Synopsis

Europe is stunning in the summer . . . but NYPD detective Jacob Kanon isn't there for the beauty. He's on a mission: to track down his daughter's killer.
NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him-he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer.
Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.
Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm-and they think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless twists and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson's most vivid and compelling thriller yet.

From AudioFile:

Someone is killing young and the beautiful couples all over Europe. Katherine Kellgren, Erik Singer, and Reg Rogers bring all the terror and excitement to life with a dizzying array of accents from the European nations and a conversational skill that moves the story along quickly and seamlessly. Their delivery makes the listener fully relate to New York detective Jack Kanon, who is obsessed with bringing his daughter's killers to justice. Kanon and a Swedish reporter figure out the pattern and the meaning of the sinister postcards that are sent to reporters after each killing. Kellgren, Singer, and Rogers speak with such authority and passion that the book seems frighteningly real. M.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
