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

Elsie Arsenault does an excellent performance the book Deeper Than the Dead.

Another enjoyable book by one of my favorite writers, Debra Webb. I have been a fan of her writings for some time. Her featured characters are easy to like with well-developed back stories. In 'Deeper Than the Dead,' Webb introduces a new character to the reader, Vera Boyett. Vera is from a small town in Alabama. An incident at her job in Memphis has brought her back home. Apparently, her reason for coming home is more troubling than the one she left behind. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of Vera Boyett investigations. The audible book performed by Elise Arsenault is excellent. -Mr.Bill
