About this listen

Three dead bodies. A mountain of lies. Will the hunt for a killer turn fatal?

Private Investigator Carlos Jacobi wants to spend time in London with his girlfriend, and his favorite pooch. But, after recovering stolen puppies to smash a dog-theft ring, he’s still upset that the mastermind escaped, when he gets a call about strange fatalities in Leicester. And with the victims’ wives asking for help, he allows himself to be roped into investigating a possible triple murder.

Buried in half-clues and conflicting evidence, Carlos struggles to provide a link to reveal the obscure motive behind the deaths. And as he tracks the elusive perpetrator, the haunted investigator finds himself on the wrong end of a brutal beating, meant to throw him off the trail.

Can the clever sleuth untangle a web of corruption, before he’s ensnared in a deadly trap?

The Bradgate Park Murders is the twisty second book in the Carlos Jacobi private eye series. If you like determined detectives, jaw-dropping surprises, and detailed investigative work, you’ll love Dawn Brookes’s latest book.

This second book in the Carlos Jacobi series starts with him investigating a case of dognapping. Then he is hired to look into the murders of 3 men in a lonely tourist spot. He once again teams up with police sergeant, Fiona, and is helped by his fabulous dog, Lady, a springer spaniel.

The book is fast paced with plenty of twists and kept me guessing to the end. Carlos is a great character, and after first meeting him in the authors Cruise series, he now feels like an old friend.

Tim Bruce's narration is perfect for the book. Now looking forward to the publication of Book 3.

Carlos and Lady are back!

Carlos Jacobi is a very likeable character and also Lady his faithful companion (springer spaniel) he is a private detective and does have a very good friend Fiona in the police force, they get on well and very often get to work together. He has just finished one of his cases a dog napping ring but did fail to get the top man but Carlos is not the type of person to let go easily.
This time he has been hired by 3 women whose husbands have been murdered. Trying to solve this is a bit hit and miss for our detective and with Fiona and Lady, he does get a bit of help even if Fiona & Carlos use each other as sounding boards.
This is the 2nd Carlos book well written and the narration by Tim Bruce is always a pleasure to listen to, such a comforting voice.
I'm sure there will be a 3rd book in this series.

A second outing for Carlos Jacobi, the P.I. who we first encounter in the “cruise” series by the same author. He is joined again in this book by his friend and ally Fiona, a detective sergeant in the police. Again, Carlos is ably assisted by his faithful and talented springer spaniel, Lady.
I was hooked in from the start of this book as the dog napping ring story was something different and exciting. As I know Bradgate Park very well, I could picture the landmarks in my mind as I was listening to the story unfold.
The narration was clear and pleasant to listen to. A thoroughly enjoyable read and I look forward to book 3.

Exciting and original

I listened to this audio whilst I carried on with my day job and I really enjoyed it!
The setting is relatively familiar to me and the initial investigation of Carlos piqued my interest straight away.
I like his friendship with Fiona and was good to see her taking the lead as SIO.
Looking forward to hearing the next one very much.

Another great episode following PI Carlos.

Not only does it feature wonderful characters who I am in love with it also always gives a nod to my favourite crime solver on the sea as well which always makes me smile. I love this series and I’m sitting on the edge of my seat now waiting for the next one!
