Capitol Murder

By: Phillip Margolin

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

Deadly intrigue, breathtaking twists, and exhilarating suspense await in the third book of Phillip Margolin’s New York Times bestselling Washington Trilogy. Hot on the heels of Supreme Justice, Margolin delivers another heart-pounding thriller featuring private investigator Dana Cutler and lawyer Brad Miller, who are forced by a terrorist attack on a football stadium—and by the escape of Executive Privilege’s convicted serial killer Clarence Little—to follow a sinister trail of lies, treachery, and betrayal into an unexpected new arena: the U.S. Congress.

“Phillip Margolin knows how to pack in the thrills.” —Tess Gerritsen

What did you like best about Capitol Murder? What did you like least?

this had a good outline and characters. I have not listened to #1 & 2 as they were recorded in earlier years and I wanted to experience readers' current recording cadence closes to 2014. I thought author spent too much time referring to #1 & 2 and not staying with the story a bit more in-depth. the 3 stories had a lot of information that connects the whole novel, but at times sounded more of an outline. I have more of this author in my wish list due to some good readers.

Would you recommend Capitol Murder to your friends? Why or why not?

this is not my genre, I am a core romance listener, but am desperate to hear more of JD voice telling me a story. The characters are great, and book1 & 2 may do better justice to them. Author has a way of spinning a tale and this books' ending did not disappoint.

What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love JD reading abilities. His 2014 deep cadence in Sandra Browns' Mean Streak, was so great, I have been trying to find other reads/authors that his voice can do justice to the story. JD performance saved this story. JD is his main stream name. I do not know if he has a romance or erotic A.K.A. name, but I would love it if someone would point out that name. i.e.: sean crisen aka dan john miller of Nora Roberts the Pagan stone, hot.

Did Capitol Murder inspire you to do anything?

I will keep searching JD reads until I can ID his voice on the audible samples. Dana story may be good as she is tough and smart as a whip. She actually is the glue to this story, not Brad. Book 1 & 2 may showcase Brad more, but you have to buy the books to know.

Any additional comments?

ps: Clarance is just plain creepy, but adds to this story. Side note: this is my 2nd read from this author. So far After Dark seems the best story read by Angela Dawe, you will need a tissue.

Excellent!

This book was very good. It took me a little while to become enthralled, but I was sucked in and very happy with the ending.

A Rodeo Ride

Margolin does it again, another Political Thriller racing to a great end. This is better than reality within the Beltway.

narrator needs to research pronounciation.

to Jonathon Davis... Willamette is pronounced "wil.AM.it" not "willa.me". please get it right if you are going to read any more.

Very Entertaining and Suspenseful

Yes, I agree that you kinda know that the suspense surrounding what Clarence Little (the serial killer) is up to is just a convenient ploy by the author to bring added suspense to the story, but that's okay because he brings it all together in the end in a good way, and there are other suspenseful parts to the story. Dana Cutter is my favorite character. She is a superwoman. A detective who can handle different weapons and has good instincts. I enjoyed Capitol Murder just as much as I enjoyed Executive Privilege. I will read more of Phillip Margolin. Jonathan Davis is an excellent performer. He must speak several languages because his range includes several dialects.
