Killer Triggers by Joe Kenda DB111259
I listened to this read by Joe Kenda. He has such a dry sense of humor. Even though the subject matter is serious, this made me chuckle more than once. He talked about some of his famous cases, jokes included. He had a chapter on police canines which was quite humorous. Once again, if you have watched him on TV, this is a must read.
