Triple Cross Killer

State Detective Special Forces Series, Book 1

De: Rosemarie Aquilina

Narrado por: Daniela Acitelli

What happens to all of the letters that kids send to Santa Claus through the US mail? In Detroit, Michigan, many of them end up in the hands of Chris Archer, a postal worker who spends his free time designing computer games and uses the children’s wish lists to help detect trends in the toy market.

No harm done until Chris’ brother, Nick Archer, the religiously obsessed, dishonorably discharged fighter pilot and victim of childhood abuse, discovers them and finds out who’s really been naughty and who’s been nice. Possessed of a messiah complex, Nick turns into a charming and athletic serial killer leaving a trail of devastation in two cities, Detroit and Sarasota, connected only by the commercial route he now flies for Delta.

It takes a team of oddballs to bring Nick down. On the Detroit side, there are the co-ed partners and wise-cracking lovers, Jaq McSween and David Maxwell, accompanied by their dog, Recon. On the Sarasota side, there is the Argentinian with the taste for American hot dogs, Abel Mendoza, and his partner who goes simply by Rabbit on account of his ability to hide in a crowd, create his own burrow, and investigate unnoticed. There is the lovely nurse, Rita Rose, who has been damaged by a mendacious lover before and is now caught in Nick Archer’s web in more ways than one, and her fearless higher-up, the reserved yet incisive medical examiner, Dr. Towers.

Two teams of odd-ball detectives discover the truth, but can they outmaneuver Nick's obsessive, military-trained mind and stop him in time before he kills again and someone they love dies?

WOW!

My name is Kate Romero and I am reviewing this audiobook from my husband's account. I am a huge fan pf Rosemarie Aquilina in general. That said; I treated myself to her audio-book Triple Cross Killer to listen to while I get my steps in every day for my fit bit. The imaginative and incredibly believable story line, the characters, the tension, the visuals, the knowing messages I felt from my own past kept me so engaged I don't know if I was breathing at some points. As I walked and listened in my neighborhood and at my gym, I found myself gasping, shrieking, and laughing because I was so involved that I forgot where I was and what I was doing. I want this book to be a TV Series. Netflix, HBO, Showtime...somewhere! The character Rita Rose and her lover Nick Archer ran the gamete of every toxic relationship I've ever been in. So delicious and intense in the beginning with all of the same kinds of twists and turns. I happen to be married to the world's best husband now, and thanks to this compelling and well written book, if I were to ever (God forbid) date again, I would see the red flags in a narcissist or psychopath like a fireworks show and look for the nearest exit to get away from them. I am so very sad that I have finished this book. The one thing I can do while I wait for the next one is to listen to it all over again. YUM! WHAT A STORY!

Tiple Cross Killer

This was an excellent book!The story revolves around a murderer using Santas letters, from the post office ,to peg his victims.The characters were well written and likable,or hatable.lol Daniela Acitelli is a fine narrator, for the most part.As long as she is reading ,she is fine,some accents are hard to listen to though.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

very good book

i loved it, was very good to listen to and a good story! I think it should be made into a movie. well done

Most hateful villain!

Received bonus code for honest review. Excellent story, narrator seemed to struggle with some characters.

It took me a long time to get pulled in.

This is not a bad book, but it took a long time for me to get interested in the story. the characters were bland and the one nickname pissed me off every time I heard it. The narrator was also terrible at accents.

The characters will live on

I loved how I got to know the characters enough to want to follow them into the next chapter of their lives. A good story about life interlacing the good and bad human behavior.

"Excellent Read"

I highly recommend! This book is very well written and keeps your interest. Judge Aquilina did an excellent job creating an emotional connection between the reader and characters.

great thriller!

I couldn't stop listening to this!
A unique story with non-stop action and lovable characters!

Sex

For me this book had way more sex than story line was not the type of book was interested in reading did not finish This was a free Book from Autoboom

A Complex Thriller with Lots of Suspense

Triple Cross Killer is a rich, well-crafted thriller with plenty of suspense. I especially enjoyed the teams of characters. All the main characters are well-developed and real, but they each have enough quirkiness and unique qualities to make them interesting.

A major plus for me is the members of protagonist-side experience tension with each other, but deep-down they like and respect one another. They are loyal. Nick—the antagonist—is so real I want to kick him. He is handsome and charming and evil. A perfect package for a bad guy.

The story premise is interesting and complex enough, without being confusing. An all-round good read. Can’t wait for Book 2.
