THE EDGAR AWARD-WINNING NOVEL
THE FIRST KATE MARTINELLI MYSTERY
In Laurie R. King's Grave Talent, the unthinkable has happened in a small community outside of San Francisco. A series of shocking murders has occurred, the victims far too innocent and defenseless. For Detective Kate Martinelli, just promoted to Homicide and paired with a seasoned cop who's less than thrilled to be handed a green partner, it's a difficult case that just keeps getting harder.
Then the detectives receive what appears to be a case-breaking lead: it seems that one of the residents of this odd colony is Vaun Adams, arguably the century's greatest woman painter and a notorious felon once convicted of a heinous crime.
But what really happened eighteen years ago? To bring a murderer to justice, Kate must delve into the artist's dark past—even if it means losing everything she holds dear.

Having read all but one Mary Russel novels I need a new mystery. This fit the bill nicely. Great characters and strong plot. It's modern take on the detective procedural. If you liked the Mary Russell novels you should not miss the Kate Martinelli series.
Good story,Good partners, Great start!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
YES. I AM PICKY ABOUT MY MYSTERY NOVELS BUT AM WILLING TO CUT SLACK FOR FIRST NOVEL WRITERS. HOWEVER, THE MOST EGREGIOUS SIN OF THE GENRE IS TO TURN THE CLIMAX INTO AN IMPLAUSIBLE SCENARIO. THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS WERE TERRIBLE. BOTH IN PLOT AND WRITING.. I WAS VERY DISAPOINTED WIITH THE CHEESE-Y AND TOTALLY IMPROBABLE SCENARIO SET UP TOWARDS THE END..What do you think your next listen will be?
I THINK I AM GOING BACK TO THE CLASSICS. MAYBE DOYLE OR SAYERS. OR SOME NON-FICTION.Have you listened to any of Alyssa Bresnahan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
YES. I WISH YOU HAD HER AGE OF INNOCENCE BY EDITH WHARTON. SHE IS FANTASTIC. ONE OF THE TOP 5 NARRATORS IN MY EXPERIENCE. ACTUALLY IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS THE READER THAT I CHOSE THIS BOOK-- AS A FRIEND IS VERY FOND OF LAURIE R KING AND SUGGESTED I T RY IT AS AN AUDIO.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
HMMM. IF THE SCREEN WRITER CLEANED UP THE LAST SECTIONS OF THE BOOK. MADE THE ACTION TIGHTER AND MORE BELIEVABLE. WITH A GOOD SCREENWRITER, DIRECTOR AND CAST PICKS IT WOULD MAKE A GOOD THRILLER. WOULD IT BE SET IN THE PRESENT OR TAKE IT BACK TO THE LATE 80'S. THE SAN FRANCISCO OF TODAY IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE AIDS EPIDEMIC, FEMALES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, ETC.Any additional comments?
I AM SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL REALLY ENJOY THIS BOOK JUST BECAUSE THE READER IS EXCELLENT. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE 2 DETECTIVES IS GREAT UNTIL THE END WHEN THAT ANGLE FIZZLES. I JUST HAPPEN TO BE PICKY ABOUT THE MYSTERIES IN WHICH I INVEST MY TIME.I KNOW ONE SUSPENDS BELIEF, BUT TO THEN BE ASKED TO SUSPEND IT AGAIN FOR THE TAIL END, WELL THAT'S JUST SLOPPY EDITING. HOWEVER, IT IS A FIRST NOVEL.EDGAR AWARD FIRST NOVEL DAZZELS BUT IS A BIT DATED

I really liked the story and characters, although the overused plot device of “our hero must keep the victim in her own home in order to trap the villain” has never made any sense to me - and this was no exception.
Looking forward to more books in the series!
Not the best choice of narrator, but that is fixable
