About this listen

From the award-winning author of Chimeras

The line between hunter and hunted is about to blur.

Dubbed the Byzantine Strangler because of the mysterious mosaic tiles he leaves at the crime scene, a new serial killer is stalking the streets of Los Angeles. Racing to decipher the code encrypted in the tiles before the killer strikes again, Detective Track Presius faces a new challenge: the "awakened" genes that make his vision and olfactory sense so sharp are now taking a toll on his life. When a new set of tiles appears in his own backyard, Track makes a chilling realization: those very same genes that are threatening his life are drawing the Byzantine Strangler closer and closer. The line between hunter and hunted has suddenly blurred. Will Track be the next piece of the mosaic puzzle?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Track Presius. The plot is fast paced, unusual and intriguing, the murders gruesome and bizarre. But the strangest of all is the main detective, a man named Presius, who investigates not so much by looking for clues as, literally, sniffing them out. What a joy! A truly visceral engagement leaps out to the reader as he roots through the crime scenes absorbing the smells, inhaling the evidence.

How could the performance have been better?

The slow presentation is easily solved by simply bumping up the speed by one notch which in no way diminishes Mr. Fenaughty's fine voice. But his reading is far more difficult to overcome. His is a very strange performance. All of the conversation is perfectly executed but the text in between is dire as if reading comes hard to him and this is his first sight of the book. His voice cracks, he sometimes stumbles over words and, just occasionally, mispronounces them. But the worst part is his phrasing, constantly stopping at inappropriate points of the sentence, for example, "the dull and grey colour (PAUSE) of the walls..." or "Parker (PAUSE) Centre".. If this was happening only rarely it wouldn't matter but it is so frequent that it completely distracted me from the storyline and I had to pull my mind away from the oddity of his narration to return to Presius's world.

Any additional comments?

E.E.Giorgi is a masterful storyteller. It says much about Mosaics that I was so involved with the story and intent on following it through, that I continued to the end despite my irritation with the narrator. I highly recommend this book but get the written version not the audio unless you are looking for a really difficult and quirky listen.

I received this book as a aift. Thank you.
