You might think that a guy with the name of Steve Jobz would be one lucky man. That he'd be rich and have the world at his fingertips. But instead, Jobz is barely making ends meet at the New York State Department of Unemployment Insurance Fraud. A former cop who was forced to retire early after shooting a young man of color during a convenience store holdup, Jobz has since resigned himself to wasting away his days in a four-by-four cubicle inside an office space that's more boring than watching the paint dry. But when his overbearing boss calls him in on a job that the Albany Police Department is heading up, Jobz has a chance to get out of the office for a while. But what he doesn't realize is that he's about to come face to face with a serial killer who embalms his victims alive. What he is also about to face down, is his own worst nightmare come true when that serial killer turns out not to be a stranger.

The Ebalmer is my first read from Vincent Zandri and I was not dissapointed. This was a great who-done-it told from multiple perspectives. It allowed the reader to understand the thoughts and actions of the characters. Narrator Andrew Wehrlen did a great job bringing the story to life with distinct character voices that were easy to understand and follow. I am looking forward to more from this Author & Narrator!!

Thrilling!!!

Great narration of an exciting, suspenseful mystery. Steve Jobz works for an insurance fraud company but is drawn into something far more sinister.

The Embalmer is not What He Seems to be

Where does The Embalmer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I've read probably thousands and this one is up there in one of my favorite crime books now!

What other book might you compare The Embalmer to and why?

I would compare it to Konraths Jack Daniels series. It has the grit of hardened detectives with the Greyson's addition of a psychopathic and dangerous serial killer.

Which scene was your favorite?

I always love the opening scenes of books, they give a broad statement as to what I will be reading. In this case the witness who found the dead lady while he was jogging in the park was my favorite. The fact that he touched her and was honest enough to consider asking her out on a date not knowing she was dead set the stage for a great book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole book did! Knowing these things like unemployment scans are real. I think the one thing that moved me was when the man came home to his morbidly obese wife. The feelings of sadness and disgust was very real.

A creepy serial killer!

I enjoyed this story, but had a hard time with the narration, not that it was poor but I believe it was the same narrator for the Chase Baker series and I had trouble separating the two initially. Once it got going though it became it's own entity. A very good mystery, so Steve Jobz (poor guy) bumbles through his job dealing with unemployment/disability claims. As an ex cop he is happy to go through the motions until a detective searches him out to help with a case. Women are being embalmed alive and posed as dolls for discovery. Believing there is a link between the killer and disability claims he has Jobz join the investigation. I enjoy Vincent Zandri and am interested to see where the series goes. I will probably head off to buy the next one to see what kind of shenanigans Jobz gets up to. I received a free review copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Enjoyable murder mystery
