City of Echoes

Detective Matt Jones, Book 1

By: Robert Ellis

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

On Detective Matt Jones's first night working Homicide in LA, he's called to investigate a particularly violent murder case: a man has been gunned down in a parking lot off Hollywood Boulevard, his bullet-riddled body immediately pegged as the work of a serial robber who has been haunting the Strip for months. Driven by the grisliness of the crime, Jones and his hot-tempered partner, Denny Cabrera, jump headfirst into the investigation. But as Jones uncovers evidence that links the crime to a brutal, ritualized murder that occurred eighteen months prior, he begins to suspect that there's more going on beneath the surface. When Jones discovers shocking, deep-seated corruption; a high-level cover-up; and his own personal ties to the rising body count, he's no longer sure he can trust anyone, even himself.

twists and turns

Every time I had this figured out, there was another layer to the onion. Certainly kept me listening!

City of Echoes

Good read during a winter storm would like to read more from this talented author

very exciting , good plot.

Well performed. it was really good up until the end, what happened, did he die? did he confront his father? what...?

Who can you trust?

I loved this book. Yes, a little bit over the top, but with the twist and turns, it was hard to stop reading it. Narration was great as well. I would recommend.

This is a difficult book to put down!

This book is full of wonderful twists and wonderfully illustrated creepy villains. It's reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, with more of the gore left to your imagination than Harris describes.
I will seek out both this writer and the narrator in the future.
