Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown - and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories. Hazard's new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset's role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard's first boyfriend. When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely.

Perfect Lanyon book!
I love Josh Lanyon. I have read a fair amount of Lanyon books. I didn't think it was possible with how much I fell in love with Adrien English after listening to the audiobooks, but The Mermaid Murders is now my favorite Josh Lanyon book.
I really enjoyed the narration of this one and felt that the voices were absolutely perfect (especially his Sam Kennedy voice!).
This book was just about perfect in my eyes and the only thing that would have made it better was to have Sam's POV. Do we really have to wait for 2017 for the next one? Waaaaahhhh!

Fabulous!! Narration, characters, story. The best!
Josh Lanyon is one of the best there is at weaving mystery with romance. Her ability to capture the human condition, to paint all of her characters in a unique and compelling light, is second to none. Sam Kennedy and Jason West are prime examples, as they are each flawed, complicated, and compelling men. The mystery in this story is very tightly written, so intriguing. A definite "read till the end without putting it down" book. I read loads of mysteries and was still surprised at the reveal in this one. Lanyon also writes locations that are so vivid, they feel like actual characters. With this book, I felt as though I was actually there in the midst of the action - seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting. The Mermaid Murders has become one of my favorite Lanyon books and I eagerly await the next book in the series, early in 2017.
I am a huge fan of audio books and have several favorite narrators. Well, add Kale Williams to the top of that list. He took a story I already love and brought it to an entirely new level of awesome. He voices each of the many characters distinctly, capturing their personalities to a T. Nobody sounded like a caricature, no character's voice got confused with another. The character of Sam Kennedy is quite imposing, and Mr Williams absolutely nailed his voice, his mannerisms, his humanity. He conveyed Jason West's strength and sensibilites with sublime detail. To summarize, Mr Williams acted this story to perfection - smoothly capturing each character's emotions, state of mind, and actions His gripping performance had me starting the audio over again the moment I finished it.I am very happy to report that he has agreed with Josh Lanyon to narrate the next two books in this series. Lucky, lucky are we audiophiles!

A Wonderful Mystery...
A huge fan of Josh Lanyon and this story does not disappoint. Murder, mystery, and mayhem...plus a bit of romance. An excellent book. I was kept in suspense right until our protagonist figured it out...those are the best stories!!! As great as this audio book was, the narration of Kale Williams made this story come to life and added so much to the enjoyment. A great combination. An excellent listen!

Suspence mystery
This an excellent murder mystery but I guess I was just looking for some more build up chemistry between West and Kennedy which I didn’t feel. I think I was hoping for something similar with the sizzling chemistry of Ty and Zane another series. 😉

FYI: It's not about mermaids! I'm a huge paranormal science fiction fan and assumed this was about actual mermaids..... nope, total murder mystery haha! Once I let go of that and actually listened to the audiobook, I could t stop! It is terrific!

The Mermaid Murders
I loved this book! The only creepy part was I listened to it on my drive to South Hadley, MA. That was surprising to listen to a book with a serial killer near that area! This is a book I will definitely listen to again! The narrator did a fantastic job and really brought the story and characters to life!
I've actually listened to this series twice in one week and am considering a relisten once I finish my current series. That's how much I love this series. The writing and narration are just perfect!

Enjoyed this audio!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Mermaid Murders to be better than the print version?
Yes, I thought the audio made the book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked both Sam and Jason. The character were different but compelling.
What about Kale Williams’s performance did you like?
He did a great job with the voices.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Sam finally showed some emotion at the end of the book.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed thus series and the spin off stories.

TOAM is dull.Period.
Would you try another book from Josh Lanyon and/or Kale Williams?
Yes -- I like Josh Lanyon quite a lot. I just found the first book in the series dull,and I didn't like Jason - who's part of the MC. I found him obnoxious and pushy, and even a little on the whiny side. I liked Sam Kennedy much more.
This just made me wish she'd kept going with the All's Fair series, rather than moving on to this one. TOAM is setting up the arcs for what's coming, so I'm hoping we'll get some development in Jason and Sam's relationship. There's really no romance here at all. Explicit sex isn't a requirement for me to enjoy a story, but these two have absolutely zero chemistry in the two scenes that there were.
As for the writing, there's an annoying amount of adjectives. If you have to remind me in every sentence who's talking, your conversations aren't flowing as well as they could be.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending felt like it went on and on and on. It's as if she wasn't sure where to end it. In the last 90 seconds it abruptly switched course, which made it feel choppy. But again, it is a set up for a future relationship between Jason and Sam. It just seemed to be rushed, as if she cut quite a bit out.
What does Kale Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like Kale's performance. I hadn't heard him narrate before, and his use of accents and pitch made it easy for me to identify who was speaking.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No. It's very talky, and there's not much in the way of action, humor, or romance. The mystery is only OK, and it is populated with too many unnecessary characters.

This narration DRIPS sex!!! And the story is fabulous, too!!
<strong>Fabulous Murder Mystery!</strong>
Let's keep this short and sweet:
This serial killer-FBI story Lanyon delivered rocked! The mystery, set in rural Massachusetts proved intriguing. The characters, though, were what really made this book take off for me.
Wait, let me rephrase that: the MCs, as portrayed in the audiobook, killed it. Kennedy was a taciturn, lone-wolf agent saddled with an art-crime babysitter, West. The two didn't care for each other at first, but do they ever by the end. The most delicious thing about this audio was Kennedy's voice......it was seriously panty-changing worthy. For real!
So, the book is good.
The audio book rocks. Kennedy's voice drips SEX. 'Nuff said.

Fun book
Loved the story. Started off a little slow but then all of a sudden your there! Couldn't wait to finish this title. Love the back and forth between Jason and Kennedy. I have to admit I judged this book by its over at first but I love Josh Lanyon books
