The Horror at Murden Cove
The Horror at Murden Cove | D D Black
2 posts | 2 read
A triple homicide. A blind witness. What is the sound of evil? Late one night, four friends walked to a park in an affluent Bainbridge Island neighborhood to celebrate the sale of their tech startup. The next morning, three dead bodies were found. One witness was left alive. Blind from birth, she didn't see anything. But she heard everything. The killer took his time, butchering her friends as she listened to every sadistic moment. What she heard left her broken, traumatized, and barely able to speak. Private investigator Thomas Austin is the only person who can get her to open up. And when she does, the suspect list is shocking: the murders were committed by one of five people, all of whom the witness was dating. Stranded on the island after a rare summer storm closes the bridges and ferries, Austin must crack the case before the storm ends and the killer escapes forever. But when another massacre occurs-this one more gruesome than the first-he realizes the killer's motive is not what he imagined. This killer is more depraved than any he's ever seen. This is the stuff of nightmares. Series List (can be read in any order): Book 1: The Bones at Point No Point Book 2: The Shadows of Pike Place Book 3: The Fallen of Foulweather Bluff Book 4: The Horror at Murden Cove Book 5: The Terror in the Emerald City

Book #4 in the series. It‘s a good mystery. I still am not sure about Austin‘s supposed age & lack of knowledge of both anything 90‘s/pop culture-related and internet/AI/computer/tech-related. Seems like he should be 15-20 years older if he‘s that out of touch. The side story with his wife‘s murder is fairly slow going too.

These characters might have grown on me.

I love mysteries located on islands, especially the isolated ones. This had even storm so even better - I really loved the setting & atmosphere.

This was intriguing to read and I enjoyed.
