Interesting

It was well read but too slow paced for me. Loved the narration though. It just kept me wanting to rush through it though.

Great detective novel

It quite a while since I last listened to a Luca mystery. And picking this up was like a reunion with an old friend.
Good solid detective mystery. The type of book where you just want to keep reading /listening.
And great narration by Peter Lerman.

So, so

While the story line was interesting for a murder mystery, the entirety of the book was very simplistic.

The sing-song narrator totally ruined it for me. The characters lacked depth and a identification. A stronger narrator would have helped a lot!

A great mystery!

I liked the way in which this book is structured. Having the points of view of both, one of the suspects and the police investigating the case is truly original. Particularly when having the suspect's POV is not a way to truly cleaning him up from the crime as he is, at the very least, a very unreliable narrator. That makes it not only original but also truly engaging.

I enjoyed the rapport between Luca and Vargas, and I hope they will continue to work together.

The mystery is very well done and keeps you guessing until the end.

Peter Lerman does a good job narrating this story.

Great Mystery

"The Serenity Murder (A Luca Mystery #3)" by Dan Petrosini. I enjoyed this book. Some sex, greed and murder. The main character Luca kept me in suspense. A detective story which keeps moving in a fast pace. The characters of Marilyn, John and Gideon come together to make this story believable. Don't ask for what you want to happen to someone because it can become a reality.

Well done murder mystery

This is the first of the Luca mysteries I have read. It can be read as a stand alone but I would like to have the background on Detective Luca I would gain from reading books 1 and 2. Wealthy philanthropist Marilyn Boggs wants to divorce her husband but the way her father wrote his will she loses 25% if she divorces. Her husband wants rid of her but he wants to keep their private island off the coast of Naples, FL. He begins to research ways to kill her and get by with it. Then Marilyn is found dead in their mansion on the island. Did he do more than just research it? Detective Luca thinks he did but then more suspects surface. Trust Detective Luca to get his man. I listened to the Audible version of this book given to me by StoryOrigin. I enjoyed it but I want to read the first 2 books to understand more of what is going on with Luca. The audio was well done and the narrator did a good job.
