The Bradgate Park Murders

Carlos Jacobi, Book 2

By: Dawn Brookes

Narrated by: Tim Bruce

Three dead bodies. A mountain of lies. Will the hunt for a killer turn fatal?

Private Investigator Carlos Jacobi wants to spend time in London with his girlfriend, and his favorite pooch. But, after recovering stolen puppies to smash a dog-theft ring, he’s still upset that the mastermind escaped, when he gets a call about strange fatalities in Leicester. And with the victims’ wives asking for help, he allows himself to be roped into investigating a possible triple murder.

Buried in half-clues and conflicting evidence, Carlos struggles to provide a link to reveal the obscure motive behind the deaths. And as he tracks the elusive perpetrator, the haunted investigator finds himself on the wrong end of a brutal beating, meant to throw him off the trail.

Can the clever sleuth untangle a web of corruption, before he’s ensnared in a deadly trap?

The Bradgate Park Murders is the twisty second book in the Carlos Jacobi private eye series. If you like determined detectives, jaw-dropping surprises, and detailed investigative work, you’ll love Dawn Brookes’s latest book.

Another case solved 👌🏽

This time 3 old school chums met their maker under suspicious circumstances. Their widows team up and hire Carlos to look in their murders because as we all know the police don't always get it right on the first go round. An old murder of young Ben gets connected to the 3 old school chums, and a young man gets framed by the real mastermind behind their murders.

Carlos and Fiona worked together smoothly and also separately to figure out who that mastermind was. I really enjoyed the pairing of P.I. sleuthing Carlos and police detective Sargent Fiona. And, a special shout out goes to Lady, the four-legged P.I.
companion of Carlos.

The narration was superbly done. Bravo, Tim! 👏🏽

Final thought:

What a great listen!

Carlos Jacobi and his canine pal Lady are on the trail of a sinister nemesis when their paths cross again with his police detective friend Fiona!
This story has lots of twisting plot turns that keep the reader glued to the pages ( or in my case the headphones! ) written as a sequel, it's great as a standalone. The narrator is top-notch and adds to the positive experience. While written as a spin-off from the Rachel Prince Series, this is definitely a strong series all on its own and I'm genuinely looking forward to the next book.
