The May Day Murders
Scott Wittenburg
Read by Scott Wittenburg
The autumnal tranquility of Smithtown, Ohio is shattered when Dr. David Bradley arrives home to find that his wife has been raped and murdered by an intruder who has left no clues behind except the words “May Day” painted in lipstick on his victim’s body. When the police later learn that another Smithtown resident has been raped and strangled in her New York City apartment, it becomes frighteningly clear that a cunning serial killer targeting Smithtown women is on the prowl.
Newspaper reporter Sam Middleton is determined to help Detective Roger Hagstrom track down the assailant of his ex-wife’s best friend. Sam can only hope that his estranged wife and teenage daughter are out of harm's way living hours away in the Columbus suburb of Woodcrest. One terrifying question continues to gnaw at Sam as the mystery unfolds: Who will the killer’s next victim be?

Excellent book and well read, good to read/hear some character development along side a good plot in the book which is not very common in these type of books.
Really good story, once you get into it...

I agree with some of the other reviews concerning the Author's speech rate. It was a little fast and he didn't change his voice enough to distinguish between male and female characters. BUT that being said, once you get involved in the story, it's a really good mystery story. Well done, Scott!!

Just when you think you've figured out which way the story line is beginning to twist, it sends you for a loop! Definitely has me wanting to listen to more crime novels on my long drives! Brovo!

Thanks for an enjoyable listen! The story was well written and performed. Its the kind of mystery where it's the journey, not necessarily the destiantion that counts. We know "who done it", but how and why were enough motivation to keep the story interesting. And personally, I appreciate when an ...

I liked evrything about this story except the abominal stereotyping of women and men. It was so bad that I had to stop listening part way through. Older, married man sleeps with younger, hot, slutty woman and the older married wife of the older man doesn't want to sleep with ...

I thought the story was well put together. The twist with the villain was well thought out. I sort of knew who the last victim would be about part way through. Excellent podcast altogether. I can't wait to see more. I will definitely pick up the book for my library.

I was somewhat enjoying the podcast until that incredibly racist and stereotypical comment was made about a Black character. Very shameful. I will never listen to your podcasts again.
