Publisher's Summary
In 1999, Emmon Bodfish was murdered in his home in the wealthy enclave of Orinda, California, just east of San Francisco. For the young crime-scene analyst Paul Holes, it quickly became the most bizarre and surprising case of his storied career.
It was immediately clear how Emmon had died: by being hit over the head with a heavy object. What wasn’t clear was who did it and why. Each clue was like a doorway to an expanding labyrinth of leads—leads involving pagan ceremonies, stolen artwork, a mysterious disease, an elusive shoe pattern, entomology, a blue demon, a family inheritance, an enigmatic child, a struggle for identity, and passages written in a secret language throughout two decades of Emmon’s diaries.
No matter how deep Paul went into the tunnels of the mystery, the shape-shifting shadow of Emmon’s antagonist stayed just out of reach. Paul had never faced anything like it. He became obsessed with solving it. For himself and for Emmon.

Kept me hooked!
Very sad story. Filled with twists and turns and learnt a few things along the way too! Fascinating and kept me hooked right through.

well produced but underwhelming storyline
Well produced. Overall the storyline was disappointing and seemed to dwell on the facts that this was a tale of a person who was transgender and followed a pagan religion even though these things didn't really contribute much to solving the crime.

Book title well chosen
Theme did not resonate with me.
I found the slow progress frustrating. Description of the detective process was interesting enough.
Well narrated.

No conclusion!
Annoyingly long-winded with no satisfactory conclusion. It had promise but didn't deliver. I lost interest.

Don't expect a resolution. Disappointing.
I kind of hung in there to see how it was solved. I'm left hanging.

Awful!
I love listening and learning from Jim Clemente, so was really looking forward to this.
However, the story dragged on and on, going nowhere.
Paul Holes is very boring to listen to.
Disappointed

Unnecessary story
once the crime has been detailed just turn it off. The rest is speculation
