The Ways of the Dead

De: Neely Tucker

Narrado por: Scott Sowers

When the teenage daughter of a powerful Washington, D.C., judge is found dead, three local black kids are arrested for her murder - but reporter Sully Carter suspects there's more to the case. From the city's grittiest backstreets to the elegant halls of power, wry yet wounded Sully pursues a string of cold cases, all the while fighting against pressure from government officials, police, suspicious locals, and his own bosses at the newspaper. Based on the real-life 1990s Princeton Place murders, Neely Tucker' s debut novel is a pitch-perfect rendering of a fast-paced newsroom and a layered, edge-of-your-seat mystery sure to please fans of Elmore Leonard and George Pelecanos.

Like being there

Wonderfully descriptive and paints a perfect picture of every person and setting. Engaging story and surprising ending.

Good Read

As I listened I was drawn into the poverty region of D.C., something you rarely read about. Kept me guessing almost to the end! Would recommend!

Hard to shut off!

This book got me through grocery trips, drives, and work. Every chance I had to listen. Loved its twists and turns I didn’t see coming.

Great characters combined with a terrific plot

I definitely didn't see where this was going. The characters come alive definitely drawing the reader/listened into the story. The protagonist apparently comes back on sequels. This was good enough to me in. Well read.

Thank you Michael Connelly

Any additional comments?

Just a great story, well told. I was a little bummed by the end but that's okay. Thank you to the Great Michael Connelly for recommending this book. You were absolutely right.
