Publisher's summary

With two street gangs on the brink of war, Detective Michael Kelly must solve a murder before the entire town goes up in flames.

Boston Homicide Detective Michael Kelly just took his latest case. It seemed simple enough: A convenience store clerk gunned down in cold blood.

There’s just one catch...the store was under the protection of the Irish mob.

Now the city is a powder-keg, and Kelly must solve the murders before it explodes in further bloodshed.

Brian Shea has served as both a military officer and law enforcement Detective. His authentic crime fiction novels have been enjoyed by countless readers around the world. Recommended for fans of Michael Connolly’s Harry Bosch, David Baldacci’s John Puller, and James Patterson’s Alex Cross.

A really, really good cop thriller!

In my view Bleeding Blue is the very best of all of Brian Shea novels. The protagonist Boston homicide detective Mile Kelly lives an interesting and complicated life. The final hour of the novel after the crime is resolved is used by the author to delve into more of Kelly's interesting background. Kelly finds out he was adopted and that his biological parents are a young Irish nun and Boston's top crime boss. Keep novels in this series coming!

Not as good as Killer List

Characters were not as well formed and story line was slow. Not bad, just not as good as I had hoped.

could use a different narrator

Overall the story was good. The narration left a little to be desired. The tone and voice quality kept changing throughout the telling of the story. At times it sounded like there were two different people telling the story. This would get kind of annoying at times. Story itself was good. Enough to make me purchase the next in this series.

Good book! Easy to follow.

This was a good and suspenseful book. I was a little bit disappointed in the end of the book but it was still enjoyable book to read.

SHOULD HAVE ENDED SOONER

Audiobook was about an hour too long and included material near the end that was irrelevant to the mystery and quite tedious. It turned a good story into an average one. Not recommended.
