Resumen del Editor

When murder is your business, solving the case is personal …

The Homicide Hunter’s riveting debut novel proves that fiction really can be stranger than truth …

All Is Not Forgiven is the debut crime novel by television star Joe Kenda, a former homicide detective, whose hit series Homicide Hunter and Homicide Hunter: American Detective air on Investigation Discovery, the #1 true crime channel available in more than 80 million homes.

In this first novel, the rookie Det. Kenda investigates a 1975 case that begins with the murder of a beloved Colorado philanthropist and society figure whose husband, a gambler and womanizer, appears to have an air-tight alibi.

Mentored by his veteran partner Det. Lee Wilson, a former Nashville singer turned skilled investigator, Kenda’s case quickly attracts attention from the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, for its similarity to a string of killings involving wealthy married women. All the murders appear to have been committed by a hired professional whose trademark is the use of an unusual form of lethal ammunition that leaves no trace.

Detectives Kenda and Wilson travel across the country, following leads to Las Vegas and a mob “made man” pit boss who moonlights as a matchmaker for hit men. In this first extraordinary case, the detectives join a full law-enforcement blitz to track down a twisted killer who has made murder his business.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrated skillfully by Bradford Hastings, Tim Campbell, and Kenda himself, the audiobook benefits from their ability to produce a variety of voices for the fascinating cast of characters. At its core, the story focuses on a hit man who murders rich wives at the behest of their husbands, but it is the other characters whose personalities make the audiobook so satisfying, including veteran detective Lee Wilson, other police and FBI agents, and various mob underlings."

Wow!

First, I would like to thank Mrs. Kenda for all of her sacrifices as a homicide detective’s wife. Thank you, Detective Kenda, for seeking justice for those who cannot seek it for themselves.

I was surprised that this was fiction…I hadn’t paid attention, I simply automatically ordered the new Joe Kenda book, and was a little apprehensive. Disappointed with other fiction authors in the past, I realized that Kenda used his entire palette of experiences to paint a believable crime fiction account. There were times when I started to do internet searches for certain names and I remembered that I was listening to fiction. Yes, I toured Tívoli Gardens on GoogleMaps and I looked at the driving route between Colorado Springs and Vegas, as well (I’ve driven that route a couple of times, myself).

The story was a treat for me, with a very satisfying ending, and I’m glad that I listened. Highly recommended.

P.S. I even enjoyed the two narrators and their facility with voicing for various characters…it was unique, and it helped to keep the various points of view separated.

Well My My My...

Drawing on his first case, Lt. Joe Kenda crafts a novel that will keep you enthralled from the first page.

When a wealthy socialite is murdered, there are similarities to several other cases around the country. As the team tries to figure out who might have wanted this beloved woman dead. Her husband appears to have an air-tight alibi, but as the detectives begin chipping away, they learn there is more to this relationship than first thought.

Absolutely LOVED this book! I could not put it down! I grabbed a audible copy so that I could swap between listening and reading, and both were equally fabulous!

Highly recommend this book to any true crime fans out there!

Great debut

I love watching Kenda on ID
This is his first fiction novel. It was very entertaining!

I thought this was very good

This book moved at a quick pace. I liked all the narration. I am a found of his true crime books, but this was very good.

short

this story seemed to end abruptly and unfinished. not to my liking. characters somewhat shallow.

Kenda always gets the bad guys put away

Enjoyed this fictional book almost as much as the police stories. Do it again, Joe.

Interesting!

Fascinating, interesting, and eye opening, what police have to go through dealing with criminals. They should get paid a lot more than they do, when one considers that every day they go to work may be their last. I'm also purchasing J.K.'s next book.

Loved it!

I loved the way the whole story was put together. I want to read/hear more of what Joe Kenda has to offer!

Decent

A decent story that I did find interesting, but I got a little lost in the separate story lines. Sometimes felt like I was starting a total different book. It took a little bit to connect them, but once they fell into place it was a solid story with an interesting ending.

Kenda can write too!

Huge Homicide Hunter fan- loved this read! Finished it within a day because it is paced so well.
