Dead by Sunrise

A Gripping Mystery for Fans of Suspenseful Crime Fiction

De: Richard Ryker

Narrado por: Tom Taverna

A young woman is savagely murdered on a popular beach near Forks, WA.

Former homicide detective Brandon Mattson takes command of his hometown police force just one year after his brother was killed in the line of duty. Still haunted by his brother’s unsolved murder, he struggles to rein in the fledgling department while learning the ropes as a newly divorced single parent.

Brandon’s respite from homicide is short-lived when a missing woman’s body washes ashore on the nearby Quileute Reservation. Savage fang marks and a series of ominous vampire-related graffiti point to a member of a secret blood-sucking cult. But Brandon's not so sure wannabe vampires are to blame, and it soon becomes evident that more than one person had reason to murder the young woman.

Balancing the investigation, small-town politics, and parenting his 15-year-old daughter, Brandon is running out of time to solve the case before the bloodthirsty killer claims another victim.

Fans of suspenseful mysteries with a twist will find a new favorite in homicide detective turned chief of police Brandon Mattson.

Pretty good book

This book had me a little concerned that it was going to be like twilight but it was so much better, The brother of the local home town cop takes over as police chief and his first case is anything but expected. There are crazy towns people, vampires, and family squabbles. Brandon does a great job investigating the murders and there are unexpected twist and turn along the way. The narrator did a great job making each character their own and the story was unique enough to keep me coming back to but not coming across and cheap. I received this book for free for an honest review.

A must read thriller

Dead by Sunrise.
Is a fresh entertaining thriller. Not a vampire fantasy but a really gripping police thriller.
I really want to read the next in the series.
Narration is excellent.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this honest review. .

Great book

Had me guessing until the end. I like mysteries that keep you guessing. I can’t wait to read another book about the chief of Folks.

Great mystery!

Locals discover the body of a young woman on the beach of a small town. After investigating, Chief of Police Brandon Mattson suspects foul play. As he digs into the mystery, clues point to strange vampire-related groups in the area. In Dead by Sunrise, Chief Mattson must balance the murder investigation, his personal life and a Mayor determined to make his life difficult--all before the killer strikes again.

Dead by Sunrise is well-written and moved quickly. I especially enjoyed the more humorous secondary charade like Mattson's Secretary and Vasile, the vampire cult leader.

If you're a sucker for mysteries/detective stories, I highly recommend you listen to/read Dead by Sunrise.

I'm excited for the next Chief Mattson mystery!

Tom Taverna's performance was great. He really brought the characters to life.

Engagaging book, really good narrator

It really kept my interest, and not just because of the story, which was good, but because the narrator was really good. Lots of voice changes, and believable story-telling.
