There was something heavy in the bag. SOMETHING DEAD.



There was no escaping the heat and humidity. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agent Danny Carlisle sat in her car, the air conditioner running. It was not the Florida-like weather on this Minnesota morning that was keeping her in her car. It was not the piles of garbage that lined the streets, remnants of a just-ended strike, although the odor that hung in the air was part of it. What made Danny hesitate was a specific bag of garbage to her right, inside a tent, the contents of which was about to ruin her day.



But what Danny didn’t know as she procrastinated, was that the sweltering weather would soon be gone. What she didn’t know was that what awaited her inside the tent would be gruesome beyond her imagination, an almost unimaginable display of cruelty. What she didn’t know was that as much as this would challenge her senses, it would pale in comparison to other events that were about to change her life.

About the author

C.E. Nelson

24 books45 followers
Chuck (C.E.) Nelson is an avid angler and author of three highly rated murder mystery series.

The Trask Brothers Murder Mystery Series follows the exploits of Dave and Don Trask, identical twin brothers in law enforcement, as they chase down killers across Minnesota and beyond. Like the author, the brothers love to fish, and you'll usually find a few fishing tidbits in each book.

The Edge of Winter and Kill Six comprise the Danny Carlisle mystery series to date. Carlisle has appeared in Trask Brother's books and is a headstrong independent agent from Duluth, Minnesota, likely to get herself in more than a little bit of trouble.

Peter 'Doc' Hunter is the protagonist in Angry Sins. Doc is a BCA agent who is working on becoming a professional golfer when his day job doesn't get in the way. Doc is a good golfer - the author, not so much.

Nelson resides in Minnesota and has a cabin in Canada where he feeds his angling needs and ponders his next story.

All of his books can be found at www.cenelsonbooks.com.

Thanks for reading!

it was narrated by ai, and was the worst narration ever. it made the book very boring. it was hard to get through. it may have been better with a real narrator.

Two Wrongs (Danny Carlise Murder Mystery #4) by C.E. Nelson
.
2 cases to solve and one is hitting way to close to home. Jeff's sister has been kidnapped is Danny to close to the case to figure it out? Or is she more determined? Black trash bags with body parts are not helping the situation either. Who is murdering people and cutting them up? What connection does it all have to her and her partner? Now that the wedding planner has gone missing, is the wedding still going to happen?

It was an interesting read/listen, except the computer generated narration was a handicap to the story.
