BLOOD IN THE WATER

This is the 27th murder mystery in the series featuring Armenian-American crime consultant Gregor Demarkian. Narrator David Colacci does his best to enliven the deliberately dull and boring murder suspects in a way that engages listeners. It’s a difficult task because the characters are as pretentious and bland as the gated community in which they live. Two bodies, one burned beyond recognition, are found in the community center of Windsor Pines, outside Philadelphia. The story meanders from one obnoxious resident to the next until the crime is solved by the cerebral Demarkian. Colacci does a creditable job portraying each flawed character.
