Publisher's summary

Edgar Award nominee Robert Crais’ L.A. Requiem is a gritty, harrowing look into the minds of a serial killer and the men determined to stop him. Elvis Cole and former cop Joe Pike have been partners in a detective agency for 12 years. After an ex-girlfriend of Pike’s disappears, the girl’s father asks them to help the police with the search. When the missing persons case turns into a hunt for a killer who has been stalking victims in Los Angeles, Cole and Pike find themselves battling both a hostile police department and a madman. Ron McLarty’s masterful narration subtly builds a sense of Cole’s and Pike’s growing desperation to find some link between the victims as the body count continues to grow.

Brilliant story, superb performance

This is a brilliant detective story with all the ingredients you need; multiple murders, love, hate, douche bags and heroes - of every calibre. This was my first by Robert Crais but I've already picked up the next novel in the series and I can't wait to get it started.
What do you say about Ron McLarty? For me he's The Narrator against whom all others are measured - and they all invariably come out by the short end of the stick. This is a story that suits him perfectly. His calm voice with just the right degree of subtle variations make the story come to life.
I'd recommend this novel to anyone in for a good crime novel with all the tweaks that'll turn you into an addicted listener.

Love Crais; good story

Good narration by Ron Maclary, another great Elvis Cole, Joe Pike novel by Crais. You learn more what makes Joe tick

Outstanding narration. Best Cole/Pike story yet.

Outstanding narration. There have been some weak narrations on some of Craiss’s books, but McLarty nailed it. Best Cole/Pike story yet. Creepy, evil bad guy in a twisted story. Enjoyed learning about Joe Pike’s past with LAPD.

Narrator Swallowing

Can constantly hear the narrator swallowing and swishing saliva around his mouth while reading. Hugely annoying.

Enjoyed this book - I'll get more by Robert Crais

Solid detective//mystery book. I liked both the Joe Pike and Elvis Cole characters and will look for more in Audible sale offerings. My one criticism is how someone can get shot by a .45, center mass, twice, and walk away. That was a huge problem for me, but the overall book was very enjoyable.

Wonderful storytelling, beautiful character development, this is, in my opinion, the best in the series thus far. Now, on to the next.

One of Crais best!

As a big Jack Reacher fan, I really enjoyed this book. I spent 20 years in California and I could visualize myself walking in the footsteps of Reacher through southern California. He brought the scenes to life. The action was intense and characters were well developed. A very satisfying read.
