Resumen del Editor

A finalist for the Edgar and Mary Higgins Clark Awards, in her riveting debut Invisible City, journalist Julia Dahl introduces a compelling new character in search of the truth about a murder and an understanding of her own heritage.

Just months after Rebekah Roberts was born, her mother, an Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn, abandoned her Christian boyfriend and newborn baby to return to her religion. Neither Rebekah nor her father have heard from her since. Now a recent college graduate, Rebekah has moved to New York City to follow her dream of becoming a big-city reporter. But she's also drawn to the idea of being closer to her mother, who might still be living in the Hasidic community in Brooklyn.

Then Rebekah is called to cover the story of a murdered Hasidic woman. Rebekah's shocked to learn that, because of the NYPD's habit of kowtowing to the powerful ultra-Orthodox community, not only will the woman be buried without an autopsy, her killer may get away with murder. Rebekah can't let the story end there. But getting to the truth won't be easy—even as she immerses herself in the cloistered world where her mother grew up, it's clear that she's not welcome, and everyone she meets has a secret to keep from an outsider.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Andi Arndt does an excellent job narrating. She captures Rebekah's mood changers, her loneliness, and her youthful enthusiasm for her job.” —Library Journal

“[An] impressive debut…Dahl's convincing dialogue and perfect pacing make for a real page-turner. And her storytelling skills illuminate the intriguing worlds of the tabloid press, Hasidism, the NYPD, and Brooklyn's 20-somethings--as well as the fragile boundaries of family, religion, and life itself.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An absolutely crackling, unputdownable mystery told by a narrator with one big, booming voice. I loved it.” —GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

It's a shame....

It's a shame this author had so little confidence in her story and ability. The use of "F-bombs" and crass sexual phrasing was completely unnecessary. It made the main character less like able and detracted from the story.

Mildly entertaining

OK for a quick listen. The most interesting part of the story were the discriptions of a journalist on the trail of a story. The mystery itself was not so compelling. Good narration.

Enjoyable to listen to

I enjoyed this book. It showed the flaws of super religious people. The religion is secondary. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Good Read

There is some unnecessary profanity and vulgarity that I wish the editors had excluded, not sure why the author added it. Otherwise, I truly enjoyed the storyline, and the narrators performance.

Great book

Invisible City is a great, intriguing read about a novice reporter investigating the murder of a woman from a community who her mother deserted her for a a baby, 20 years prior. Part murder-mystery and part family drama, this book does not disappoint!
