About this audiobook
Private investigator Dan Sharp searches the seamy underbelly of the city for a brutal killer.
Following an anonymous tip, missing persons investigator Dan Sharp makes a grisly find in a burned-out slaughterhouse in Toronto’s west end. Someone is targeting known sex offenders whose names and identities were released on the Internet. When an iconic rock star contacts Dan to keep from becoming the next victim, things take a curious turn. Dan’s search for a killer takes him underground in Toronto’s broken social scene — a secret world of misfits and guerrilla activists living off the grid — where he hopes to find the key to the murders.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The second book in the Dan Sharp mystery series, Pumpkin Eater, by Jeffrey Round is a great suspenseful read. This book will captivate you from start to finish; it is definitely the kind of book that you can stay up all night reading just to finish it. Pumpkin Eater is part of a series, but you can definitely read it by itself and still understand the full story. I have not read the first book, but now I want to go back and read the first one. Dan Sharp is a missing persons investigator, who when looking for one of his missing persons... well he finds him. Unfortunately, he finds him in an abandoned slaughterhouse hung up like an animal with his left ear missing. Normally after Dan finds his objective, he is done with his case and he moves on to the next one. However, this one proves different, very different. His latest missing person was a victim of a serial killer, who is killing people that were on the national sex offender registry that had gotten out to the public. In a weird twist, an iconic rock star, Jags Rohmer, asks Dan to be his personal bodyguard after he has gotten some threats. Being in awe of Jags and needing extra money he agrees. Dan soon finds out that Jags got a picture of a left ear, which connects him to the serial murders happening. Who is Jags really and why is he being threatened? Why do the police want Dan to give up his sources? Who is the serial killer and can Dan help find them while keeping himself and his family safe?I really enjoyed this book. I feel like I should note that there is some gay sexuality in this novel being that Dan is gay. However, do not let that deter you from reading this book, because it does not play a huge role and the plot of this novel is fantastic. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good mystery.
