Disclaimer: I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Troy Lambert. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
So this was the second installment for the Capital City Murders series, and we have moved into Oregon. In this situation, there has been a murder of a doctor at the Oregon State Hospital. It seems to be in the mental health wing, from what it sounded like. Somehow one of the patients found a secret room in a tunnel underneath the building, and that’s where he found the dead doctor. Luckily, one of the night guards on duty found both of them, and made sure to call the police. With the government wanting to keep any negative press on the Oregon State Hospital out of the press, will they end up preventing the case from being solved?
Again we have Nick very interested in the case, and he wants to help solve the murder. His editor is not so keen on that idea – he seems to be focusing a bit more on the murder case than on his assignment… you know, the one that he’s getting paid to travel across the country for? Well knowing what we know about Nick, we know that there’s just something about solving mysteries that he just can’t get over. I get it, I like solving mysteries too. It actually makes me think he should be a private detective on the side if he likes to solve murders and stuff. Just a thought, Nick!
In this case, we also get to meet someone from Nick’s life, an old classmate who is now a journalist working on the story. I like the dynamic of a new partner being involved because we get to see how Nick works with someone else, even if this person isn’t going to be a permanent partner. I don’t know if I just wasn’t in the headspace to listen to it clearly, but for some reason I kept missing the reveal and had to keep listening to the book from the beginning. Not to say that the story wasn’t good – these mini murder mysteries are great for those who want a quick mystery to solve on a short amount of time – but I just kept missing it. I don’t mind though, because I am enjoying the series so far and wouldn’t mind listening to either of them again. Can’t wait to listen to the next one on the tour!
