The Erin O'Reilly Mysteries, Book 9

De: Steven Henry

Narrado por: Kristi Alsip

When you stop running, the past catches up with you.

Detective Erin O’Reilly has never needed anyone to tell her she’s tough. She’s taken the worst New York City can throw at her, surviving gunfights, explosions, mobsters, and serial killers. But now, as she returns from a well-earned vacation, she finds there are some enemies that bullets can’t touch. As she and her K-9 partner Rolf dive into their newest case - a military veteran and his wife murdered in a cold-blooded home invasion - Erin must confront the lingering legacy of trauma.

Violence leaves scars on the flesh and the spirit of victims and perpetrators alike. Plagued by the aftershocks of what she’s already survived, Erin will need to dig deep to struggle through new dangers. In the process she will tear open the wounds of broken men who are back from war but still fighting for their lives and their sanity. But she will soon find that the enemies on the outside are nothing compared to the toughest battle: the struggle for her own soul.

Another great storyline

The story plot is really interesting and unfortunately realistic. Plays out well with the ending. Fast-paced intrigue. Well done Steve Henry. I can't wait to read the next one.

Moving murder mystery

This story focuses back on Erin and how she is affected by her work in Major Crimes. Who can help her? And then there's the murder case and the takedown, both exciting and moving as we learn about the way that some veterans are affected upon returning "home." Thanks for providing some insight on the topic! Looking forward to reading the next in series!

Felt real

I am the spouse of a PTSD, OR BETTER YET PTSI.
Post traumatic stress injury. my wife a retired division chief for the California Fire department (Cal-fire). this story does go into details and triggers. Not an enjoyable subject but now a fact of life.

Fantastic Addition To The Series

This one hit me hard. I was never in the military but have some PTSD from some life events that weren’t pretty. Steven Henry really gets those flashbacks down. They truly caught me off guard. On top of that, I really appreciated how he slid in the inequity when it came to cops and POC, as well as the understanding of PTSD in veterans. There was a lot of real world stuff in this, and the way he unraveled some of what veterans go through was beautifully done. Fantastic sequel. On to the next.
