About this listen
Murder: Live and in Technicolor
Working undercover allows FBI Art Crime Team agent Jason West the illusion of safety as he investigates the supposed discovery of a legendary lost 1950s private eye movie known as Snowball in Hell. But the complicated relationship between film preservation and piracy is nothing to preserving the delicate balance of Jason's ongoing relationship with BAU Chief Sam Kennedy.
Sam is hunting the man hunting Jason, and until Dr. Jeremy Kyser is caught, the possibility of a real relationship between Sam and Jason has to be put on pause.
Then Jason learns of another legendary lost flick, the subject darker than any film noir, and he's drawn into the secret, sinister world of snuff films. A world where the line between fantasy and felony—a line as thin and deadly as a strand of piano wire—means the difference between life and death.

So good
Loved every minute of this next chapter for Sam and Jason. It's not the end of the story (and I was glad I knew that already from other reviews - thank you!), but well written and gripping, and the characters so well drawn. Perfectly read by Kale Williams. A class act.

Wow !
Love this series and love this narrator. Have been waiting ages for this follow on, and it's was well worth the wait. It has all the elements needed to tantalize and titiltate, speculate and satisfy the cases in progress. Book 6 is in the works so expected nothing to be finally cleared up here, just enjoyed the ride.
VERY ENJOYABLE

What a massive disappointment 😞
The quality of Josh Lanyon's output has been faultering for some years now, but I keep giving her the benefit of the doubt and buy her audios, hoping she'll return to her glory days. But alas, this book is another disappointment and I feel cheated.
For a start, the title has nothing to do with the content. She's taken huge liberties even using the plural 'murders' . West spends the whole book deciding whether a death was murder. This involves massive chunks of info dumping dressed up as his internal monologue about the history of movies. It sounds like it was cut and pasted from elsewhere to beef up the word count. I wanted a tight, gritty murder mystery, not a few chapters of a history book shoed into the storyline. Therefore, nothing much happens. We're introduced to a bunch of pointless undeveloped characters, who are questioned about the possible murder, a couple of older characters are mentioned and other storylines are hinted at. The relationship with Sam developing at a snails pace.
The audiobook ends abruptly making me wonder 'Seriously, is that it?'.
I cannot fault Kale Williams narration, but I feel for him having to read this hash of a book. No, I'm not invested enough in these characters to be bothered anymore.
