Bloodthirsty

By: Marshall Karp

Narrated by: Tom Stechschulte

Acclaimed television writer Marshall Karp has been lauded for his Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs mysteries, including The Rabbit Factory. These two contentious friends investigate Hollywood homicides that no one else will touch. In their second teaming, Lomax and Biggs are on the trail of a killer who knocked off one of the most despised men in the movie industry. There’s only one problem - the lead suspect just got plugged as well.

Story was good. Funny. 1/2 the narration was good.

Karp is a good writer and very funny albeit a little unnecessarily filthy at times. James Jenner’s 1/2 of the narration was ok, but his heavy breathing, lip smacking, and audible swallowing was really brutal.

Really am enjoying this series

Fun follow up to Rabbit Factory. Lomax and Biggs are a very fun team. The story is solid with humor and good characters. Enjoyed the reader too. Thumbs up!

Better Than An Episode of CSI: Hollywood

There isn't really that much unique out original about Lomax and Biggs. The plot here would make a great episode of CSI or Criminal Minds or almost any other cop show. But the book, and the series, have three major selling points: 1) superior narration; 2) a "laugh out loud" sense of humor; and 3) perfectly proportioned, bite-sized chunks. In other words, it's fun to listen to and exactly as long as it needs to be.

FUN

A good way to spend a rainy day (or two)! Excellent narration and characterization. First book by Karp, will not be my last.

Tragic story but amusing characters.

I listened to this, the second in the Lomax & Biggs series. It's a tragic story, but is not a normal mystery since we find out early on who is carrying out the killing and why. The book is better than the first, The Rabbit Factory, in that it is no longer than it needs to be; it is funnier and has more believable characters. The narrator, Tom Stechschulte, is terrific, making it much more fun to listen to than to read.
