Meredith and Hodge are a force on all fronts

MK Turner has done it again with this Meredith and Hodge book. These two people get mixed up in all kinds of intense criminal and personal intensity that it is impossible to put it down once you start and that being said waiting for the next book to be published gets more difficult with each new book. This is the best foreign crime series I have encountered in a long time. It just keeps growing and with each new twist. One Secret Too Many has more twists than Tin Soldiers yet as a reader I never get lost. It is just impossible to put the book down. The twists that ultimately take place at the conclusion of this novel were a bit surprising to say the least. It is nice that Lee Beddow has narrated this whole series to this point. The voice he gives each character is so unique and totally believable. Although these can be read as stand alone novels I would encourage any reader to start at the beginning.

One secret too many

This was another good Meredith and Hodge installment! Lee Beddow was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great Characters

There was so much going on in this book that I felt lost at times. I liked it better when Meredith and Hodge were not working undercover. Lee Beddow is an excellent narrator, but I think I missed some details with the audio version. I would've been able to follow the plot better if I'd read it myself. Although this wasn't my favorite, I still love the series and the characters, and I was glad that Peggy made another appearance.

Complicated

I have to say this book irritated me. It's not that both Hodge and Meredith are working undercover, it's that no one at all trusts one another! Meredith gets blackmailed and Hodge's first reaction is to think he's cheating on her; Meredith is going behind his team's back and answering to people other than through the normal channels and his team don't trust him enough to basically do their jobs without wondering what Meredith is doing, and they are trying to help the bad guys rather than Meredith. I understand that they are working with incomplete data all around. Patsy is working for the big guys - government, whatever, so wouldn't she expect Meredith to trust her if she looked like she was compromised!? I honestly wanted to slap everyone in the book.

I suppose, what all this means is, M.K. Turner has done an excellent job at making us care for the characters in the book, and become invested in their stories, since she invokes that sort of reaction in this reader at least. There are some surprising twists, and still some slap upside the head moments in this. 

This is a complicated plot of revenge and spying and double crossing that leaves you guessing until the end.

not the best of the series

while i really enjoyed the first 3 in this series i had to struggle to finish that one. maybe because the focus shifted from patsy and meredith to a topic i am not so much into...
but don't want to spoil too much.
anyhow the ending is very very promising!!!!!

thanks for receiving this audiobook in exchange for an honest review!

Tense!

Trust, obedience, & secrets are all hard to keep! Great twist at the end.

Lee Beddow does a great job narrating.

Secrets

This was not my favorite of the series. It was still good but I seemed to have a hard time keeping the players straight. The ending was surprising and I still want to know what happens next.

Old Cases Reinvestigated

Murder and Mayhem for Meredith and Hodges some people in high position wants some old cases reinvestigate. When really it was to have Meredith become the patsy get him out of the way. A lot of twists and turns and narration was good. GivenARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

gorey

This has a great deal of graphic intense gorey scenes, that I personally could do without. Too much detail in that sense. Secrets are revealed and the last one is a real gut punch!!! I've disliked Patsy most of the last book and this one , because she's quick to lay blame on Meredith and believesthe worst. Where's the trust, if you care for someone you give them the benefit of the doubt??? The last bombshell still has me reeling and processing it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
