AWESOME!!

Wow, what conflict and suspense!
Very engaging and thought-provoking audiobook, not to mention an awesome story!

I loved the writing and the narration, and really enjoyed the listen. It's good!! :) I've often thought about what I, or someone I love, would do in the same situation. I watch too many True Crime ID shows haha, and if it were me, the ones who committed the crime would be toast. But, is that what God teaches us?

Solved

This book was wonderfully narrated and written. The upside to murder is no trial, no conviction, no testimony, to the crimes that were perpetrated against an innocent person. The downside to murder is praying you don't get caught trying to protect your daughter/family from the possibility of said criminal walking away innocent from our "wonderful" justice system. Than another side you find out your daughter is pregnant from the crime that was committed against her and her friend, and YOU are so against abortion that you are demanding she have the child and give it up for adoption. Daughter says never... no more give away's to the book... Just read it you will not be able to put it down. The narrator did so many different voices I was impressed. A couple of times I thought there were more than 1 reader..

Interesting listen

The opening chapters in this book have the character using the word "jive". I start thinking it will be set in the 60's. Then the author makes a reference to low-hanging jeans. Well, that's the 2000's. I knew the author was an ex-cop so I tried not to let disjointed imagery like this take me out of the listen. It happened a few other times but if you like a full-frontal crime story, this listen will deliver.

The narrator was all over the place (in a good way.) There were a slew of characters and ages and cultures and professions and he made easy work of them. It was very impressive.

This book is a hard listen and it does not miss on any of the police procedures. Come prepared.

Twists upon Twists.

This was a great crime novel. the twists come ar you every time you think you have caught up. The characters were well fleshed out and the narrator helped to bring everything to life. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a crime drama because they will be thrilled. I was given a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.
