About this listen

 IN THE FIRST BOOK OF PETER MAY'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ENZO FILES, FORENSICS EXPERT ENZO MACLEOD WAGERS THAT HE CAN SOLVE SIX PERPLEXING COLD CASES--AND UNEXPECTEDLY PLACES HIMSELF DIRECTLY IN HARM'S WAY.
"ACTION-PACKED." --ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"BRISK AND THRILLING." --THE BALTIMORE SUN
"THOROUGHLY ENGAGING." --LIBRARY JOURNAL

Half-Scottish, half-Italian Enzo MacLeod used to be one of the top forensics experts in Scotland, and now he lives in Toulouse, working as a university professor. Divorced in Scotland and widowed in France, he has an estranged Scottish daughter and a French daughter he has raised by himself.
As if his life isn't complicated enough, he soon finds himself unexpectedly on the hunt for solutions to some vexing cold cases thanks to an ill-advised wager about the power of forensic science.

Meanwhile, in Paris, a man desperately seeking sanctuary flees into a church. The next day, his sudden disappearance will make him famous throughout France.

Deep in the catacombs below the City of Light, MacLeod unearths disturbing clues deliberately left behind by a killer. But as the retired forensics expert draws closer to the truth, he discovers he may just wind up the next victim for his troubles.©2013 Peter May (P)2019 Quercus Editions Limited Amateur Sleuths Crime Thrillers Fiction International Mystery & Crime Mystery Private Investigators Thriller & Suspense Crime Detective Thriller Suspense

I loved the Lewis trilogy and Coffin Road. This drew me on to The Enzo Stories!

The story begins in Paris.

Enzo Macleod is a Forensic expert.

He takes a bet that he can solve the seven most notorious French murders, armed with modern technology & the advances of science. Little does he realise, at the time of the bet, how much computer science will also help him to discover the killers of the first murder he tackles.

He begins his search in the catacombs below the city.

Will he be the next victim?

Love Peter May & Peter Forbes Reads It So Well!

This is well written and narrated book in every sense of the word. I had to keep listening until I came to the end. In other words I was fully hooked. I am now going to download the second book in this series called "The Critic" Highly recommend this book to anyone that loves a good mystery with loads of clues to figure out. Highly recommend this book

Brilliant

Disappointing as storyline looked promising but as someone without any knowledge of the French language, it was hard work.

Good for people with working knowledge of French @ Paris!

I have just finished listening to the whole series and felt I should write a review. I listened to every book in order one after the other and enjoyed every minute. I had already become a fan of author and narrator, having listened to the hebrides series as well as some of the stand alone novels. I loved Enzo and his family and will miss him like a friend. The mysteries and murders he solves are intriguing, the action exciting,

Highly recommended
