In this New York Times bestseller, twenty-six renowned authors team up to create a first-rate serial thriller—a collaboration that combines the skills of today's greatest storytellers to produce one gripping murder mystery.

“The lineup of writers who have contributed to this mystery is akin to the Murderers’ Row of the 1927 New York Yankees. There is not a weak spot in the bunch.” —David Baldacci, from the Introduction

Sandra Brown. Faye Kellerman. Tess Gerritsen. J.A. Jance. Jeffery Deaver. John Lescroart. Kathy Reichs. Lisa Scottoline. Jeff Lindsay. These are only a handful of the names that make up the all-star lineup of authors behind No Rest for the Dead, a tale of vengeance, greed, and love that flows seamlessly, in the words of David Baldacci, “as it passes from one creator’s mind to the next.”

When a ruthless curator at San Francisco’s McFall Art Museum is murdered, his wife is the primary suspect. She is tried, convicted, and executed. Ten years later, Jon Nunn, the detective who cracked the case, is convinced that the wrong person was put to death. With the help of the dead woman’s friend, he plans to finally uncover the truth. Solving this case may be Nunn’s last chance for redemption…but the shadowy forces behind this murder will stop at nothing to silence the past forever.

Each of these bestselling writers brings his or her distinctive voice to the narrative, building the tension to a shocking, explosive finale. No Rest for the Dead is a thrilling, page-turning accomplishment that only today’s very best authors could achieve.

Probably better read than listened to

The variety of narrators is a little off-putting. Even in books with multiple narrators (like The Help), the first person narration is normally done in a common voice for that character. That said, the story is interesting, if a little predictable.

What a great idea!!

I loved how the writing style changes from one character to another (just like real peoples personalities come about differently) the book was very entertaining! I tip my hat to some of my favorite authors joining with some that I had never had the chance to read for some superior writting.

Different and refreshing

Very different. The differing styles of narration works great for the audio book format. Good tight story as well

Great story!!

this was a great story. the combination of all the different authors made it even better! the temperature in chest all the way up to the end didn't want to stop listening!!

Twists and turns

Loved the way the story passed from writer to writer with seamless effort. All built upon each layer, creating a believable plot filled with believable characters.

Brilliant!!

Absolutely brilliant. Storyline well though through and presented. I am officially a fan. thank you.

Excellent book

This is one of the best books that I have listened to but I did figure it out before it really even started

Pass the story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend this book because it was interesting hearing how each author provided clues and tied in the clues from the authors in the previous chapters.

Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

There were multiple narrators in the story. This made it feel a bit disjointed and also hard to follow characters. One narrator would have been ideal.

Incredible colaboration!

Despite reviews about how difficult it was to understand this book with so many authors and their different styles, I purchased it anyway - and I was not disappointed!! It was a riveting, edge-of-your-seat thriller!

Great collaboration!

It was a great original story and kept me on the edge of my seat. It had Baladacci's name which is why I wanted to listen in the first place.
I love hearing new ideas and not the same old mysteries retold.
