About this listen

In the words of Lee Child on Gone to Dust, “I want more of Nils Shapiro.” New York Times best-selling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt Goldman happily obliges by bringing the Minneapolis private detective back for another thrilling stand-alone adventure in Dead West.

Nils Shapiro accepts what appears to be an easy, lucrative job: find out if Beverly Mayer’s grandson is foolishly throwing away his trust fund in Hollywood, especially now, in the wake of his fiancée’s tragic death. However, that easy job becomes much more complicated once Nils arrives in Los Angeles, a disorienting place where the sunshine hides dark secrets.

Nils quickly suspects that Ebben Mayer’s fiancée was murdered, and that Ebben himself may have been the target. As Nils moves into Ebben’s inner circle, he discovers that everyone in Ebben’s professional life - his agent, manager, a screenwriter, a producer - seems to have dubious motives at best.

With Nils' friend Jameson White, who has come to Los Angeles to deal with demons of his own, acting as Ebben’s bodyguard, Nils sets out to find a killer before it’s too late.

I really could have been listening to a Robert Crais book, characters almost identical
Found the ending quite weak and disappointing, other than that the story was good
A few too many silly voices spoiled the narration but I would listen to another book by the same author

Just like an Elvis Cole novel

reminded me of Hiassen and Leonard with added emotional tugs, it's been a while since I enjoyed a book so much

very very enjoyable

I quite enjoyed the story, the narration was interesting to say the least but I kept going to the end which can’t be that bad as when it’s really bad I give up immediately

Good story - bizarre narration

Funny, clever and I want more of Nils. Highly recommended - go for it, it’s a cracker!

Loved it!
