Chelmin & Spaulding CID Mysteries

De: Mr. Marvin J Wolf

Narrado por: Colin Ricks

Who killed Kendra Farrell and left her bound, dehydrated body on a boxcar loaded with Army boots?

Army CID agents Rudy Chelmin and his rookie partner, Will Spaulding, track the train's route back to Barstow, CA, and the Marine Corps Supply Depot. Before they can begin a joint-services investigation, both men come under attack by a determined and heavily armed international gang.

As they try to unwrap the mystery of Kendra's death they must take out a sniper, escape from an RPG attack that levels a city block, and dodge a car bomb - and that's just the first few days. The key to finding Kendra's killer is to learn why she was killed.

As they unravel a mind-twisting snarl of nefarious, intertwined networks, they must also battle the bureaucracy - the FBI, Homeland Security, and the Barstow police want their share of the case. Then Chelmin vanishes and Spaulding has only three days to learn if his partner will suffer Kendra's agonizing fate.

New sleuthing pair has potential; great voice talent

This author is new to me and I very much enjoyed the military flavor and plot twists in this audiobook. I'm retired Army and he certainly captured the language and culture of the service. One star off for a romance that blossomed with rather unlikely rapidity.
I especially liked the narrator, Colin Ricks. I've not heard his voice before and will certainly look for more reads by him. There were a lot of voices to do in this one, including several with Hispanic accents, and I did not tire of the variety he was able to create. As I grew up near the border, it was refreshing to hear the Spanish pronounced correctly.
