Publisher's summary

A Twisted Tale of Vengeance

When a spate of sudden deaths occurs amongst the elderly in Ellie's home town, the South Australian ambulance officer grows concerned. After a man purporting to be the relative of one of the deceased who clearly is not moves into the old man’s house, she becomes suspicious. She alerts a local cop, Nick, who takes her concerns seriously.

Nick’s estranged brother, Nam, has a successful security software company in Sydney, as well as other thriving enterprises. The idea of hastening the demise of the elderly and, in turn, freeing up real estate for refugee families in need is Nam’s. But it is far from a pragmatic scheme with a benevolent intent.

Nam’s devoted assistant, Lawrence, oversees Angus and Jarrod, employed to carry out humane euthanasia (quiet end) on the old people who are selected because they have no family members. But Jarrod is a sadist, and not all of the deaths are peaceful. Evidence of this arouses the suspicion of Ellie when she visits some of the postmortem scenes.

It is no accident that Nam has chosen to begin this sordid enterprise in the area where his brother lives and works. Nam’s hatred of Nick runs deep because of a horrific event during their teenage years, and he is hell-bent on revenge. Nam’s all-consuming spite is about to be tested, and he may realize there are more important things in life than vengeance.

Twisted Murders

This is murder to kill old people so to give thier homes and possessions to a family Illegally brought into the country in Australia. Suppose to be merciful deaths, but the killer was not merciful at all. The Narrator does a very good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

whose on first...keep looking

OMG what an adventure in underhanded dubious illegal activity...and OMG was it fun to try to put the pieces together. This was a book with so many characters that were intertwined, at least it seemed so, that it was like looking for the lose thread. That was for me the hook. I was engrossed and engaged in the quirky characters and their abundance of secrets and deceptions that it was almost impossible to blink without pausing this book for fear something might squeak by. I enjoyed this book from the opening lines all the way to the end. Some of it I had figured out correctly some I was a bit off that only made it a better experience. I hope others take the time to enjoy this Australian mystery as I did. It was not a wasted moment.

chilling

These mercy killing were no mercifully done! Disturbing. The ulterior motives for the kills seemed reasonable at first, but in the end , what a toll it cost many. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.
