Acerca de esta escucha
Now living in upstate New York, former LAPD lieutenant Peter Decker is plunged into a bizarre web involving academia, underworld crime, and calculating killers in this compulsive novel in New York Times best-selling author Faye Kellerman's beloved Decker and Lazarus series.
Former LAPD lieutenant Peter Decker is relishing the quiet and slow pace of his new job with the Greenbury police department. The work is low stress and engaging, and it's been almost a year since the last murder in this sleepy upstate New York town.
Then the body of a nude man is found deep within the woods, shattering Decker's peace. The death appears to be a suicide - a single shot to the head, the gun by his side. But until the coroner's ruling, the scene must be treated as a suspicious crime. Without any personal effects near the body, Decker must dig to uncover his identity, a task made difficult by the department's tight budget and limited personnel. Luckily Decker gets some unexpected help when his friend and former Greenbury colleague, Tyler McAdams, calls, looking for a quiet place to study for his law finals.
The investigation takes Decker and McAdams to Kneed Loft College, where they must penetrate the indecipherable upper echelons of mathematics and mathematical prodigies. Beneath the school's rarified atmosphere, they discover a sphere of scheming academics, hidden cyphers, and - most dangerous of all - a realm of underworld crime that transforms harmless nerds into cold, calculating evil geniuses. It will take all of Decker's experience and McAdams' brains to penetrate enigmatic formulas and codes and solve a dark, twisted crime devised by some brilliant and depraved masterminds.

They are sons of the same strong-willed mother, and their respective fathers were cops, partners, and friends. Their turbulent family history has set them at odds, despite their shared calling. Moses—part Boy Scout, part bulldog, man of few words—is a no-frills LAPD detective.

As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old Army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Not Faye Kellerman's best
Normally I love her books. I struggled to get through this one. At least one of the characters was annoying. I just didn't find this fun.

Why this narrator?
Stock story for this author / protagonists. My first audiobook by Fay Kellerman. I hated the narrator's gravelly old man voice. Peter Decker, although aging, is supposed to be slightly hot, and the other detective, Tyler, is a young man. I won't even mention how he handles the female characters. Narrator's voice not appropriate for the characters, also not pleasant to listen to . Endless male vocal fry.

Takes a trio to solve this one
Peter, Rina and Tyler join forces to solve this murder (suicide? or both). Tyler McAdams is supposed to be studying for his law finals, but gets involved with Decker's case set at a college, where everyone seems suspect. A brilliant mind shows up dead. How and why did it happen, and why does staff and students alike want to look at his research. It's an interesting case with Rina stepping up to bat, playing a larger role in helping Peter.
I like the way Kellerman has added young characters to liven up Decker's aging years, starting with Chris Donali a few books back. Tyler McAdams adds the bright spot once again in this novel. A satisfying listen, looking forward to the next.

Expected better
Long time listener of this series. This book failed to grasp my interest. Didn't seem to be as well written/edited as previous books.
The narrator's voice is irritating. Could hear the saliva in his mouth every time he took a breath. Couldn't listen with earbuds in.
I'll probably get the next book in the series, but not if the same narrator is reading.

A glimpse in a busy life
Faye Kellerman always delivers . She is so predicable in a very good way. Good characters, little bit of culture, lots of suspense. Reina is taking on a bigger role in Peters work. Very good listen as I peel my apples!

Enjoyable
I have read books by the Kellerman family off and on over the years. This is Faye Kellerman’s Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series. Our protagonists have left Southern California and moved to Greenburg in upper state New York. Both are retired but working part time in their professions.
A gifted Mennonite mathematics’ major at a local college is found shot to death. Decker is looking into it as either a suicide or murder. The medical examiner decides it is suicide just as a math professor from the same college is found murdered. I found Rina’s visit to the Mennonite community interesting. There is some discussion of mathematic theory and terminology as well as the personalities of gifted math students. I noted in the story Kellerman had Rina listening to an audiobook.
The book is well written and well plotted and the story was perfectly paced. The author provided a detailed account of police procedures mixed in with the family activities. There is a relaxed friendly atmosphere to the story. I felt as if I had dropped by to visit an old friend and to hear about their current life. Richard Ferrone provided an engaging narration of the story.

Great story
I've been a fan of Faye Kellerman since her first book. This book is the best ever. I luv Decker's new sidekick, "Harvard", and look forward to more Adventures w him . The info on higher math was interesting. As alwAys I enjoy getting a peek into the observant Jewish lifestyle. Can't wait for the next story.
