Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's summary

Baltimore is a nice town, if you don't mind the serial killers - the original, and the copycat - a mimic clever enough to conceal himself with the evidence of the first. The only give-away? His victims...so young, so pretty. Not like the others.

Detective Truax sees this, but his young captain disagrees and views him with extreme prejudice. He brings in the FBI, Agent Frances Vecchio, who launches her own investigation into the Cyanide Killer. Her treachery undermines Truax's every move putting his job, and lives, at risk, and in order to apprehend a pair of repetitive killers, Truax must discredit the primary witness against him - the evidence itself.

No Autopsy For Me

I totally enjoyed listening to this book. Loved the character development which include Detective-Sergeant Moby Truax, FBI Special Agent Frances Vecchio, Captain Atkins, Harvey Morral (ME), Detective Nichols and Johnson (ME) (Truax was my favorite).It has normally good protocols but ending shows evidence should never lies but sometimes it does (cyanide verses rat poison). I loved the surprise thriller ending. Recommend if you enjoy a suspenseful mystery/crime thriller. Look forward to more like this book.

Interesting premise

The premise of this story is unusual enough to draw me in and hold my interest. The writing is not as polished as it might be. This is exacerbated by the many mispronunciations made by the narrator, Nathan Glondys. On the other hand, Glondys excells at giving distinctive voices to the characters, although his accents don't seem particularly authentic. Also, his shaping of the text is a little choppy.

Dark and disturbing in the best possible way
The characters are great and the killer and his motives are cringe worthy
Well narrated highly recommended to any mystery/thriller fan

Gritting, compelling, but disturbing thriller

This debut novel from author D. B. Corey is gritty, compelling, and rather disturbing.

Detective “Moby” Truax is two years from retirement, doing his job and trying to stay away from his young gung ho new supervisor. He lands the lead on Baltimore’s newest high profile case, a cyanide serial killer. While Truax is convinced there are, in fact, two killers, his boss is adamant that he pursue only one. Making his distain and lack of confidence in Truax’s skills clear, his supervisor assigns a young, rookie FBI agent to partner with Truax. As the clues to the killer, or is it killers?, identity unfold, Truax contends with an overbearing boss, tampered evidence and outright deception and obstruction from those he should be able to count on. Add to that the inner thoughts of the killer and this book makes for a fascinating and disturbing listen. There are plenty of twists and turn in the case. The characters were well developed and I found myself being angry at some and really liking others, as intended. The killer was compelling and so disturbed you will think, “OMG”.

Nathan Glondys did an adequate narration of this book. He was generally easy to listen to, although his prosody of speech was choppy….he tended to speak in 5-6 word phrases, which I found distracting. His voice was otherwise pleasant, and he gave each character appropriate voices and accents which was very helpful in keeping them all straight.

If you like gritty police procedural thrillers in the vein of Vincent Zhandri, this book does not disappoint. I would like to see future stories with Truax.

A gem in the crime /mystery that had me hooked

*This book was given to me by the author at my request, and I provided this voluntary review.*

4.5 / 5

I wanted to take a break from LitRPG/Fantasy, so I decided to read this book - and I'm glad I found this. This book is a standalone gem in the crime /mystery that had me hooked right from the beginning. The two viewpoints of the main character and the other main supporting character provided a dual perspective on the same story.. which was well executed. While most of the men in this story are pigs (pun intended), the main characters are rounded enough to make them interesting and even likeable. There is a twist, and I was pleased to see I was able to guess it about 3/4ths way through the book. Even still, I didnt find the twist to be too obvious and it fit in organically. I was sad to see the end of the story, but I also felt it wasnt truly tied up - was maybe expecting a second novel with Truax. Either way, I would recommend this to others.
