A good story on a road trip

Nick embarks on his third trip for his freelance photography assignment. He is robbed of his camera and stumbles into a new mystery that ends with a surprising twist. A possible budding romance was introduced in this book. I hope it continues. The narration of the book
Is a little off to me. Nick’s voice is fine, but the female voices seem off to me. A little cheesy sounding.

Wonderful book

In book 3 of the series, Nick is once again not looking for a murder but he gets involved in the latest crime. I hope the romance with Sandra goes somewhere in the future books.

Interesting story premise

I just finished the novella Strangled in Sacramento: Capital City Murders Book #3. The premise for the series is intriguing and I look forward to each new book.

The protagonist Nick O'Flannigan is a freelance photographer and an amateur detective. Nick has a contract to take photos of the capitol buildings in each of the 50 US capital cities over a period of 50 weeks for Travel USA magazine. While in Sacramento, CA, he also assists the police in identifying a serial strangler.

Although I enjoyed the story very much, I wish that it had been longer so that the plot could have been more develop.

Book # 3 but a good stand alone book

In this book you have a professional photographer on assignment going across the country to fifty states capitals to take photos for a book. This book is taking place in Sacramento, California. The storyline is well developed and interesting with believable and likeable characters. You haveva strangular roaming the city. You have a camera stolen from tbe photographer. I can't go into more detail without giving away the storyline. This is a short story with twists enough to maintain your interest. The end will surprise the best sleuths. I enjoyed this book

A well-written story from a very good author

Strangled in Sacramento: Capital City Murders Book #3, my sixth read from author Troy Lambert. After reading Silenced in Salt Lake: Capital City Murders Book #11, my first (short) read from author Troy Lambert, I wanted to read more in the series and this one doesn't disappoint. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Short but good

Another great short story that follows a traveling photographer who ends up finding a mystery murder in the town he is supposed to be taking photos. I enjoy that each book talks about the history of the town while bring in a mystery murder.

Another Great Addition to the Series

Another great collaboration between authors and narrator to bring us a quick, fun listen just like the previous two books.

I received a copy of this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Enjoyable listen

I enjoyed listening to "Strangled in Sacramento". This series are short, but you can finish it in a short span of time. I listened for an honest review.

Eye for detail saves the day

Nick arrives in Sacramento and starts to work but his camera is stolen his first night there. He asks his friend Sandra whom he met in Salem for help and the use of her camera while the police investigate. It seems that the theft may be related to a series of murders by the Sacramento Strangler, and of course Nick can't help but be drawn in. This book is fast paced and detailed and the mystery is twisty. The ending was unexpected. I enjoy this geographical mystery series. The stories are short but the cases are interesting. Trouble seems to find Nick at every turn but his eye for detail saves the day. I enjoyed the facts about Sacramento at the end. I look forward to continuing this journey across the US with Nick.

A great listen!

A great listen! Narrator can be a bit monotone at times but an overall good job.
Sound quality from Larson Sound was excellent!
