About this listen

After recording the last interview of a month-long media extravaganza orchestrated by the brass, NYPD Detectives Chiara Corelli and P. J. Parker are hoping for time out of the spotlight working cold cases and/or solving low profile murders. But the brutal murder of Alessandra Moreau, a singer on track to becoming a superstar, in the living room of New York State Senator Leigh Drayman, a trans woman, is anything but.

Besides Drayman, only Moreau's twin sister and her wife knew she was a trans woman, so Corelli and Parker focus their attention on three suspects—the agent/manager stealing from her, a man from her attorney's office who assaulted her, and H, a rejected lover who she fears.

And when they find thirteen trans women murdered in exactly the manner as Moreau in just over two years, their focus changes and they enlist the senator's help to get the NYPD to set up a task force.

With the murder of two more trans women in New York City, the killer seems to be taunting them. But they are no closer to finding him then they were after Moreau was murdered.

As they dig deeper into those early murders, they eliminate suspects and begin to focus on the one with motive, means, and opportunity.

Audiobook 5 in the 'Chiara Corelli' series mirrors the previous books but is still a good listen ! Once again we see plenty of detecting and at the end the Killer is caught 'bang to rights', so no messy scratching around for proof to bring them to justice (I actually like this about the series)! AC gives an excellent performance and gives life to the two MC's. I would of liked CM the author to gives us more of the romantic relationships that Chiara and PJ were involved in. There are no more 'Chiara Corelli', audiobooks (or Books for that matter) so sadly it looks like Book/Audiobook 5 is the last in the series ? I hope there are more because our two MC's and the listeners deserve more of the duo and eventually a fab HEA !

Audiobook 5 !

An excellent crime mystery. I have to go back and listen to the whole of the series as I was reminded of, not only the brilliant story telling but also the wonderful characters. I eagerly awaited the next book.

So worth the wait
