A Beautiful Funeral: A Novel is now a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal best seller!

Losing has never been easy for a Maddox, but death always wins.

Eleven years to the day after eloping in Vegas with Abby, Special Agent Travis Maddox delivers his own brand of vigilante justice to mob boss Benny Carlisi. Vegas's oldest and most violent crime family is now preparing for vengeance, and the entire Maddox family is a target.

The secret Thomas and Travis have kept for a decade will be revealed to the rest of the family, and for the first time the Maddoxes will be at odds. While none of them are strangers to loss, the family has grown, and the risk is higher than ever. With brothers against brothers and wives taking sides, each member will make a choice - let the fear tear them apart, or make them stronger.

Teary eyed

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would I live Jamie McGuire and the Maddox boys and this book is just amazing.

Which character – as performed by Teri Schnaubelt and Joe Arden – was your favorite?

As always im team Travis even when he makes me soooo angry

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending. I can not believe that happened. Can we please get Jim and Diane's story???
So beautifully tragic and such true love

Intricately woven story....well worth a listen

This is a series (unfortunately for me) I started with this one, the last in the series!! I have to read the others to get up to speed-- because McGuire has me that interested in going back to listen to the others! This book can be read as a stand alone because McGuire gives enough back ground information to keep you abreast of some of the complicated relationships between the characters. She did an absolutely STELLAR job of giving just enough information to keep the current story relevant, but, at the same time, makes you want to go back and read the story lines you have missed!

If you choose this listen, you will find the story synopsis was vague and no where near the intricacies of relationships between the characters. Two of the brothers are FBI and their cover has been blown making the entire family a target for the mob. What transpires as the story unfolds shows the emotional trauma that is family unfold as they realize that despite the hurt and what some of them considered betrayal, their only chance of survival is sticking together and fight for their lives.

Joe Arden always delivers a steady, excellent performance. This is my first listen to Ms. Schanubelt, but she also did a good job.

I recommend using a credit for this story. It is relevant, heart wrenching in some places and the character development is unparalleled! Well done Ms. McGuire!

Breathtaking

Audible gives you such a new perspective on a book. It brings such a real life to the story. I loved the book before, and it is only greater after audio!

Tears

Get out the tissues. I loved the entire collection of Maddox's. Jamie made a very strong family with them , warts and all . Best advice start from beginning and keep on to the end. Betting once you begin you're not to go to the end. Even reread as I do

beautiful ending 😍

I have read this series.in it's entirety beautiful diaster as well as the maddox Brothers and I absolutely loved how this ended I love the full circle concept with Diane and Jim

wow

what a way to end it... wow.
I'm crying all over again. 😭 😢

such an emotionally charged story

oh, wow. I can hardly put into words the emotions that this book pulled from me. I sat with bated breath as i watched this story unfold. All of the pain and drama built in over all the books and the time elapsed between the last one and this. And at the end of it all, i cried deep and long. It was utterly, devastatingly beautiful.
The narrators were perfect, putting all the feelings in each character, in each situation. I am so glad I bought the audio book.

a roller-coaster of emotions!!!

Totally unpredictable ending to all loosen ties. All possible emotions in one simple family story

Cautions

Alert!!! Two or more boxes of tissue. Great book just wish she wrote a epilogue to see how the boys are doing a few years later. will not spoil it for anyone what happens.

I’m in love with this series

I’m sad to say goodbye to the Maddox family!! I love these stories!! I am excited to see what other series there are by Jamie McGuire!!
