worth a listen

Nick is never looking for a mystery to be involved in, but he seems to find his way into the mystery. I have enjoyed listening to these books. I listened for an honest review.

Capital City Murders

After having listened to the first book in the series titled, "Overdoses In Olympia", I decided to continue with this compilation of the first five books in the series. The series is about a professional photographer who has been hired to take photographs of the capital buildings in each of the capitals of the individual states. Because this photographer has a "keen eye for details", he is able to help the local police with their investigations. Although each book is rather short, it is amazing the amount of detail and diversity that is portrayed in each story. I recommend this series to those who enjoy well written murder mysteries without sensationalized script; not that every detail described is sterile as these are stories about murder after all. Joseph L Stevenson's narration is pleasant and my appreciation of his style grows with each succeeding story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

A great start to a series

A great collection of books. I loved seeing the character grow. Nick keeps finding himself in the middle of mysteries with out trying.

I received this audiobook from the authors and story origin in exchange for my review.

Books 1-5 of this Series

Though I found these stories interesting, I also found them not all that imaginative. The MC Nick is a Freelance photographer and he has a pension for getting involved in various situations dealing with Murders. If main character was a woman readers would describe her as a Very Nosy busybody, but being a man he is considered helpful. The narrator does not help with a (Not monotone) voice , but lacking much emotional infliction while reading this book.
