About this listen

“An exciting mystery with plenty of intriguing and enigmatic characters, It's Murder, My Son is not a read that should be missed for mystery fans.” (Midwest Book Reviews)

What started out as the worst day of Mac Faraday's life would end up being a new beginning. After a messy divorce hearing, the last person that Mac wanted to see was another lawyer. Yet, this lawyer wore the expression of a child bursting to tell his secret, which would reveal Mac as heir to undreamed of fortunes and lead him to the birthplace of America's Queen of Mystery and an investigation that will unfold like one of her famous mystery novels.

Soon after she moves to her new lakefront home in Spencer, Maryland, multi-millionaire Katrina Singleton learns that life in an exclusive community is not all good. For some unknown reason, a strange man calling himself “Pay Back” begins stalking her. When Katrina is found strangled, all evidence points to her terrorist, who is nowhere to be found.

Three months later, the file on her murder is still open with only vague speculations from the local police department when Mac Faraday, sole heir to his unknown birth mother's home and fortune, moves into the estate next door. Little does he know as he drives up to Spencer Manor that he is driving into a closed gate community that is hiding more suspicious deaths than his DC workload as a homicide detective. With the help of his late mother's journal, this retired cop puts all his detective skills to work to pick up where the local investigators have left off to follow the clues to Katrina's killer.

A Community Full of Secrets

Mac, an about to be bankrupt, police detective unexpectedly inherits millions from his estranged, detective fiction author, mother. Mac is soon retired and taking up residence on his mothers estate. He learns of the recent death of a neighbour and, as a former homicide detective, can't help but become embroiled in the suspicious circumstances. A wonderfully immersive novel with great characters, lots of plot twists and turns plus expressive narration. Very enjoyable.

It's murder but very good

I enjoyed this book. I have listened to a number of books by this author (and have given them all Five stars so far) so i wanted to go back to the beginning to see how it all began and I am so glad that I did because it was good. This book might not contain as many plot twists or action scenes as her more recent books but there is still a lot going on that will keep you guessing and saying arh as it is revealed. The story is nicely blends with mystery, humour and entertaining characters, I especially loved the dog Gnarly and all the mischief he gets into. I think everybody knows a Gnarly. The mystery has a lot of suspects and I think I suspected every single one at one point or another which kept me hooked until the very end. I can't wait to get stuck into this next adventure.
Mac Faraday lost his job and his wife so the last thing he wanted to see was a lawyer. However when he finally caught up to him he changed his life for ever. The famous author and the the woman who gave him up for adoption has left him everything, including a house, a food stealing dog, a very capable assistant in Archie, a police detective as a step brother and a murder to solve. His mothers neighbour was found dead after a storm and with no sign of a break in everybody jumps to the easy answer of her stalker having killed her. Mac and his brother, David, don't think it is that easy when Gnarly brings home a head. The only problem is pushing to get the case reopened means that David becomes the number one suspect and is tired from his job. Can Mac, David, Archie and Gnarly uncover the secrets and find out what happened on that stormy night and why so many of his neighbour are keeping secrets and willing to get a killer to free?
I liked the narrator. He used his voice well to bring life into some already great characters.
