About this listen

For the first time in years, things are going well for Long Beach homicide detective Danny Beckett. He's closing cases with his partner, Jennifer Tanaka, and keeping a spare suit at the condo of his girlfriend, Julia Rice. But Danny's peace is shattered when he's called to investigate an apparent suicide - one that quickly reveals itself to be murder.

Just as Danny begins to investigate, a bomb detonates in his car while it's parked in a mechanic's lot, sidelining him from both the murder case and the hunt for his own assassin. Placed in protective custody at the home of his partner, the headstrong investigator must resist the temptation to break protocol - and find the willpower to stop his own self-destructive behavior before it threatens his two most important relationships. But what happens when Danny must choose between following the rules and saving a life?

I really enjoyed the first three installments of the Long Beach Homicide series by Tyler Dilts so I looked forward to the fourth and until now, latest book. I know Long Beach quite well and the series has a lot of local atmosphere. Unfortunately Come Twilight is not as strong as the first three books.

First: at about two thirds into the novel the plot, which isn't very interesting in the first place compared to the first three books, comes to a crashing halt when Danny Beckett goes into hospital and he does a lot of soul searching which goes on and on.

Second: unlike the other three instalments, this book is read by the author himself and to be honest, he is not very good at it. The books are written in the first person with a lot of interior monologue by Beckett and Dilts has the voice of a middle aged man, he narration in monotonous and he make a book that is already slow, sound even slower. Also weird pauses: "I know"......(long pause).....'he said.' Reading (or rather: performing) audio books is a profession in itself and I honestly don't know why authors insist they read their own books when there are so many professional people who do it much better. So for me this enjoyable series ended on a downer. I see Dilts has another stand alone book at Audible but since he also reads that one himself, I think I pass. A pity, because I think he is a good author.
