About this listen
The Cold Case Squad of the NYPD is overworked, understaffed, but receiving great press due to star detective Everett Larkin. His uncanny memory and Holmesian-like skills of deduction have already led to the capture of one serial killer. Now he’s identified a second predator and brought an end to their 20-plus-year reign of terror.
Routine construction at a Broadway souvenir shop leads to the discovery of a mummified woman in the wall. And when Larkin receives a mysterious VHS tape that same night, he knows it’s no coincidence. Expecting a Victorian mourning artifact to surface in this new mystery, Larkin wastes no time turning to boyfriend Ira Doyle of the Forensic Artists Unit for help.
A web of nameless victims, countless suspects, and endless lies drag Larkin and Doyle deep into the gritty past of Times Square, reopening painful wounds and testing the fortitude of their relationship. And all the while, someone is watching, biding their time until they can make Everett Larkin nothing…but a memory.

The amount of research that the author puts into each book is simply astounding.
Amazing world building with such well fleshed out characters and I really can't emphasize just how much New York is it's own character as well.
Larkin and Doyle are the slowest burn I've ever had the privilege to read and it's absolutely fitting for them.
I'm thoroughly enjoying getting to see them slowly lowering their walls and be able to be vulnerable with one another.
There are plenty of twists and turns that kept me intrigued and speeding towards the ending.
Kale Williams did an amazing job portraying these characters and bringing them to life.
Wonderful continuation of the series

Kale Williams' narration is excellent, and I had no trouble differentiating between characters. I'd already read this book on Kindle but went for the audio because (a) is a great story, and (b) I like Kale Williams as a narrator, and I was not disappointed 😀
Looking forward to book 4 being recorded as well.
Brilliant!

Everett and Ira's very slow-burn romance continues apace, in much the same way as Everett's battle with Xanax addiction BUT hopefully he will win that battle [and the romance] with Ira's help. As far as the Memento Mori killer is concerned, I have some vague ideas about who it is [still think it's a co-worker or former colleague, connected with Patrick's death and Everett's dreadful head injury, and at least a name was mentioned this time around], but thank goodness some of the murderous 'foot soldiers' are being taken out in the crossfire.
Such a shame Kale Williams doesn't seem to have a fantastic range of voices to call upon...his sexy 'Ira' voice is to die for. 4.25 stars.
Not as good as the others for me...

pick out a few details that paint both the physical and psychological landscape of the narrative, in vivid and maticulous strokes that sometimes peaks into the transcendant and poetic. While not explicit this feels like a a glimpse through the neuro divergent lense that Larkin sees the world. The love story feels unique in both its depth and sensitivity to both the characters complex histories and trauma, and presents a dynamic that is both flawed and beautiful. Without utilising some of more expected troupes for romance development, the unconditional high regard they show each other is just as heart warming, and along with their (albeit in part detached) compassion for the victims, provides a striking counter balance to the brutality of the crimes they are investigating. You know it's good when at the end you are happy to be left holding a wealth of unfinished threads requiring a sequel... not frustrated by the lack of closure.
brilliant!
