The Lost Coast

A Novel (Clay Edison, Book 5)

De: Jonathan Kellerman, Jesse Kellerman

Narrado por: Dennis Boutsikaris

The riveting new Clay Edison thriller from the bestselling, acclaimed father-son duo who write “brilliant, page-turning fiction” (Stephen King)

Cut loose from his former life at the coroner’s office, Clay Edison has set up shop as a private investigator. It’s steady, safe work. Until it isn’t.

The trouble begins when a young man, tasked with managing his grandmother’s estate, hires Clay to examine some minor financial discrepancies. What starts off as a case of simple fraud rapidly explodes into a web of deception, an elaborate con game stretching back decades and involving countless victims.

All the evidence points to a tiny town on California’s rugged, remote Lost Coast. Good luck getting there, though. And Clay’s reward for surviving the journey is a trigger-happy welcoming committee, ready to guard their secrets with lethal force.

Navigating this landscape of savage waves and savage lies brings Clay into collision with a host of other players: a grieving mother, an enigmatic teenager, a reclusive military veteran, a foul-mouthed PI pursuing her own agenda. And the price of truth will turn out to be higher—and deadlier—than Clay could have imagined.

From the minds of Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman comes a heart-stopping tale of deception and redemption—bursting with action, suspense, and unforgettable characters.

Great character development

I really love this book. I live in Sonoma County, so I related to the descriptions of the absolute beauty of the land. It’s entirely believable that people got scammed.

I followed the series and the first one is still the best, to me, but, I still am reading through series, as I did say, Kellerman, and Justin. Kellerman.

Just good fun

Loved having a Nor- Cal location and characters with a sense of humor. A thoroughly enjoyable read on these 100 degree stuck in the AC days.

Story kept my interest.

I liked the narration and the wit of the main character. The story line kept my interest.

Clever. Surprising twists

The story telling built and rebuilt as the mystery unfolded. I became more curious about the characters as the book progressed

Always a pleasure to listen to Kellerman (s) novels.

Never boring, wonderful character and story development and dialogue that makes interesting and fun listening. I feel like I’m hopping along with each chapter and don’t want to pause anywhere.

I’m always watching for a new Kellerman release!

it's fine.

I'm a bit biased as I grew up in Humboldt county. This book gave a reasonable explanation for some of the strangeness of rural Humboldt. Plot was fine, characters and development were fine too.

Narrator was fine.

Nothing wrong here. finished the book easily.
4 stars would be strong referral
5 stars means I expect to read again.

The way Clay keeps going to find details

Started out slow for me but picked up and I couldn’t stop. I look forward to more of Clay Edison! Perhaps a cross over with Alex and Milo!

The Best in the Series

The realism of the dialogue was great. Regina is a character I hope to see much more of in first books.

The story itself

I love the character he is so down to earth and relatable, I wish the kellerman’s wrote more frequent stories about Clay. Loved it 😊

Great story

Loved the characters and the interwoven storyline. I really love this reader. Enjoyed it all.
