Deeper than the Dead

Vera Boyett, Book 1

De: Debra Webb

Narrado por: Elise Arsenault

Someone’s found the skeleton in the closet, and it’s not the only one. Wall Street Journal bestselling author Debra Webb presents an emotional new mystery.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is.

She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

It’s a summer in small-town Tennessee, so thick with humidity it could drown you and so rife with secrets it could smother you. And deep beneath the surface, there are more bodies than you’d think…

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A taut and gritty procedural with the promise of more.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Expertly plotted and whip-smart, Deeper Than the Dead is an exceedingly clever crime thriller filled with secrets, betrayals, and complex characters. Webb manages to hit that sweet spot between family drama and police procedural. This one is sure to be a hit in the crime thriller genre. A wild and massively entertaining ride.” —Christina McDonald, USA Today bestselling author

Very enjoyable

Overall very good but the heroine can drive you crazy with how spontaneous and stupid she acts

Kept me invested throughout the book

It’s a good book by a great author. Suspects were developed along the way and Webb brought it all together in the end. The narration was great and lent a lot to the Audible version of the book. The MFC was frustrating at times because, as a law enforcement officer, she should have been less spontaneous with some of her decisions. Still a great listen

Secrets always bring the worst out of people

The secrets people keep and the extent they'll go to keep them from being exposed. Loved this book and it was definitely a game of who did it.

Great Book

It keep you guessing all the way through. I looked forward to reading the next book

One of the best…

There wasn’t a chapter or pages that didn’t pull me deeper into this well written involved I book. I high recommend it
