The Slowest Death

Detective Jack Murphy and his partner 'Bigfoot' Liddell make their 6th appearance in this terrific crime thriller. He and his partner are looking for a serial killer. First a fellow cop was tortured, mutilated and killed. Railroad spikes were driven into his eyes. During the autopsy, a monkey figurine declaring See No Evil was found shoved down his throat. And then a judge is found after having been set on fire. Another figurine was found in his throat. A Mob associate and a lawyer are the next to be brutally murdered. What connects all these victims? Why would a serial killer pick out this small town in Indiana? Everyone connected with this case ha secrets .... secrets they may be killed for before Murphy can stop the killer. This is well-written, as has all the books in this particular series. While doing well as a stand alone, I highly recommend starting at the very beginning. I love the characters. Murphy and Liddell have been partners forever and I enjoy the interaction between these two. The humor between them is closer than most brothers. They have each others' backs, come hell or high water. The story premise is a good one. Full of twists and turns, lies and secrets, the ending blew me away. Just can't get much better than this. Many thanks to the author / Kensington Books-Lyrical Underground / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Now that was a great book if you love police stories.

Nice
