Story4 out of 5 stars 135
Long Beach homicide detective Danny Beckett can’t escape the pain. It’s everywhere: in the injuries that earned him a year-long medical leave; in the suffering of every victim he’s ever encountered; in the agony of his past. But he must keep the pain at bay to prove he still has what it takes to do the job. So it’s only fitting that his first major case back is a gruesome one: A California congressman’s daughter-in-law and grandchildren have been brutally murdered, and the carnage is some of the worst Danny’s ever seen. Is it a mob hit? Political retribution? A random sex crime? Nothing quite adds up….

Story4 out of 5 stars 42
For 16 years, Ben Shepard loyally served the Long Beach Police Department. Then he took a bullet to the head, and his life was shattered. No one expects much of anything from him anymore - except his father, an old man receding into a fog of his own. And except maybe his tenant, Grace, who's been a warm and friendly constant in his and his father's bleak lives. Until the day she vanishes. After an official investigation stalls, Ben moves forward on his own. But stepping into Grace's past - and all she was hiding - is a dangerous move for a man who can't trust his memories from one day to the next.

Publisher's Summary
On a sweltering September night, Long Beach Homicide Detective Danny Beckett is called to a grisly crime scene at the mouth of the Los Angeles River. A defenseless homeless man has been burned to death by three teenagers with gang ties. The suspects are already in custody, and the evidence is overwhelming - but when one suspect’s brother is targeted for murder, Danny starts to think there may be more to this seemingly clear-cut case. Obsessed with discovering the true identity of the victim, a gentle vagrant who may have been hiding a tortured past, Danny and his team start to uncover a high-reaching conspiracy that puts them all at risk - and threatens to open new wounds that could cut even deeper than Danny’s old ones.

A Dull and Boring Hallelujah
I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't. The performance was stilted and the story just couldn't hold my interest. I kept going hoping it would get better. It didn't. The descriptions of Long Beach were pretty good. To be honest, I was about halfway through the book when I realized I didn't even know the name of the main character. The sad thing was, I didn't care.

I enjoyed the story overall. I really enjoyed the narration, he did a very good job with the voices for each of the characters and reading the story dramatically...
the racey language would be the only thing that might deter me from listening to it again:-(

Great Story
This book had it all - comedy, mystery, family relationships, friendship and even a touch of romance.
The style is rather matter-of-fact and reminiscent of Detective Joe Friday from Dragnet, but once in, you appreciate it for what it is - a cop story. It was eye opening as to process and procedure and believable. Told through the eyes of the detective the hardness, kindness and emotion/emotionless aspects of the job came through seamlessly. It also brought to light some of the things I often forget about - old injuries that continue to plague long-time officers as well as the cases that never leave their mind. Not surprisingly it also gives window into the camaraderie of members of the force and those they work with outside the force (social workers, coroners, and family members of both victims and persons of interest).
I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
The narration was a perfect fit for this book.

Mystery/Police Procedural Thriller
This Narrator had a laid back vibe that I wasn’t sure I could hang with but I’m so glad I did. The Characters were interesting and flawed but likeable and easy to relate to. The mystery and police procedure unfolds over the course of the book and I found myself dreading that it would be over. Would love a sequel with these characters and I think this Narrator fit the main Characters personality perfectly.

Really liked this
I like the story line, the character development . I have listened to the other two books in this series and really enjoyed them as well. Since this book was published in 2014, I hope the next book in the series is coming out soon.
