Defenestration in Denver: Capital City Murders #10, my thirteenth read from author Troy Lambert. After reading Silenced in Salt Lake: Capital City Murders Book #11, my first read from author Troy Lambert, I wanted to read more in the series and this one doesn’t disappoint. I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. As always, Joseph L. Stevenson’s narration adds to the book’s enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
This original series about a photographer who is on an assignment to visit each of the State capitols has reached Denver.
Once again Nick gets himself embroiled in a murder investigation, where the victim is thrown out of a window. Things are made more complicated by visits from friends and also a breakdown in trust between Nick and the press and the police.
Once again the mystery is very well done and the descriptions of Denver are very enjoyable, I have never been to the USA but this series is really giving me an insight into the different states and their capitols.
Characters abound in the latest Nick O’Flannigan story as we get to spend some quality time with Gerry, Catherine, and Sandra. We see Nick at his best and his worst as this tale unfolds. Gerry and Catherine are a perfect match and add color to an already intriguing novel. We finally see the true dynamics between Nick and Sandra after seeing them in “Slaying in Salem” and then again in “Strangled in Sacramento”. The world building is excellent as always and the description of the food makes one want to tag along and partake with them. This is the best story to date because of the interactions of the four friends and Nick’s frustration because he has to split his time between the police and his guests. One can feel Nick’s angst as the story progresses. One can only imagine what the next story holds as we await “Silenced in Salt Lake City”!
This time Nick is joined in Denver by his girlfriend Sandra, his friend Gerry and her girlfriend! On the way to the airport he stops near the capital and sees 3 men being pushed out of the IRS window. One lands on the car next to him! In his shock he starts shooting pics hoping to help identify the perpetrators! As he tries to enjoy his time with friends the scene keeps poking at his mind. Before he knows it his time is up and he’s back on the road again!
I received an review copy,voluntarily but this is my review
Captivating, suprising more fascinating between nick handling the case scenario and new girlfriend, and his friends
Well-written, (as are the others) with a captivating story that is a fast and satisfying read. Nick, the photographer/reporter just can’t catch a break as he visits each state’s capital city only to stumble across foul play and murder. He is working with his publisher to put out a book to highlight the best and wonderful scenes in all the capital cities. Denver is the current city in which Nick witnesses people coming out of a window during a protest as he sits in traffic, of course snapping pictures as things happen. There are some recurring characters whom we see again, and some plot twists that are nicely placed, and although I suggest reading this book in series order, this book does just fine as a standalone – the characters and story are well-developed enough to pick up right here and not be lost. So, if you are looking for a fun mystery that doesn’t bog you down, this is a great book for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book and am providing my honest and unsolicited review.
