Life Extinct

A DCI Sean Bracken Crime Thriller, Book 4

By: John Carson

Narrated by: Angus King

Doctor Angela Monroe is found dead at the foot of Salisbury Crags on Arthur's Seat. An avid runner, it first appears that she fell to her death.

Until the pathologist deems it murder.

It's the night of the summer solstice, and people have been celebrating on the famous dormant volcano.

DCI Sean Bracken and his team are called in to lead the investigation.

Monroe was a well-respected professor, lecturing at a local university, who had no known enemies and was a private person who kept to herself.

Was this a random attack? As they dig deeper into her background, nothing makes sense. But somebody wanted her dead, and when the killer strikes again, it takes the team into a whole new direction.

Meantime, Bracken's girlfriend is being stalked...by a dead man. Logic says it can't be him, but who would want to harm her? She enlists the help of Bracken, who knows all too well that dead men don't stalk...

What kind of book did buy? It sure
started, and started
beautifully, as a very scary thriller.
It continued after
I was hooked and it was very, very good.

And They Would’ve Gotten Away With It, If Not For You Lousy Kids

Honestly, this could’ve been a short story. I swear, the villain’s final speech was lifted straight from a Scooby Do episode. Halfway decent plot, revealed too quickly. The narrator is above reproach, however. I would listen to Angus King read a CVS receipt.
