The Sawtooth Slayer

Venator Cold Case Series, Book 2

De: Nathan Dylan Goodwin

Narrado por: Bryn Austin

April 2020, Twin Falls, Idaho. A serial killer is on the loose. A nameless man is kidnapping young women from their own homes, taking them out of the city to kill them before returning their bodies to random locations around the city. Detective Maria Gonzalez heads up the investigation but has very few leads to pursue. As time passes and fears rise that the killer might strike again with a fifth victim, Maria turns to Venator—an investigative genetic genealogy company—in the hope that they can identify the killer from his DNA alone before he has the chance to take yet another life. Despite her initial reticence to take on the company’s first ever live case, Madison Scott-Barnhart and her team in Salt Lake City agree to try to reveal the identity of this barbaric serial killer. In the midst of the global pandemic that has closed the Venator office and posed both personal and professional problems for Madison, time is running out on this case.

This is the second novel in the Venator Cold Case series. Although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story, for the best experience, begin your journey with The Chester Creek Murders.

Amazing

Once again Nathan Dylan Goodwin has written another well researched and enjoyable story. Can’t wait for the next one.

Very compelling story

Another great story. I love listening to the methodology used in solving the crimes. Using SLC landmarks lends to the believability. Using the term ‘rock sac’ instead of ‘back pack’ or ‘book bag’ is a nod to the author being British.

10/10

10/10 I can’t wait for another Venator case. Nathan really does the research needed to write a fiction about FGG.

Another great story!

Nathan Dylan Goodwin does not disappoint! This second story in this series involves glimpses at living in the early days of the pandemic.

Perfect for the Genealogy Addict

Mystery, genealogy and learning all at once. Several story lines going on at the same time. I listened to this book because I enjoyed the first one so much. Learning how to incorporate DNA research into my genealogy has not been easy, but this gives some good guidance while enjoying a story.

Even Better than the First!

While I enjoyed the Chester Creek novel, I found this one to be even better!

Great genealogical thriller!

Like all of Goodwin’s books, this is a page turner or in this case, hard to stop the audio. Can’t wait for the next one too ok come out!

Great listen

Wonderful listen! If you are a genealogical mystery lover, this is the book for you!

Another Awesome Story!

I was so sad when the story ended. I love all of Nathan’s books. I enjoy them so much that it’s sad when they end. Thank you for such a good book!

Awkward narration at first- worth waiting it out

Summary: great book, interesting, fast paced plot. Engaging. I have read everything this author has written, including another by this narrator - I've enjoyed them all. The beginning of this performance was distracting for me. Glad that I decided to give it a handful of chapters to see if the performance settled for me. It did snd I'm grateful.
