A Decker/Lazarus Novel

De: Faye Kellerman

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

In this thrilling chapter in Faye Kellerman’s bestselling series, Rina Lazarus makes a shocking discovery in the woods of her upstate New York community that leads her husband, police detective Peter Decker, through a series of gruesome, decades old, unsolved murders, pointing to a diabolical, serial killer who’s been hiding in plain sight.

On a bright and crisp September morning, while walking a bucolic woodland trail, Rina Decker stumbles upon human remains once buried deep beneath the forest grounds. Immediately, she calls her husband, Peter, a former detective lieutenant with LAPD, now working for the local Greenbury Police. Within hours, a vista of beauty and tranquility is transformed into a frenetic crime scene. The body has been interred for years and there is scant physical evidence at the gravesite: a youthful skeleton, a skull wound and long dark strands of hair surrounding the bony frame. As Decker and his partner, Tyler McAdams, further investigate, they realize that they’re most likely dealing with a missing student from the nearby Five Colleges of Upstate—a well-known and well-respected consortium of higher learning where Rina works.

And when more human remains are found in the same area, Decker and McAdams know this isn’t just a one-off murder case. Short-staffed and with no convenient entry into the colleges, Decker enlists Rina’s help to act as the eyes and ears of campus gossip. Winding their way through a dangerous labyrinth of steely suspects and untouchable academics, Decker, McAdams, and Rina race to protect their community from a psychopathic killer still in the area—and on the hunt for a fresh victim.

Wonderful addition to Decker/Lazarus tradition

I've been a fan of Faye Kellerman for all my adult reading existence. I'm overawed at the way this series just keeps getting stronger and stronger. The characters are richer and the stories more addictive as the main characters mature in their lives and professions. I just hope she never stops writing!

Narrator was so monotone

It was a good book but the narrator really lost me. Half the time I didn't know who was talking because their was no difference in the tone.

Faye Kellerman/Richard Ferrone: PERFECTION!

I hadn’t picked up a Faye Kellerman mystery in years, but I can’t resist anything narrated by Richard Ferrone. She’s even better than I remember, and Ferrone is perfect for this intricate plot. You won’t be disappointed.

Great series

I just finished listening to the whole series from beginning. I love the way they evolve and teach the Jewish culture as well as give the woman’s perspective. the only disappointing part is that the last three books were read by Mr. Ferrone. His voice would be perfect for the Pendergast novels or a Stephen King book, but they do a great injustice to this series. No ability to tell when a woman is talking. I miss Mitch Greenberg’s wonderful reading of all the books up to the last three.

Great Book
