Publisher's summary

Once You Go This Far is the fourth thrilling mystery from Shamus Award-winning and Anthony and Macavity Award-nominated author Kristen Lepionka.

Junior-high school Nurse Rebecca Newsome was an experienced hiker - until she plummeted to her death at the bottom of a ravine in a Columbus metro park. Her daughter, Maggie, doesn’t believe it was an accident, and Rebecca’s ex-husband is her prime suspect. But he’s a well-connected ex-cop, and Maggie is certain that’s the reason no one will listen to her. PI Roxane Weary quickly uncovers that the dead woman’s ex is definitely a jerk, but is he a murderer?

As she pieces together the days before Rebecca died, what Roxane finds doesn't quite add up. From a series of trips to Detroit and across the border to a casino in Windsor, Canada, to strange calls from Rebecca’s home to a charismatic political candidate, to a women’s health organization, to a secretive church group that seems to have more information about its members than it should, Roxane needs to figure out how everything is connected before a dangerous secret gets someone else killed.

Kudos to KL and AR. This book is superb. Truly.

Awesome

So I have the book and hardback also but I hadn't taken the time to read it so I got the audiobook The book is great The voice actress who does the voice for Roxanne is amazing and the book is thoroughly enjoyable had a great twist. I expected it to be a different twist and it was a different twist than that So what else could you ask for.

So sad the series is over

I was really hoping another book would come out but since book 4 came out in 2020 I guess this is it. I really did enjoy the series and the narration was awesome. I will definitely look for more books with this narrator. To the author, please consider continuing the series. I know it can be daunting, trying to come up with new ideas, but I would like closure with some of the characters. Let’s face it. Everyone loves a happy ending and wrapped up in a tidy bow. I’ve also noticed that it seems like you’ve stop writing. please consider getting back on the horse and continuing you do have a talent.

She did it again!

Kristen has done it again - every time I read one of her novels I get to like Roxanne more and this time we get to enjoy some turns in family relations. Personally my Audible library is filled with traditional classics and history, but when Kristen comes out with a new book I gobble it up.I can’t wait for the next one; I’m guessing COVID-19 might be a part of it.

The same exact story

Literally the same exact story and outcome as the previous books. First one was so great then they just reused the same story from the second one on.. even the same culprit.
