Wonderfully engaging story

The Mersey Monastery Murders is #7 in the Mersey Mystery Series by Brian L. Porter. A monk is found murdered at St. Emma’s Priory and it’s all hands on deck for the Special Investigation Team. As they conduct their inquiries, the case takes on international elements. Two more dead bodies really complicate the investigation - are they all related?? There are a lot of twists and turns and historical info that kept me up late to finish the book. This is one 1 of a series, but I was able to pick it up and read it as a stand-alone book. There are subplots and characters that I assumed run through the series. In this book, the reader is given enough info and backstory of the characters that it’s not a problem to read it out of order. Joe Mill’s narration and sound effects were perfect. He did a great job voicing the many characters, accents and foreign language accents unique to each character. I’m definitely going to read more in this series!

Darkly twisted

The last place you would think of evil taking up residence is a monastery, but here you have it. It became more dark and twisted with each chapter , and kept me on edge for what was to come. When I thought it couldn't get more twisted it did!!! Take a listen. You won't be disappointed. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job with voices and sound effects and brought the characters and story to life.
