Salvation Lake

A Leo Waterman Mystery

By: G. M. Ford

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

At the end of an especially raucous day at his neighborhood bar, private eye Leo Waterman is surprised to see his old flame, Rebecca Duval, walk in the door. But King County's medical examiner is here on business, not pleasure. Two dead bodies, covered by an old coat that once belonged to Leo's father, have turned up in the trunk of a car. The only thing that seems to connect the men is a controversial local church and its charismatic pastor.

With help from Rebecca and surveillance expert Carl Cradduck, Leo begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together. While a pair of goons do their best to chase him off the case, Leo painstakingly retraces the victims' final days, charting their unusual search for redemption - from a downtown homeless encampment to suburban McMansions to the shores of Salvation Lake. There Leo must confront an opponent hell-bent on retribution in order to get to the twisted truth about the killings.

Love Leo Waterman

I wish there were more of these books. I just love Leo and his friends.

Not his best work

The level of dumb and bad luck in this story is very hard to swallow. Bad in your sights? Shoot him. Seems simple enough. Not for Leo. Make excuses and then leave everything up to fate.

An enjoyable book when you are in the mood for

An enjoyable book when you are in the mood for another Leo Waterman episode. Leo is set up for murder by a neighbour while investigating the deaths of two cadavers found covered with his father's distinctive overcoat. Meanwhile, in the back story, his wheelchair bound IT pal is almost beaten to death and his former ex girlfriend and local Medical Examiner weakens and takes him back. So far I have found author G.M. Ford and this character Leo Waterman maintaining a certain level of entertainment and I'm sure I will listen to the next in the series at some point in the future. This one just makes it into the top tier of my library.
