Summary
How do you catch a killer who's already behind bars?
Thomas Austin was once a prominent NYPD detective, known for locking up a psychopathic serial killer dubbed "The Holiday Baby Butcher". Now retired in a small beach town in the Pacific Northwest, Austin runs a little café, trying to overcome the loss of his wife, a DA who was gunned down only one year ago.
But when a mysterious bag of bones appears on a nearby beach, Austin is dragged back into a world he thought he'd left behind. The Holiday Baby Butcher is behind bars, so it has to be a copycat.
But with each new clue, the killer seems closer and closer to the real thing. And when Austin finally learns the truth, it's a twist so shocking it shakes him to his core.
The Bones of Point No Point is the mesmerizing debut crime thriller from D.D. Black, perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan, JD Kirk, and Michael Connelly.

Wow what a listen - absolutely brilliant
Just loved this, so addictive so well written so well narrated. What a dark mind to come up with this plot though, it was amazing but also believable if that makes sense.
I had several late nights whilst listening to this. I cannot wait to read/listen to anything more by this combination of author and narrator.

"A burnt toast taste of dread."
A killer who'd stolen and murdered babies. The man who'd put her in prison then left the police and New York, moving into the sticks to run a cafe and sell fishing bait. And then the killing started again
First in a new series featuring Thomas Austin, a recently widowed ex detective with a taste affliction which mirrors his emotions, this is one to look out for into the future.
Excellently performed by narrator Joe Hempel, this well written thriller was intriguing from the opening paragraphs to the very end. Recommended

Brilliant story, excellent narration
This book has all the best of the genre standards. Jaded ex-detective, vicious serial killer, dogged reporter, twists, turns and shocks. Loved the story, great atmosphere and descriptions of Washington state in winter. loved Joe Hempel's narration brought the characters to life. I received a complimentary copy from the narrator and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Brilliant.
I loved this book, It is the first D.D Black I have read and certainly hope it will not be the last. The characters are well developed and the story well written. An ex NYPD detective reluctantly drawn in to a murder and kidnapping 20 years after putting a murderer way discovers too many similarities for it to be coincidence. A Little predictable but exciting edge of the seat stuff from start to finish. All ably rounded of by superb narration by Joe Hempel, this is a definite must listen! **********
Cannot wait for the next installment.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the author and leave this honest and unbiased review. *****

great thriller
I loved the narration of Joe Hempel. perfect for this book. He brought out the action, the characters, making this a great book a great listen.
The story grabbed my attention from the beginning.
Thomas Austin was once a police officer for the NYPD. Now retired and owning a café in a small beach town near Seattle, We have kidnapped baby killer. A copycat. The twists and turns of the clues showed a lot throughout and made it hard to put down
Brilliant story. Looking forward to the book in this series.

Awesome book
I won’t go into the description of the book because it was already done and much better written than I could ever do. I am normally not a crime suspense fan in the books I read. It is a fabulous book. It held my attention and kept me coming back to finish the book. I found it to be awesome! And that goes a long way in what I think about this book. Kept me guessing the whole way through. Now I’m on to his next book. Thank you D.D. Black for the story! You better write fast, I can read a book in one day. I’m your latest fan.
D.D. Black did a fabulous job in writing this book. I was excited to know that it was released on audible so I can work and listen at the same time.
Joe Hempel did a fabulous job in narrating the story. Great voice to listen to.

The bones at point no point
This was an excellent book! What a read! It was so well written,I hope there is not a true basis for this story. A teenage couple find a bag of bones on the beach. The bag is a fancy gift bag.The bones are a baby bones. This killer was locked up already, or was she? Ex cop Thomas Austin is dragged back into this case, though he is retired. Joe Hempel is a terrific narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

New author to me…I liked it.
I did not have extremely high expectations since I read didn’t know the author and I read so many crime books, but it certainly exceeded my expectation. 4 stars PLUS, in my estimation.

Awesome Story and delivery!
Ok- I will admit since I live where this story is written, it’s even better!
But…
After meeting the author at a local market(Kingston) I was looking forward to listening to book 1!
It did NOT disappoint! I’ve been listening to a lot of audio mystery’s - book 1’s of a lot of new authors. This was presented great. It made me jump write into the characters. Even though the story line is a little on the Dark side- he describes in detail in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the reader(listener).
While doing some yard work and some drive time- I was done in 2 days!
Already downloaded book 2!
Highly recommend it!
(Ps. If you do download and like too- let me know what other books you think I would like)

Cameras
I liked the story. Performance was great. But 20 minutes into it I am asking what 21st century new parent with some affluence doesn’t have a dozen cameras on their kid and house all backed up in the cloud. I guess the book would have been about 50 pages so ….ok.
