BLURB:
Cold Case Detective, Ronan O’Mara, is looking forward to starting a new life in his new home, but when a strange house warming gift appears on his doorstep, he has no idea that it marks the start of a series of events that will put his life, and the lives of everyone close to him in danger. When murders similar to those committed by a dead serial killer, Rod Jacobson, start occurring around Boston, Ronan is certain he has a copycat killer on his hands.
Psychic, Tennyson Grimm, is approached by friends for help dealing with issues surrounding their son. He quickly realizes there is more going with the boy than teenaged angst. Though he doesn’t want to believe it, his psychic abilities and a series of strange paranormal occurrences point to a link between the troubled teen and the murder victims that are turning up all over Boston.
When Ronan is attacked during the investigation, it’s up to Tennyson and Captain Fitzgibbon to find the killer without him. Will they be able to stop the murderer before the evil that surrounds him destroys them all?
REVIEW:
So we are now four books into this series. Villains have been defeated and criminals arrested. The relationship between the Ten and Ronan is developing. By now I thought I knew what this series would bring – more of the same – in a good way mind you. I was mistaken and boy was I ever. There were things I did not see coming and I can’t say that about many books. Dead Weight was an emotional rollercoaster with smiles and tears intertwined.
Fore once Ronan and Ten are finally on solid ground. There’s no back and forth, no secrets or unnecessary drama. Something I’ve been longing for since the second book or so. Relationships aren’t friction free, so some drama is to be expected. Anyway, this book starts off with them moving into their newly purchased house – right next door to their friends. Add in some wedding planning and life is good four our two heroes. That is until the past rears it ugly head. And it’s ugly. Very ugly, and very, very dangerous.
Remember Rod Jacobson, the serial killer from Dead Retconning, the one who tortured and brutally killed teenage boys? Well his body might be dead and gone but his spirit sure isn’t. It’s live and kicking. It has possessed another (live) body and is on the prowl again. He’s aiming to finish what he started, and there are many beloved characters on that hit list…
I loved Michael Pauley’s narration of this book. He made time fly, and before I realised it, hours had passed and I’d listened to the entire book in one go. I was captivated, I lived in this story, hunted for Rod along with Ten and Ronan. I wouldn’t exactly say that I had a blast, but that’s because of the content of the story not the narration or writing.
I love this psychic and detective troupe and am really enjoying this series and can’t wait for the next book to be released into audio.
