After a hostile reception from his new partner, DS Royce Locke, Det Sawyer Key settles into life in the Major Crimes Unit at the Savannah PD. As the men tackle murderers, serial killers, blackmailers, and arsonists, they also grow closer romantically and physically.

This police procedural / romance trilogy got better with each book: the cases got more complex and gripping, and Locke & Key’s relationship moved from instalove to a more established falling out and making up dynamic as they cherished each other more and more. I also liked the longer subplot arcs that stretched over the series, especially the police mole and Locke’s best friend’s suicide—they made this trilogy a richer experience. This is Hazard & Somerset lite, there’s some relationship angst and job-related danger, but it’s much less traumatic. Overall, this is a very enjoyable series! 🎧 I’ve spent many, many hours with US voice actor Tristan James and he’s definitely at his best in police procedural romances like these (the series book bundle is currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

Very enjoyable police procedural series!

The narration is spot on. The story process at an even pace and one doesn’t feel lost between the numerous characters this narrator had to perform. Over all a good trilogy to pass the time over coffee and relaxing

Decent listening

I've spent the last week listening to all audios in this series after it came to my attention all 3 were bundled together for the 1 credit on Audible (Bargain!). Having previously read the first 2 in the series, I decided a refresh was needed before listening to Zero Divergence.

Zero Divergence is my fav of the series. Locke & Key's relationship has progressed steadily across the 3 books, Royce is more confident with his relationship with Sawyer and they are SO GOOD together! Enjoyed the mystery/suspense in this instalment, but I would have really loved an epilogue that gives a glimpse into the future for them.

Tristan James is the narrator of the series, he's on my fav list so naturally I enjoyed his performances across all 3 books.

great box set - worth the credit

I started with Sinister in Savannah which is sort of in the middle. I had not realised that the story world started with Locke and Key back in this series. No matter, because it was great to hear this story build the world that leads to the Sinister in Savannah world, and of course introduces the main characters there.
I loved the pace of these stories and just looked forward each day to see what was going to happen next. The focus on the characters beyond the crimes that they are investigating is what endears these stories to me the most. Locke and Key are fantastic characters and I love their emerging relationship alongside their work as detectives.
I am moving onto the next set of Locke and Key books which take place after Sinister in Savannah, and am looking forward to following them on the next part of their journey.
Highly recommended!!!

Loved this series

I came to this having read Ride the Lightning, the first of the Sinister in Savannah series, So I already new about Locke and Key, I already knew they have an off beat dynamic. I've wanted to get to know them since I first read that. Basically Royce Locke and Sawyer Key are sarcasm and sass and fun. If that is your thing than chances are you will enjoy this. The issue I had with the story was the change in the cast. The first book, Ground Zero, utilises a lot of strong women driving the story, including their boss, Sawyer's mother and quite a few in the police station. But that gradually changes with women becoming weaker and less common. These two respect women and react well to them, it added to the story, their loss was an issue for me.

I had a bit of a problem with the narrator. I binge listened to these three the problem with that is you hear the changes in the presentation, especially if you have predisposition to noticing it. I found that Tristan James lost the voice he was using for one of the characters, Or more correctly he started to use a single voice for Royce rather than differentiating between his bedroom voice and his more professional voice. It annoyed me. It felt a little bit lazy.

Such sarcastic fun times

So much wit, so many thrills and a few good mysteries thrown in and you have one hell of a trilogy!!

I love Royce and Sawyer and enjoyed their "enemies" to lovers arc in book 1. Embracing their feelings in Book 2 and strengthening their connection in book 3. I love that Royce pretty much faced his feelings quickly and honestly. There was no silly denial or embrassed back and forth. Once he admitted he wanted Sawyer he was all in and they were honest and talked to each other, which so many characters don't.

There are some heavy themes in each of these books as well as murders and mysteries to solve but Aimee was honest, empathetic and caring in her words throughout these stories and while there is sadness, anger and a little rage at some injustices these stories caught me hook line and sinker and I could barely put this collection down!!

I look forward to more of Locke, Key and the whole gang!!

Thrilling!

Came across this by chance but so glad I did. Loved that it was all three books together. The story is great but I have to say the narration is a little off. If he read it all in his own voice it’d be fine but he tries to do “voices” and he just falls short. He really should just read!

Great story

Love the author, but inclined to get bogged down in minutiae at times. Sorry, but the narrator came very close to making this a ‘did not finish’ for me. Some of the voices are annoying but it was his pacing that was really strange. Unusual emphasis on words in sentences …. Not at all how normal conversation happens. It’s irritating. If you are narrating conversation, then pace and emphasis need to fit that!

Pacing of narration is irritating.
