Summary

Murder... Greed... Treason... The morning after Halloween, the city of St. Paul awakens to find that a serial killer terrorizing the blue-collar working women of University Avenue has struck for the fifth time.

Thirty-two-year-old, fourth-generation St. Paul Homicide Detective Michael "Mac" McRyan thought his day was going to be less stressful. His day would involve paper work, coffee, and maybe even an early trip to the pub. Then his cell phone tells him his day is about to change. A body has been found in a high-end condominium between Summit and Grand Avenues; and it's not just anyone.

"Your day just got worse," Mac tells his captain. The victim is Claire Daniels, the Twin Cities' most prominent political and investigative reporter. Claire was stunningly attractive. She had blonde hair, blue eyes and a curvaceous body she worked on relentlessly. Claire was the desire of every man in town.

With the Daniels murder on top of the latest serial killer attack, the political and media pressure on the St. Paul Police Department only builds and places Mac in the middle of a dangerous and high-stakes murder investigation that will ultimately have national political and security implications.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Roger Stelljes delivers an action packed story in the McRyan Mystery Series. Vince Flynn described Roger as: "A powerful new thriller voice." Stelljes' vivid characters, his gift for gritty and real dialogue, as well as his uncanny sense of place and time, will put you in the middle of the action allowing you to feel the desperation of Mac McRyan and his fellow detectives.

Slow intricate start - Persevere it's Worth it!

This is a series that I'm going to enjoy getting into.

Procedural police work, plausible lucky breaks, and a great story. A lot of characters to get to grips with, but all in all, a highly entertaining listen.

Very slow to get into - gave up in the end

Incredibly difficult to get into and have to be honest - I gave up. I found the narrator's voice annoying especially when speaking for a female character. The plot, well, there wasn't much in the first half other than the flurry of murders but I found the plot and way the story is written simply didn't keep my attention. Very unusual for me as I read all sorts of genre and styles and it is rare I cannot get into a story at all.

Good plot, kept me guessing

Where does The St. Paul Conspiracy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not one of the best, but I did find it entertaining and it kept me engaged. I switched back and forth between the audiobook and the kindle book and rather enjoyed the kindle a bit more.

What other book might you compare The St. Paul Conspiracy to, and why?

Like any good police procedural, it includes some twists and turns to keep you interested and guessing.

What three words best describe Johnny Peppers’s voice?

Personally, I find his voice a bit irritating, as I'm not used to the southern twang and I wasn't convinced that big city Minneapolis cops would speak like that. Sounded to me more like west Texas.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Fast paced. Will keep you guessing until the end.

Any additional comments?

Although I enjoyed the book I thought the dialogue and situations were a bit hokey and not always convincing. Without giving away the plot, after a major violent event, they are all in the bar having a great time like it was not a big deal. I doubt that would be the case.

The story line was ok

I enjoyed listening to the story line and the conspiracy but I thought the young detective was a little over played and the shootout was very dangerous in a public place
