeps getting better

These characters are now so real to me. I was worried the new squad would distract from the original tenor of the Smith series, but there will be a lot to work with here. If you're new to these, start at the beginning with Smith and Waters.

Grainger and Jackson - always welcome

I had forgotten how much I enjoy having this combination of author and performer in my ear. Wonderful.

Done too soon

I really enjoy the Kings Lake stories, but this one ended too soon. Many unfinished story lines. Now I have to get the next book SOON.

Love this series

Great follow-up to the DC Smith series. The new characters are introduced slowly while ones from previous books are rounded out. Love the narrator and the brief appearances of characters from the past.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series beginning with the DC SMITH books. I highly recommend them and hope that the author continues the series for as long as he can.

On Eden Street

I think I need to reread the last chapters because I don’t understand the ending. It seemed like he ended it without telling me what happened. So I was disappointed with the ending. Otherwise I love this man’s writing, and the reader was wonderful as usual.

Loved It!!!

I enjoyed every book in series one. I mourned the loss of DC and his crew. I was thrilled to learn the new series was really the next chapter, including traces of DC now and then. Gildart Jackson is fabulous. He gives each new character a unique voice. Perhaps the negative reviews are a result of the this book setting the scene of a new cast of characters. I enjoyed learning about the new officers, really looking forward to Book 3.
