A Killing in the City

Tom Kendall, Book 4

By: John Holt

Narrated by: Christopher Hunter

‘To make a killing in the City’ is a phrase often used within the financial world, to indicate making a large profit on investments, or through dealings on the stock market--the bigger the profit, the bigger the killing. However, Tom Kendall, a private detective, on vacation in London, has a different kind of killing in mind when he hears about the death of one of his fellow passengers who traveled with him on the plane from Miami. It was suicide apparently, a simple overdose of prescribed tablets. Kendall immediately offers his help to Scotland Yard. He is shocked when he is told his services will not be required. They can manage perfectly well without him, thank you.

Great Read

A Killing In The City (Kendall Book 4) was a great read by John Holt. Tom Kendall, a private detective on vacation in London. He finds out that one of his fellow passengers he travelled on the plane with died. They believe he overdosed on prescribed tablets. Kendall immediately offers his help and Scotland Yard tells him that his services will not be required. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Highly recommended !!

"Wow! What else can I say? This story is wonderful. Kendall is a likable, memorable private investigater bound by unquestioned values of justice...Individual voices are displayed and all the characters are quite visible in the mind's eye." - 

an interesting detective story

I liked the story by line. it reminded me a little of Colombo. Kendall was like a dog with a bone. he kept telling the inspector that the man was murdered. the narrator was a little flat sounding. monotone, but other than that good story

3 1/2

The story developed slowly which allowed me to settle in and learn the rhythms of this author. The plot filled in nicely, the characters were interesting. I liked the thinking of the private eye, he jumped around a lot but always finally focused on the evidences of crime. My mind found this very easy to follow and together we solved the crime.
I was distracted by the narrator so often using the word "aksed" and his verypoor reading of the text. He has a nice voice, I hope he gets more coaching and practice.
