No Living Soul

De: Julie Moffett

An ancient secret is no match for amateur sleuth and professional trouble magnet Lexi Carmichael!

My work as a computer geek has me traveling around the world, solving mysteries and fighting bad guys. Sometimes with my friends, but always with trouble by my side. So you’d think I would’ve expected to be plagued by danger when I headed to Egypt with my best friend, Elvis Zimmerman, and boyfriend, Slash, to help track down Elvis’s missing and estranged father. Nope.

Genius runs in the family, and we quickly discovered Elvis’s father is hot on the trail of an ancient and elusive artifact...one that people are willing to kill to find. Tombs, tablets, and code come together as we follow a set of clues that has been waiting millennia to be discovered.

Cracking code is my specialty, but I never expected to tackle one from fifteen hundred years before the advent of written language. The sands of time are running out. If the artifact falls into the wrong hands, we won’t be able to rewrite history. So, it’s up to us to find and safeguard the secret to ensure no living soul ever encounters it…again.

As Usual, a Great Experience

Story wonderful, but alternate character voices not great. Especially Slash. Needs work. A little distracting.

Lexi and Slash Are A Real Couple

Lexi and Slash are a couple moving in together. But, then Elvis' dad enters the picture. Gwen the microbiologist gets involved to help Elvis solve a mystery and all wind up going to Egypt following a clue. The adventure is typical Lexi but not as compelling IMHO. I like this series very much but this book got on my nerves. I didn't like Gwen's attitude. Can someone with an advanced degree really act and sound (kudos to narrator) like a petulant child? Apparently so. Lexi and Slash survive some adventures and you don't really figure anything out until the end. The descriptions of the museum, the artifacts, and the sights and smells of Cairo are almost palpable. It is another great story and Lexi learns more about being a 'girlfriend.' Is that jealousy I see? Hmmm. We don't get to see Slash being as hunky as usual but he is still leading the pack. Kristin Watson Heinz is a good narrator for this series.

❤️story, character development, humour❤️

So this was a really fun wild ride in now what I've come to know as the beloved Lexi Carmichael fashion. What I appreciate about this one is that it shows that those adventures are not random. There is a bigger overarching hidden purpose linking all the trouble Lexi seems to stumble into. And on that note, I'm onto the next one!

Predicts the affects of the 2020 Pandemic!

Seriously ironic. It was released in 2017. Projects the results of the 2020 pandemic. The focus is on stopping a global outbreak, quarantine, and economic breakdown. The book supposes that 62M will die in year one worldwide. Right now, almost a year in, “only” 2,063,107 have died.
Too bad the happy ending that stops it in the book didn’t happen in real life.

My first acquaintance with Lexi Carmichael

I don’t know why picked this book. Especially since it is in the middle of a series but I enjoyed it. When it started, I thought it was going to be a light little mystery. As I got to about 50 pages into the story, I realized I was hooked. The characters were fun and appealing. The plot unraveled slowly but it wasn’t slow.

The story was about some spores found in an Egyptian staff from 5000 years ago. The winds and winds around until the final discovery. A great mystery that left me wanting to continue to find the solution.

My only decision is to decide if I should go back to the first installment or continue from where this book left off. I am rather invested in the characters from this book.

Lexi's at it again!

As usual, this was a great book. It was funny, fast paced, and an interesting mystery. The camel ride was hilarious!

Lexi C IS Stephanie Plum 2.0 w/upgrades!

Moffett’s Lexi is brilliant on all levels- humor, romance, faults. Edifying science, tech, locales; so terrifyingly relevant to current events but with hope - especially w/ these Characters!!! Please make them exist!

No Living Soul

I love this series. For a lot of laughs in this one and a little bit of sad. Lexi and Slash continue to grow in their relationship. In this book, we add a new crew member and they head off to Egypt to find Elvis's dad. He has made a significant archeological find. One so compelling even Lexi believes. Intriguing and fun race to figure out the puzzle and best the bed gas.

Superb series !!

Love the geekiness, funny interplay & adventures. So much fun to listen to. Laugh out loud moments, edge of your seat & OMG times ! Great narrator as well !!

Stop with the awful Italian accent

I love Lexie Carmichael books, but I absolutely cannot listen to one more page of Slash being presented with an accent reminiscent of Dracula. I will not purchase any more audio books for this series. I will be content to read them the old fashioned way.
