A MEASURE OF DARKNESS Clay Edison, Book 2

Narrator Dennis Boutsikaris takes the listener through the ups and downs of this police procedural. The father-and-son author team give us the second in the series featuring Alameda County coroner's deputy Clay Edison. Called into investigate a number of deaths of young people resulting from a party in Oakland gone out of control. Boutsikaris is a great match for Clay, who comes across as appealing and genuinely wanting to do the right thing (except when his brother is around). The quick back-and-forth conversations without dialogue tags--along with the large cast of characters, the amount of detail, and the lack of real tension--make this a somewhat challenging listen.
