Then She Vanished

De: T. Jefferson Parker

Narrado por: Will Damron

What if the client who's hired you can't be trusted...and the woman you're looking for doesn't want to be found? With Then She Vanished, three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times-bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker delivers a new and pulse-pounding thriller.

Private Investigator Roland Ford has taken a job for a fellow Marine and a rising politician, Dalton Strait. Strait is contending with unexplained bombings of government buildings in his district...but that is not why he hired Ford. Strait's wife, Natalie, has gone missing, leaving behind a cryptic plea for help. Strait has made many enemies during his time in politics--including some of his own family members--all of whom could be looking for revenge. But as Ford digs into the details of a troubled marriage, Natalie's disappearance becomes more and more complicated.

Meanwhile, the bombings in the city intensify, with a mysterious group known only as the Chaos Committee claiming responsibility. Ford soon learns that the seemingly random attacks may be connected to the case he's on--and suddenly, his hunt for a missing woman might decide the fate of an entire city.

Praise for The Last Good Guy

"[An] adrenaline-charged adventure."—New York Times Book Review

"A twisty cautionary tale that will leave readers pondering the damage done in the name of misguided religious fervor and patriotism and yearning for more good guys like Ford to bring justice to our world."—Los Angeles Times

"Parker tells the tale in tight, vivid prose that at times borders on the lyrical."--Associated Press

Praise for Swift Vengeance

“Non-stop action…[T. Jefferson Parker’s] new series succeeds not only in entertaining but also in challenging readers to ponder the circle of vengeance unleashed by the Iraq war and America's seemingly endless war on terror.”—Associated Press

“Roland Ford is a compelling hero: financially comfortable but not emotionally complacent, empathetic and equipped with the training and inclination to vanquish wickedness.”—Wall Street Journal

“Parker remains one of our finest novelists…a powerful tale rich in both character and story that makes Roland Ford the modern-day equivalent of John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee.”—Providence Journal

Praise for The Room of White Fire

“Parker is the poet of American crime fiction, and The Room of White Fire absolutely proves why.”—C.J. Box

"Parker deftly builds the tension from suspense to menace to an overwhelming sense of dread. The result is a fast-paced, beautifully written thriller."—The Washington Post

Couldn’t get interested

The Narrator was good. Performance was good.
I didn’t finish as I couldn’t follow the story, just not for me.

It helped past time

It started slow and never really got me going. Listened to the whole thing, thinking it would grab me. It was an ok story. The teller was great. But just not there for me.

Great narration so so story

Story was kind of all over the place with some implausible plot lines and a lot of angst that didn’t ring true. I it was saved by excellent narration

Uneventful

I normally like T Jefferson Parker’s books, however, this audio book was uninteresting. This book prattling on and on about to details. This book veered off course so many times, we fast forward to the last hour (after 2 hours of listening) to see how it was wrapped up. Again, uneventful.

Not very captivating

Ending was predictable. Story wasn’t that interesting. I don’t recommend this title, keep looking for something else
