Bullet Drop

A London Carter Novel (London Carter Mystery Series, Book 4)

By: BJ Bourg

Narrated by: Patrick Nolan

While Dawn Luke travels to her hometown of Arkansas to tend to her sick mother, London Carter is called upon to investigate the murder of a young teenager, whose body is found stuffed under the exit ramp of an overpass. It was apparent to London that the murderer wanted to make sure the kid was dead, but the motive for the killing was far from obvious.

Summoning the assistance of Detective Rachael Bowler, the two are finally able to locate the actual crime scene, and that leads them to the identity of their young victim. But instead of providing answers, the identification leads to more questions. Could a secret involving the young man lead them to the killer, or will it only muddy the waters and interfere with their investigation?

Whatever the case, this is one killer no one should take for granted- - not even a cop as skilled and gritty as London Carter.

I think much of this book...

I think much of this book...

...is setting up the tone for future books. There is a very good mystery in this story. There are plenty of red herrings leading you in completely different directions throughout. However, there is also quite a bit of time spent on London Carter’s kind of girl friend Dawn. She has a family drama taking place in another city. Her mother is dying and the father she grew to detest shows up. It’s because of him and the abuse he rained upon her mother that she is unable to carry on a “normal“ relationship and wipes out any desire to have children. No mystery there but lots of unhealthy family dynamics happening.
Patrick Nolan does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
