When an elderly doctor dies after receiving a bottle of cologne from an old friend, that man immediately becomes suspected of his murder. Jamie was trying to start a perfume business and the doctor after as a tester of his new fragrances. A partner in the new business and also a close friend, Demi immediately goes to Jamie's assistance.

Shattered Lung is an intriguing story told from multiple viewpoints: that of the victims (more than one) a private eye team of investigators, Jamie, the killer, and Demi - this latter reporting on the first person - and the whole is interlaced with the recollections of Junior: the killer's past history which had brought him to the state of mind and decision to murder. It is an interests format but distracting, even confusing, especially given the the narrator, Chris Koprowski, though otherwise good, has a tendency not to pause at the endings of chapters, moving straight into the next without indicating the change. To follow the story, therefore, requires complete concentration (or the rewinding of the book to find out what is happening, especially in the earlier chapters).

My thanks to the rights holder of Shattered Lung, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was a slightly eccentric but enjoyable read and I will certainly look out for the work of author Joshua Holmes again in the future.
