FAIR WARNING (Jack McEvoy #3) (audiobook) by Michael Connelly




Published in May of 2020 by Little, Brown and Company.
Read by Peter Giles and Zach Villa.
Duration: 10 hours, 20 minutes.
Unabridged.


This is the third book in a very slowly unfolding series featuring journalist Jack McEvoy - 25 years in the making so far.

Jack McEvoy started out the series as a reporter in Colorado who discovered a serial killer and stopped him. 15 years later, he is a reporter who is being let go as part of a series of layoffs from the LA Times and he discovers a serial killer and stops him. Now, 10 years later, he is working for a news website called Fair Warning and he once again discovers a serial killer. Interestingly, Fair Warning was an actual real-life news site when this book was written. A controversy in 2021 caused it to disband

The story starts out with McEvoy being questioned because he happened to have gone on one date nearly a year ago with a recent murder victim. They found his name on the contact list on her phone and the lead detective recognized his name from a story about a corrupt cop a few years back and decided to question him.

McEvoy starts to look into the unusual way she died and finds a number of similar deaths across the country and suspects that there is another serial killer involved...

I am not as fond of the McEvoy books as I am of Connelly's Harry Bosch series. I find McEvoy to be a less sympathetic character - to the point of being unlikable. Plus, going back to the serial killer well for a third time was just too much for me.

The audiobook features a 20 minute interview with the real editor of the Fair Warning news site (he is also a character in the book) by Michael Connelly. It was worth listening to.

I rate this audiobook 3 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: FAIR WARNING (Jack McEvoy #3) by Michael Connelly.
