A beautiful college student is killed in Audubon Park - just a few feet away from St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans. There were no witnesses. The case is handed to newly minted detective, Elizabeth Silverman. It isn't long before Elizabeth realizes there are multiple people who had an incentive to murder the young woman. Elizabeth is in over her head on this one, but she has a secret weapon - legendary detective Donald "Sleepy" Carter. But, there is one catch, everyone at the New Orleans Police Department believes Sleepy Carter is dead - and that's exactly the way Elizabeth and Sleepy like it.

5,0 su 5 stelle Sleepy is not Sleeping Anymore!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 marzo 2024
Acquisto verificato
I started this series about two weeks ago, and it did not disappoint! I have literally been trying to drag out finishing books because I can't wait for the next book in the series. I am engaged and I am invested. Sleepy Carter is a man of mystery, cloaked in mystery. You learn more about him each conversation with Lizzy, but you are at times left confused and wanting more. That is what I love most about this book and series. You get to know Sleepy in pieces while he makes everyone else's life an open book, it is intriguingly frustrating and exciting. I feel like I identify with Lizzy in wanting the answers, yet wanting to learn how to solve the crimes to be a better detective. I was surprised who the killer was, and yet when it was explained by Sleepy felt like I should have known LOL! This is a book and series worth investing your time.

Rookie Detective Lizzie Silverman is assigned the case of a beautiful college student murdered at Audubon Park (New Orleans) one dark night - no witnesses, but several people would have either motive or occasion, or both.
As if Lizzie had not enough on her plate with this case and her condescending, chauvinistic partner, she has also taken it upon herself to secretly work on the cold case that is her own parents' death of 10 years ago: They died in a car crash that Lizzie herself sees as murder.

But then, help appears from an unexpected source: A homeless man introduces himself to Lizzie as legendary detective Sleepy Carter.
Lizzie knows him from pictures at the police department and from what older members of the police force have told her: Sleepy solved the "unsolvable" cases and even assisted the FBI, until one day he suddenly disappeared. Most believe him dead, the victim of one of the many criminals he helped convict.
There he is, very much alive and kicking, but for reasons he chooses to keep to himself he wants everybody but Lizzie to continue believing him dead and gone. She lets him stay in her garage while he helps her solve the murder at the park.

As this book was labeled 1st in a series, I did not expect each and every question to be answered, and it wasn't. But the principal case is solved, and I did not guess the solution until the end. The story is written in a way that makes you wabt to know what happens next, and keep reading. Some conversations and scenes are a bit drawn out (read: lengthy) when it is not really necessary, although the overall book is fairly short.
There is a lot of New Orleans "feel" about the book; I guess a reader who has been there (I have not) will enjoy that.
Most of the writing is correct in terms of grammar etc., but there is one recurring mistake that became more annoying every time I came across it:
The book says "pass" when it should be "past", nearly every time but once or twice (not that I counted!). For example, "she walked pass him" or "they drove pass the scene" - sorry, Mr. Smith, that is wrong, even though it may sound just like that when an American says "she walked past him" or "they drove past the scene".

It was the first time I read anything by this author. Brian W. Smith has written around 20 novels and some non-fiction, and I guess someone at some stage (his editor?) told him the difference between pass and past. They must have done, because from his website I learn that "he serves as an Adjunct Professor of Creative Writing, at two colleges in the Dallas, Texas area."

The Audubon Park Murder is Brian W. Smith's first mystery novel and the first installment of the Sleepy Carter Series. Donald "Sleepy" Carter is a veteran detective who seemingly dropped off of the face of the earth ten years prior. Sleepy was a legend in his own right, solving murder cases unsolvable by other detectives on the force. So skilled that he was able to train other departments and assist the FBI in unsolved cases. While his disappearance is a mystery, it isn't the main whodunnit in the novel.

This story centers around Lizzy Silverman, rookie detective whose parents were killed in a fiery crash years earlier. She has vowed to solved her parents cold case and become a top notch detective solving murders. Along the way she has to battle her chauvinistic, bigoted, self-servicing male counterparts - like her seasoned partner, Farrington. She finds an unlikely ally the long-vanished Sleepy, who suddenly appears on her back doorstep.

The ride they are about to take was suspenseful enough to keep me turning pages to see if I could solve the case before it was all laid out for me. I didn't, by the way. I have already downloaded the second book (A Murder in the Quarter's) and plan to read that soon.

I am a BWS fan, and while this book is grammatically more correct and has less developmental errors than some of his other novels I've read, I do think this series is going to take some time to get used to since I am accustomed to style of his other works.

It’s a good mystery that successfully fooled me while still having all the clues. The characters are interesting, particularly Sleepy. As a white man reading this story it made me pause and reflect more deeply on race relations, about how even well meaning people can be inadvertently rude or trigger racial pain - but the story eloquently portrays the issue without preaching or making all white people the problem. It’s a good author that both entertains and elevates! I will get the other Sleepy Carter books and read them too. Well done.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 luglio 2013

There's a Murder in Audubon Park... Don't Worry Donald "Sleepy" Carter is on the case... Then again... Is he really on the case? According to the people that know him - He's missing or worse... Dead.

Years ago, Donald "Sleepy" Carter decided to walk away from his job as a well-respected detective and just life in general. No one has heard from him since. After a murder is committed in Audubon Park, Sleepy decides to come out of hiding to help Rookie Detective, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Silverman solve the murder. There's a catch - No one can know he's alive.

Why is Donald "Sleepy" Carter so adamant about helping Lizzy solve this crime? Why should Lizzy trust a man she doesn't know? What is the real reason Sleepy Carter has come out of hiding? Well... I have the answers and so will you when you read this book.

When Brian W. Smith first announced he was throwing his "writing hat" in the Mystery genre I wasn't shocked because his other books have mystery twists to them. So it was a No-Brainer that he started writing in the Mystery genre.

The Audubon Park Murder reminded me why I'm such a big Brian W. Smith supporter. You can tell Mr. Smith did his research when it came to giving his readers an inside look in New Orleans. Mr. Smith does an excellent job capturing the raw emotions of Sleepy Carter. He's definitely a character I can't wait to learn more about.

The Audubon Park Murder is a fast-paced story full of twists and turns.
