The Girl from Devil's Lake

Joanna Brady Mysteries

De: J. A. Jance

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

Arizona County Sheriff Joanna Brady solves her biggest case yet, from a body in the desert to crimes spanning decades and countries, in the thrilling latest installment in the New York Times bestselling suspense series.

Sheriff Joanna Brady is looking forward to the holidays with her busy family, and to celebrating her daughter Jenny’s graduation from the police academy. But the family is interrupted when a body is discovered beneath a flooded bridge in the Arizona desert, and Joanna is called onto the case. A young boy was murdered, and the details of the crime scene tell Joanna two things: This was not the killer’s first murder. And it’s only a matter of time before he kills again.

As Joanna digs deeper into the case, she begins to understand this murder is just one piece of a much, much bigger puzzle. She uncovers unlikely connections between cases of mysterious deaths and missing persons, having long since gone cold, that extend far beyond the confines of her small town and include the discovery of a body near Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. To get justice for the victims and to save the town of Bisbee from a predator, Joanna must chase down every dangerous lead.

Meanwhile, as a dogged journalist is circling the case and privileged information is leaked, Joanna can’t be sure who to trust. Could a prolific killer be hiding in plain sight? And how far will that person go to keep his many crimes hidden?

Joanna Bradey at her best, as usual.

I have been looking forward to this book and it did notdisappoint.
When will we have an Ali Reynolds book?

Great Story!

Love this narrator. Another Joanna Brady Mysteries success. I am looking forward to the next one

it is a great story and probably one of the author's best books.

The book is extremely well written as far as developing the story. Unfortunately, the author still seems to feel the need to keep referring to the date including the full day, month, year. At the start of the book this makes sense since The story is about different times spread over years. However, there is no need to keep giving the day month and year repeatedly for the same day and only separated by a few minutes in time.

Have to listen to

Wonderful work , love it, can want to share it. J.A.Jance is a great writer. Love her books.

Thanks to Ms. Jance for writing such a wonderful continuation of the Joanna Brady series. When I read this series and this most recent installment, I wanted to put on my Stetson, get a horse, strap on my six gun and head out. 😊
