Texas Murder Files, Book 4

By: Laura Griffin

Narrated by: Teri Clark Linden

Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

With two brothers on the police force, Leyla Breda is well aware of the rising crime in her small beach town, but she never expected it to show up on her doorstep. When she finds one of her employees murdered in the alley behind her coffee shop, she’s deeply shaken, and as a new law enforcement officer in town begins to circle her place of business, her instincts only sharpen.

Sean Moran is on an undercover mission: the seaside community of Lost Beach may look like a picturesque postcard, but his team suspects it’s a point of intersection for several crime syndicates that the FBI has been investigating for years. Even so, when the brash and beautiful Leyla Breda starts bossing him around, he's immediately intrigued. He knows her brothers want him to back off, but every time he sees her, he feels more of a spark.

Leyla’s connections in the local community and Sean’s skills allow them to go deeper into the case together than they would be able to go alone. But when a single crime spirals into something much darker, Sean’s carefully planned mission takes a deadly turn.

Good Addition to This Series

I have loved this series so far and feel like this was a great addition. I love the appearance from characters in the first three books. I will say this one didn't pull me in quite like the others and I was a little disappointed with the lackluster ending. I felt left wanting or maybe needing more. I hope we get to see more about Detective Nicole's story in the future.

Great addition to the series

I've enjoyed this series and this is an entertaining addition. It feels like there will be more to come. The reader is excellent.

Not the best, skip it

Loved her other books in the series, really did not like this one. Story wasn't great, not that interesting, Leyla was terrible, didn't like her relationship and back and forth with Sean.

Loved the book, but narration ruined it

I love Laura Griffin's books, she's an auto-purchase author for me. I read the book very quickly and was looking forward to the audio book, but I ended up fast-forwarding through much of it. I just couldn't stand the narrator's voice for the main character, Leyla Breda. Leyla came across sounding like a 13 year-old, pinging pretty high on the Ick Meter for me. I wanted to love this audio book, but sadly couldn't bring myself to like it very much.

Just ok

I didn’t like this book as much as her others in this series. The main storyline was over shadowed by the love story. I didn’t care for the narrator.

Good story

I haven't read any of the previous books in this series but I could still follow the story when previous people were mentioned. I thought the romance was a good addition to the story. Teri Clark Linden was a great narrator.

Easy reading, enjoyable

See above, entertaining. Like this author have read several of her books, the language is pretty clean. Appreciate that.

Just couldn’t

Could not stay engaged at all. Slow pace . Sorry readers the plot may have been there but I couldn’t stay awake to find it
