Still Waters

A Novel

De: Matt Goldman

Narrado por: Helen Laser

If you’re reading this email, I am dead. I know this will sound strange, but someone has been trying to kill me.

Liv and Gabe Ahlstrom are estranged siblings who haven’t seen each other in years, but that’s about to change when they receive a rare call from their older brother’s wife. “Mack is dead,” she says. “He died of a seizure.” Five minutes after they hang up, Liv and Gabe each receive a scheduled email from their dead brother, claiming that he was murdered.

The siblings return to their family-run resort in the Northwoods of Minnesota to investigate Mack's claims, but Leech Lake has more in store for them than either could imagine. Drawn into a tangled web of lies and betrayal that spans decades, they put their lives on the line to unravel the truth about their brother, their parents, themselves, and the small town in which they grew up. After all, no one can keep a secret in a small town, but someone in Leech Lake is willing to kill for the truth to stay buried.

New York Times bestselling and Emmy award-winning author Matt Goldman returns with a gripping, emotional thrill ride in this compelling story on grief and uncovering the past before it’s too late.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Forge.

Reseñas de la Crítica

<p>Praise for Matt Goldman<br><br>"First-class...The often amusing dialogue flows naturally, the emotional undercurrents ring true, and the mystery itself offers a full complement of suspects and motives. This novel about love, loss, and family ties isn’t to be missed." —<i>Publishers Weekly, </i>starred review, on <i>Carolina Moonset</i><br><br>“Goldman has an unerring ear for snappy dialogue and a poet’s eye for the beauty of nature. This is a compelling story of how the past is never truly the past, and how we make sense of the gifts that are offered us in every present moment. I loved this book.”—William Kent Krueger on <i>Carolina Moonset</i><br><br>“A writer to watch.” —Harlan Coben<br><br>“A perfect blend of light touch and dark story.” —Lee Child on <i>Gone to Dust</i></p>

Bring Nils back!

This story seems to be trying too hard. Matt, please write another Nils Shapiro book, I so loved them!

Not that good.

I expected much more than this disappointing story from Goldman. He needs to go back to Nils Shapiro, or an equally adventurous hero.

Excellent Plot - Issues with Narrator

I really enjoyed the story - interesting characters, decent plot twists - and I will definitely listen to this author again. The narrator, however, was truly disappointing. Her Minnesota accent was way off, and she was inconsistent in the voices she used for the different characters. On occasion, she even used a high screechy voice for an old man, which made no sense. With another narrator, I could easily have given this book a 5.

Amazing

This book keep me guessing all the way to the end! The ending was so perfect and happy!

Good story!

Matt Goldman is a fine storyteller and this is another fine story. The characters are relatable and likable. Definitely worth a credit.
Highly recommended!

Disappointed

I am disappointed with this book. I didn't find the characters sympathetic or the storyline exciting. I love his Nils Shapiro series and the stand alone book Carolina Moonset. I wish he would add to his series again.
