About this listen
Not so cute and cuddly! Not a cozy mystery! Not like any crime story you have listened to.
Serena McKay, P.I., lives in a post-apocalyptic dystopian time where the rich get richer and the poor are homeless. Existence in August City is nightmarish at best and disastrously chilling at worst. Serena has suffered from devastating emotional and physical abuse but she continues to do her job in spite of it.
Fans of Jessica Jones and post-apocalyptic fiction will love Purple Kitty!
As a strong, albeit dysfunctionally-flawed private investigator, Serena uses every weapon in her arsenal to solve bloodcurdling crimes in this hard-boiled, dark-fiction, dystopian thriller series while a notorious serial killer is after her green eyes...
Can Serena catch The Cellophane Killer who slaughters women with green eyes and then wraps them up in cellophane like a sandwich for her to find? Will she catch him, or will he catch her?

"He's coming for you."
August City and some 50 years in the future, a place divided by the haves and have nots. Until she made detective, Serena McKay had suffered physical abuse both at the Academy and after, from her fellow male officers wanting to keep the job for the boys. But she endured - she needed the job - until setting up as a P.I taking on cases abandoned by the police.
Which was how she came to meet the mother of a missing chi!d, already gone for.nearly two weeks, the only real clue, a left behind, favourite purple kitty toy. Something about the woman triggers memories of her own mother and, through her recollections, not only does the reader get to know about Serena, but the detective is also able to solve the missing child case. But further distraction slows her down: a new murder spree has broken out in the city and Serena keeps thinking she's receiving a message: "He's coming for you."
Very cleverly presented and well written, this is not the usual comfortable P.I. tale but one scarred by personal violence, abuse, endurance and self loathing, and not one to be entered into lightly. It is a powerful story and, despite not particularly liking the main protagonist, this reader was totally riveted throughout. I
Narration is by Kim Rossi, who is magnificent as Serena relating the story from her perspective throughout. Emotionally imbued, her reading carries the text to perfection and the voices of the other protagonists are also individually delivered. Her's is a good performance which enhances the book right through to the end.
My thanks to the rights holder of Purple Kitty, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. This was my first experience of the author's writing as i very much enjoyed the intensity of feeling. A second book, Blue Cadillac, is already avajable, ( though, sadly, not yet on Audiobook ) which presumably takes up Serena's story from where Purple Kitty ended. I've bought the book already.
Please note, this book deals with unpalatable ideas and happenings, so beware.
