    About this audiobook

    MYSTERY. Tom Pasmore, ten years old, survives a near fatal accident.  During his long recovery, he becomes obsessed with an unsolved murder and finds he has clues to solving it that he shouldn’t.  Lamont von Heilitz has spent his life solving mysteries, until he wanted to know nothing more of the terror of life and the horror of death.  When a new murder disrupts their world of wealth, power, and pleasure, the two must form an unlikely partnership to confront demons from the past and the dark secrets that still haunt the present.

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.

      Mystery starts a bit slow, typical Straub fare, and before you realize it... you're caught up in the momentum of this yarn.
      As a reader you recognize the cheesey elements and yet Straub gets away with it. One can't help but imagine that the author is laughing internally at the reader, knowing that the reader is getting caught up in the web of the plot.
      Upon finishing, I swore off any of the other titles in the trilogy, and then I found myself taking in Throat.
      I hope that you find this title as entertaining as I have.
