The Murder Code

A Remi Laurent FBI Suspense Thriller, Book 2

By: Ava Strong

Narrated by: Kevin Green

The Murder Code is book 2 in a new series, by mystery and suspense author Ava Strong, which begins with The Death Code.

FBI Special Agent Daniel Walker, 40, known for his ability to hunt killers, his street-smarts, and his disobedience, is singled out from the behavioral analysis unit and assigned to the FBI’s new antiquities unit. The unit, formed to hunt down priceless relics in the global world of antiquities, has no idea how to enter the mind of a murderer.

Remi Laurent, 34, brilliant history professor at Georgetown, is the world’s leading expert in obscure historic artifacts. Shocked when the FBI asks for her help to find a killer, she finds herself reluctantly partnered with this rude American FBI agent. Special Agent Walker and Remi Laurent are an unlikely duo, with his ability to enter killers’ minds and her unparalleled scholarship, the only thing they have in common, their determination to decode the clues and stop a killer.

A priceless historic painting is stolen from a museum in Washington, DC, and a dead body is found along with it. When the trail leads back to Paris and demands a historian’s expertise, FBI Special Agent Walker realizes he has no choice but to ask Remi Laurent for her help again. Together, they need to travel to the Louvre, visit the scene of the first murder, decode the message in the stolen paintings, and stop the killer before he strikes again.

A global manhunt ensues in a race against time, as Remi races to understand the clues, and quickly learns that this killer is more diabolical than anything she could have ever imagined.

A crime thriller featuring an unlikely partnership between a jaded FBI agent and a brilliant historian, the Remi Laurent series is riveting mystery, grounded in history, and packed with suspense and revelations that will leave you continuously in shock and listening late into the night.

Engaging

Love the history wrapped up in a murder mystery. The narrator has an excellent grasp of the word pronunciations.

Codes

I enjoyed the puzzle part of this book. The protagonists are likeable and work together well. I am not fond of the narrator, it’s read too mechanically
