The May Day Murders
The May Day Murders, written by Scott Wittenburg.
The autumnal tranquility of Smithtown, Ohio is shattered when Dr. David Bradley arrives home to find that his wife has been raped and murdered by an intruder who has left no clues behind except the words “May Day” painted in lipstick on his victim’s body. When the police later learn that another Smithtown resident has been raped and strangled in her New York City apartment, it becomes frighteningly clear that a cunning serial killer targeting Smithtown women is on the prowl.
Newspaper reporter Sam Middleton is determined to help Detective Roger Hagstrom track down the assailant of his ex-wife’s best friend. Sam can only hope that his estranged wife and teenage daughter are out of harm’s way living hours away in the Columbus suburb of Woodcrest. One terrifying question continues to gnaw at Sam as the mystery unfolds: Who will the killer’s next victim be?

I thought the story was good, nice murder suspense story. It was a bit predictable but still entertaining.
The narration was a bit fast I thought, the narrator didn’t have very good intonation between the characters. The book was a lot of dialog so a better way of distinguishing between the characters would have gone a long way towards make the book much more enjoyable.

I thought the story was well put together. The twist with the villain was well thought out. I sort of knew who the last victim would be about part way through. Excellent podcast altogether. I can’t wait to see more. I will definitely pick up the book for my library.
