Summary

Tom Kendall, a down-to-earth private detective, is asked to investigate the death of a young newspaper reporter. The evidence shows quite clearly that it was an accident: a simple, dreadful accident. That is the finding of the coroner and the local police. Furthermore, there were two witnesses. They saw the whole thing. But was it an accident, or was it something more sinister? Against a backdrop of a viral epidemic slowly spreading from Central America, a simple case soon places Kendall up against one of the largest drug companies in the country.

Although a standalone novel, it is also the third in a series featuring Tom Kendall, private detective.

Book 3

I was totally into the storyline once the first murder happened to cover up the origin of the epidemic. I loved the relationship between Kendall and Mollie. It reminded me of the old Perry Mason episodes. Kendall h reminded me of the old Columbo episodes.

enjoyable



I love John's books. This one is no exception. A murder to cover up the origin of the epidemic. Very apt.

Don't be put off by the title - great crime listen

Firstly let me say I really do enjoy John's previous books and this is the first of Kendall that I have listened to, I listened out of order but that is just how audible choose it.

The narrator is amazing - so easy to listen to, I will investigate more by him as well.

Although the title is epidemic, and is suitable but would have been easier to pick when it was written, now might put people off. DON'T. It is more about the investigation and how the murder is solved, the epidemic is just a side issue.
If I had one criticism, it is just about the access to the CEO. I struggled with that and how Kendall could just walk in for meetings etc. But I get that it was a plot device.

I was given a free copy of this audible by the author for a fair and impartial review which I have done so.

Epidemic

The story is good.A pharmaceutical company sets up a group trial no one knows about in a remote area.A journalist gets the scoop,but no one believes him.The journalist is found dead...who did it?Who knows,everyone shakes their heads,then again,one more time.The head shaking really got to me.There was a lot of repetition.I felt like I was in grade school.I was hoping for a better review.Mark Sando has a good voice.I don;t know if it was him or the material dragging out this story.Cut by a few hours it would have been good.Maybe a new editor would help. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Really interesting story but character is repetitive

I really enjoyed the plot and the characters had good relationships. The PI was a bit too slow on the uptake for me and tended to repeat clues several times. I found this too slow for my personal tastes. If you usually struggle to solve the mystery yourselves and need that extra time, then this is the book for you. The overall plot is good and I liked the relationship between Kendal the PI and his secretary Molly. Every detail is revealed in the end so you are not left wondering.
