No One Left to Tell

I love this genre and I was really looking forward to settling down for a listen after reading the reviews. Let me begin by saying I really wanted to love it. The storyline was solid and the characters were believable. Where they lost me was the vapid, adolescent banter and interaction that absolutely NO intelligent adults in positions of authority would be party to. There were some truly inane conversations and groan worthy exchanges that had me almost cringing with embarrassment for the character. Some of it was so bad I fast forwarded to get through it. I don't mind a bit of double entendre and flirtation, but I have never heard adults have such ridiculous conversations. That having been said.... the story was ok, there were a few surprises and it was worth a credit. The narrator was good, but not on my favorites list. I would not recommend to a friend with a straight face.

Amongst the best...Karen Rose is a MASTER of suspense. She pulls you into the story so well you're afraid if you turn if off for a second you might miss something.

Paige ~ she's been through so much and not only survivied, but is determined that she's going to carve a new and better path for herself. She's seen her friends find love, and while she's not sure she CAN find it, she wants to at least give herself the chance...and the choice. She's strong enough to uproot herself and move and start over on her own, w/ only her dog by her side.

She REALLY does the cliff hangers and red herrings well. When we're not supposed to be guessing who it is we're 'seeing', she nails it. I had NO idea, and I was trying my best to guess, lol. She's different, but perfect for this book.

You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole show!

I LOVE Karen Rose's books, and can't WAIT for the next one...I hope it's going to be Stevie's book, whom we've gotten to know in the last few books. She and her daughter, Cordelia, have been through alot, and need a happily ever after!

This was a very good listen, it grabbed my attention from the beginning and had me wondering throughout! Nothing like a good conspiracy!

It was right up there I really like Karen Rose she weaves a great tale

Yes on Karen Rose. I wouldn't look for books by Gavin, but then there's very few narrators I'd look for and consider a book solely because of the narrator (e.g., Susan Ericksen; Scott Brick).

Wendie Malick clone (actress on Just Shoot Me, Hot in Cleveland, etc.) I swear I thought Wendie was the narrator at times -- especially the (too) many times the narrator had a very sarcastic tone. Is it just me? I found this very distracting at times.

Yes. But it wasn't up to Karen Rose's normal level. It went on too long before getting to the puzzle-solving.

Just about every supposedly responsible police and DA employee is either evil, complicit or seemingly stupid. The central male character's big secret? Does the States' Attorney office not do background checks for security clearance? All these cops are being blackmailed and terrorized into doing heinous things but no one breaks? How many times are you nearly killed before you get the heck out of Dodge until things cool down? Nope, let's walk around with a Kevlar vest despite the sharpshooter who no doubt is capable of nailing you in the head. I've lost my spouse and child, nearly lost my other child, and folks still can get access to my home to terrorize us more? Especially when about 5 attempts have been made on a best friend's life and I'm working to solve the case? Huh?
