Publisher's summary

His hands are bound behind him, a crude butterfly drawn in blood on his bare back. He isn't the first.

When a drug addict finds the body of a man in the basement of an abandoned warehouse in New York City, Detective Damien Drake is called in to lead the murder investigation.

The victim was a philanthropist, father, doting husband, and wealthy junior partner in one of the cities most respected law firms.

He seemed to have the perfect life.

Yet when Damien probes deeper, he realizes that this man isn't the first. His investigation soon connects this murder with another in Montreal, both of which were emblazoned with the same bloody butterfly.

What dark secrets is the NYC lawyer hiding? And what is the significance of the butterfly?

As Damien inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on him - and those close to him.

Damien's last case cost him his partner's life. This case threatens not only his job, but his sanity, as well. And this time, the killer may be even smarter than he is.

One thing is for certain, if he doesn't catch the killer soon, more people will die. The only question is, will the next victim be someone close to Detective Damien Drake?

My first book, it was amazing!!

This was my first book by Patrick Logan and WOW! He hit it out of the park. I couldn’t put it down. I both read and listened to it. Planning on getting the rest of this series and trying some of his other genres too.

predictable

the plot was a little predictable. the twist wasn't enough to make me rush out for the 2nd book. and the narrator had weird inflections and his attrmpt at accents failed in my opinion... at least I could distinguish between characters so I have heard worse!

Good but not the level of Grisham or Patterson

We listened on a road trip. Ok but nothing to recommend. I like Brad Thor and Vince Flynn

Fantastic!

Great book! Michael Pauley is the best narrator, his voice drags you into the story & you can't stop listening!

Butterfly Kisses

The story was great. I have mixed feelings about the narrator. Much of the time his voice was very robotic. Almost sounded system generated which was not appealing. At times it sounded natural which was good.

Intense and scary

This is a fabulous thriller, and one that I'm simply couldn't stop listening. The plot is original and well-thought, and the writing great.

A new favourite author, no doubt about it.

And Michael Pauley's reading is perfect, adding to the intensity of the story and making this a very recommend audiobook.

took a bit to get used to

I struggled at first with a narrator as he is almost overly excited in his voice and his reading... But I got used to him and I really enjoyed the story and characters of this book my only struggle again, was the narrator but he grows on you. I just finished this book and and purchasing the next one in the series very good story!

Thrilling Serial Killer Novel

Butterfly Kisses was a good serial killer novel. I thought the story was laid out nicely with good pacing. The character development was fair - could have used more. Overall it kept my attentions and Michael Pauley's narration really brought the story and characters to life. I look forward to more from this Author & Narrator

Written by: Patrick Logan

I requested this audible book and the review is voluntary. This book is sooo good and I was very entranced in the mystery, the life of the detective, the interactions with the main characters, and the unfolding of the story. Great characters, wonderful plot, good suspense, and loved the narrator! This was a well rounded mystery, suspense, detective, thriller book. Thankful for the free book and and the wonderful read!
