“Terrific entertainment.... A powerful portrait of Los Angeles in our time: swift, colorful, gripping, a real knockout.” (Dean Koontz)
The day starts like any other in LA. The sun burns hot as the Santa Ana winds blow ash from mountain fires to coat the glittering city. But for Private Investigator Joe Pike, the city will never be the same again. His ex-lover, Karen Garcia, is dead, brutally murdered with a gun shot to the head.
Now, Karen's powerful father calls on Pike (a former cop) and his partner, Elvis Cole, to keep an eye on the LAPD as they search for his daughter's killer - because in the luminous City of Angels, everyone has secrets, and even the mighty blue have something to hide.
But what starts as a little procedural hand-holding turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse. For a dark web of conspiracy threatens to destroy Pike and Cole's 12-year friendship - if not their lives. And LA just might be singing their dirge.

Exceptional reading

LA Requiem, though not the first in the 'Elvis Cole' novels was the first I listened to/read and I was immediately hooked. I've since read every book in this series and have never been disappointed.
I was disappointed however with this particular audio version of LA Requiem. The version I originally listened to and enjoyed was borrowed from the local library. Recorded Books is the name of the company that produced that version and the narrator, Ron McLarty did an outstanding job. In fact it was his reading that helped pull me into the story. He has a gift for making each character real; its quite easy for the listener to get caught-up in the story. If you listen to both versions You will have no problem in seeing the difference in the narration style.
Great book (5 Stars), bad narrator(2 stars)!

Where does L.A. Requiem rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
If you like this type of detective story, it ranks very high with other books of this type. As I have read all of Robert B. Parker's stories, I needed something similar for light reading who-done-its. This series is fun, action packed and not too heavy of a story. The characters are very believable for the time period in which it is set in L. A. area.What was one of the most memorable moments of L.A. Requiem?
Finding out the history of Joe Pike was most interesting part of the story.What does John Bedford Lloyd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Lloyd's reading does set the mood for the story better than just reading it. You would loose some of the detail of the culture if it were just read from the book.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Do the good guys always win?Any additional comments?
I would recommend the entire series of these stories. It would be better if you started with the first book and read the series in roughly the order they are written. If you like the L. A. area or are curious about the culture during the time period of the stories, these books have a good historical perspective as well.Excellent Spenser type stories

Evis shows that his friends mean everything to him and he goes to the wall to save Joe.
it was abridged-- wish it was unabridged. but worth it.
