Somebody Killed His Editor: Holmes & Moriarity, Book 1

I love comic mysteries. This narrator was really able to bring out the comic elements and still make the characters real.

I really enjoy series. I liked the fact that this was the start of a comic mystery series.

The beginning of the book when the MC when fighting for his life on the bridge. It was funny and scary at the same time.

How Kit and JX restarted

I always like anything Josh Lanyon does, but this narrator really brought out the best in this book and made me laugh throughout the whole thing which I did not do when I read it. I smiled a lot but did not laugh out loud like I did with this narrator.

Enjoyed the narration by Kevin R Free, he captured Kit wonderfully. I have previously read this Josh Lanyon book and found the audio version delightful.

I have a confession to make — I've fell blindly and unconditionally in love with the main character of this book. Kit Holmes is struggling with mid-life crisis big time: his long-term relationship has just ended, his career is going downhill, he is concerned about his health, he feels old and he complains a lot about all and everything. What is there not to like about this man?! I enjoy the way he sees the world and himself through the sarcastic lenses and I absolutely love the unbeatable, witty logic of his!

Not many audio books have made me laugh out loud, but this one did — several times. Besides the excellent writing the best thing about this book is no doubt the fact that the author's joy of writing Somebody Killed His Editor comes across so loud and clear.

I also enjoyed the old-fashioned, Agatha Christie kind of mystery setting in this story. It all worked out extremely well — I never figured the mystery out by myself.

The narrator adds a nice touch to the story and at the same time makes some of the scenes even more hilarious. With a great narrator like Kevin R. Free this is definitely a book I can recommend wholeheartedly.

I don't know about better, but it enhanced it greatly. I always knew that "Somebody Killed His Editor" was one of the snarkiest books ever written, but through the vocal talents of Mr. Free, I really appreciated how snarky Holmes really is. Very, very good.

Just about every conversation glows in my mind, and Kevin R Free is a master of the different voices. I didn't need any textual prompts to figure out who was talking, and it was like listening to a really great one-man radio play.

If forced to pick one moment, it would be discovering the body on the terrace, or when Holmes and Moriarity are eating in the bar late in the book. There's just something about those two moments that leap out of the audiobook and seem like I was listening to a recording of real events. Very cool.

The snark, the real emotional sense of the action taking place, are enhanced and extended.

Holmes. He's just so sarcastic!

I had recently re-read this book when I bought the audio book. I like it even more as an audiobook. Kevin R. Free's narration of Kit Holmes is just perfect. J.X.'s voice is also dead sexy.

It's a perfect case of a favorite book being converted into now a favorite narrated audiobook.

I have read this book several times. Every time I read it, I enjoy it more. It is in turns laugh out loud funny, hold your breath suspenseful, and always entertaining. I really enjoyed the mystery.

At first I didn't care for the narrator because he didn't match the voices in my head. However, by the end of the first chapter, I couldn't imagine Kit sounding like anything but the way Free portrayed him. He did a wonderful job with the other charatcters, also. He really brought the story to life and made an excellent book into a fantastic experience.

It's more about what I didn't like about the story...neither of the main characters. And when I don't fall in love with the MCs, I just end up not particularly liking the entire story.

First time Chris and JX made love in Chris' room. Explosive.

I've never heard him before. I'd rate him above average, but not spectacular like Shannon Gunn.

No, it was difficult to finish.

I LOVE Josh Lanyon, but I am not fond of this series. Fatal Shadows (Adrien English Mysteries) is far better in my opinion, as is Fair Game and The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks.

I'd rate this book/story at 3-1/2 stars overall.

Probably not.

This was a decent mystery story but there is absolutely no relation to Sherlock Holmes except the character names. I mistakenly expected more of a connection. I was also very surprised by some explicit homesexual sex descriptions. There should have been a warning in the product information.
