Unfinished Business: Pursuit of an Antarctic Killer is Book II of The Antarctic Murders Trilogy. It continues the story of Captain Roberto Muoz of the Lientur and the hunt for the millions of dollars in US and British cash, negotiable securities, gold coins, and jewelry that were stolen from the Banco Central de Chile following the Chilean Earthquake of May, 1960. The story of the theft and murders that followed is told in Book I: Frozen in Time: Murder at the Bottom of the World. Unfinished Business introduces Captain Mateo Valderas and Lieutenant-Commander Antonio Del Ro of the Chilean Navys Office of Internal Affairs.

Their investigations uncover evidence that leads them to someone who is determined to settle old scores and wrap up unfinished business on two continents - South America and Antarctica.

I really enjoyed this story!!

This is book 2 in a 3 book series. I thought it was a great murder mystery and well written. The narration was absolutely perfect. In fact the narrator was so good that I found his South American accent (forgive me if I didn’t name the accent correctly) hard to understand at times.
This did not stop me from listening to this great story.
I can’t wait to read/listen to book 3.

A journey towards death

It was an interesting book about to pursuit of a killer, but when I started it I did not know it was book two, I guess I will have to go find book one and read it.

Good investigating

This high quality mystery is loaded with hard boiled investigating, surprising crimes and a varied cast of real people characters.

2nd Book in Series Great too

I enjoyed this 2nd book in this series and how things are shaping up in the various investigations. This is a Series that Needs to be read/listen to in order or one would not understand what is going on. The new Narrator is more animated in his speech and inflections when reading this Story. Looking forward to the 3rd book and the final conclusion of this Story.

A Mostly Boring Thriller

Generally I consider myself a fan of mysteries/thrillers and having been to some of the places in the story, I was hoping for a bit of nostalgia to boot … but it was not to be. The story itself had a little action, but much of it was told in passive voice taking away from any suspense that would have made it interesting and not something that sounds like reading a police report. Even the detailed court proceedings were extremely prediction and not that interesting. Perhaps it would have been better if I had read the first of the series, but this was billed as a potentially stand alone sequel that really wasn’t. Without a solid foundation it was just too easy to drift away and miss parts of the narrated story … but when my attention returned, it never really felt like I missed much. At 5 hours for 250+ pages, it is a bit on the short side, which limited how complex the plot could be … which seemed like it just faded out in the end … or I missed something in the rush for it to be over. I am sure this works for some folks … but not for me.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
