About this listen

A red-letter day had turned bizarre as a lady in her mid-30s, Ritz Laggard, had been murdered in the most grotesque manner right at the venue of a high-powered business meeting. Inspector Brown is assigned the case file to unravel the killer and has an inkling it was state-sponsored.

Meanwhile, when Stewart Larzio narrowly escaped death by the whiskers, in the same typical scenario as Ritz Laggard, it dawned on Inspector Brown that a serial killer was on the loose as he found a connection between both scenes in the same city of Bloomington.

As Brown is faced with catching a murderer whose antics he has been trying to catch up with, bureaucratic tendencies within the police formation poses as a stumbling block.

He is caught in a limbo shortly after and is left without an option than to play out a script considered too magical for a cop, before the killer claims another victim.

Even though he had to throw in the batch, would he also throw in the towel on catching the killer?

Having read the synopsis for this book I looked forward to listening to it but sorry, it's not my kind of book. I thought the dialogue was disjointed and I found the narrator very monotonous. I tried listening to it twice 2 weeks apart but after a couple of hours each time I had to give it up as a bad job, not having the faintest idea of what was supposed to be going on.
I was kindly given this audio book by the author and have left this honest and voluntary review.

Very disappointed.
