The Running Girls

De: Matt Brolly

Narrado por: Patricia Santomasso

From the bestselling author of the Detective Louise Blackwell series comes a story of two murders, twenty years apart. There’s only one suspect. But what if he’s innocent?

Twenty years ago, in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas, Annie Randall took her dog for a walk. The dog returned. Annie did not. When her body was found, cruelly broken and posed like a runner, there was only ever one suspect: Annie’s husband, Frank. Now he’s served his time and come home–but the locals won’t let him forget. Especially when there’s a new ‘running girl’ murder…

Detective Laurie Campbell remembers Annie’s case. She’s also married to the Randalls’ son. Painfully conscious of the deep wounds within her family, and still suffering from a personal tragedy of her own, Laurie takes the lead on the new investigation. As much as the finger of suspicion points to her father-in-law, something doesn’t add up. If he didn’t commit the most recent murder, is it possible he never killed Annie either? And if he didn’t, who did?

As a terrifying hurricane hits Galveston, Laurie finds herself in a dangerous race against time. Can she find the answers that could heal her broken family before the wind and the waves hide them forever?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Totally gripping from the start.…If you’re looking for pace, thrills, an intriguing concept, and compelling characters then this is the book for you.”—Imogen Clark, million-copy selling author of Reluctantly Home

“Brolly delivers a fast-paced, emotionally charged story that will have you flipping to the very last page to solve the mystery.”—Cara Reinard, bestselling author of Into the Sound

GREAT READ WITH A GREAT PACE!

Great read, and Laurie is the one anyone would want on their team! Especially Frank. I knew there would be a lot twist at the end, but the direction I was going with who would be who was all wrong. The narrator was perfect in helping to bring the book to life.

The injustice will tug at your heart strings

Frank Randall spent the past 16yrs paying for the gruesome murder of his wife. Now he’s back at his Galveston home…and another woman is murdered in the same way. All signs point to Frank but his daughter-in-law, Detective Laurie Campbell, is beginning to doubt the original case. With a hurricane bearing down on them, Laurie is determined to catch the killer before it’s too late. This heart pounding story will keep you in its grasp until THE END!!

Great but sad story

I enjoyed this and couldn’t put it down until it was done. It was a good story but so sad too. I love this author! I’d like to thank everyone that made it possible to listen for free through kindle unlimited.

Not what I expected

there were parts that were certainly hard to get into bit definitely left me guessing as to who was responsible and watching it evolve and come to a resolution. The pain and turmoil she felt, was all to real the distance between her and her husband just added to the drama and story unfolding

Skips a lot

There are random places where it skips. The story was good til the end and then the hurricane stuff seemed a little fantasy like. But everything was wrapped up in the end.
