Dead Right

De: Brenda Novak

Narrado por: Karen Stein

Twenty years ago Madeline Barker's father disappeared. Despite what everyone else thinks, Madeline's convinced her stepfamily had nothing to do with it. But the recent discovery of his car finally proves he didn't just drive away. Worse, the police find something in the trunk that says there's more to this case than murder.

With no other recourse, Madeline decides to hire a private investigator - even if the cops don't like it. Even if her family doesn't like it. But when P.I. Hunter Solozano begins to uncover some shocking evidence, someone in Stillwater is determined to put a stop to Madeline's search for the truth.

And that means putting a stop to her. Permanently.

I like Brenda Novak books

Any additional comments?

It seems to me like every time I read or listen to a Brenda Novak book I like her better. This book was no exception. I read in some other reviews of this book some negative comments concerning the southern accents the narrator used. I agree that the narrator's southern accents are a bit hooky and even though I live in Idaho my wife is from Georgia so maybe I do have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about. Still with the story taking place in Mississippi maybe southern accents should be used. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any one that is in a position to hire narrators for books with a southern story line to look for a narrator that actually comes from the south. All in all this is a good book and I'll be getting some more Brenda Novak books to add to my collection.

Loved It!

Had everything I love in a series. The writing was great and I never lost intrest

Ending

The ending could have been a lot more suspenseful but it’s still a very good book.

bad southern accents

I have enjoyed this series of books. It's set in northeast Mississippi near where my daughter lives. I grew up in Mississippi and now live in Alabama. This had some of the worst Southern accents I've heard on audio. There are also many mispronunciations of geographic names. Of course, if you are unfamiliar with the area, this won't bother you. The story was good, but listening to it was not a pleasure. This is not the same narrator used in the first two books of this series.

Great conclusion

Moments of fear, sadness, happiness, and tears. This book has it all. Again, though, I HATE fake southern accents!

Great series!

I didn't think I would like these. This is the first series I read from this author and I liked them. I love it when an author can get me so wrapped up in the book that I can't set it down till it is done. Well that was the way it was with the whole series. I Just had to read the next one to see how it all turned out.

It continues with torture.

This definitely an adult novel that's hard to read as I bet it was harder to write.
Anyone who could do this to children should be disposed of. Good novel, hard to listen to and you pray for these characters who was harmed that this is all fake, knowing there is those that truly goes through this and unfortunately more.

this was not my favorite

I must say that I liked the closure of this book to find out the out come but I must say this seemed to long in coming for me the pedophile side of these books were hard to read....
This book is not for everyone it is graphic and hard to relate to in some ways but the truth shows that it always comes out in the end, if you can handle reading about pedophiles you will be ok but this book has some ugly parts.

Great suspense, great author!

I read Every Waking Moment and loved the book so much I looked for other books by Brenda Novak. I was not disappointed when I bought the entire "Dead" trilogy. She is a wonderful author who has created the perfect mix of Romance and suspense.

Listen to the sample before you select this book

This is the third book in this series. I was looking forward to it because it would tie all of the pieces together.
I was disappointed because it seemed to drag.
My perception might have been different if the voice of the narrator had been better.
