Trading Time

A Christmas Mystery, Book 3

De: M.L. Hamilton

Narrado por: Kelley Hazen

Detective Everleigh Beckett and P.I. Isaac Stern have partnered to solve two missing persons cases in time for the Christmas holidays, but when a man shows up in a hospital, claiming to be Adam O’Sullivan, Everleigh has to decide if he’s delusional or telling the truth.

The case of Adam and Caleb O’Sullivan has haunted the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department for decades. The brothers were believed to have been abducted by their father, Mitchell, more than forty years before, but no trace of them had ever been found.

Everleigh believes she and Isaac can find the answers in an off-the-grid commune sequestered in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, but FBI agent Dwight Aldrich wants to solve the case himself.

Will Everleigh and Isaac find the truth, or will they find themselves in danger from a reclusive commune that just wants to be left alone?

The Commune

This is an interesting cold case investigation. Everleigh Beckett a detective with Missing person division along with the help of Isaac (retired cop) and now a private eye. They are interested to get the truth from Adam who was abducted along with brother Caleb by their father and taking to an evil cult ( commune run by Russell ) and once there can never leave or die. A interesting story with twists and turns also involving the FBI with great narration. Only complaint too short and cannot wait for next one Chasing Courage.

Wonderful Story

I enjoy listening to a series that I can follow the character's development through multiple stories and still have the story flow if you don't listen to the books in order. Kelley Hazen has done a wonderful job with Trading Time. The characters have distinct voices and it is easy to get involved and have to finish the story in one sitting.

Listening to the seried

I don't like how it ended without more information about the boys. I enjoyed the thrill of the investigation.

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it extremely enjoyable. A man shows up the ER after being shot, claiming to be a man missing for over 4 decades. Everleigh Beckett from the Missing Persons Division is notified. She recruits the help of P.I. Isaac Stern to investigate the victim's story of his life being held in a cult. But they soon find a mystery in a mystery. A great story with lots mystery and humour. This combination of author and narrator never fails to draw you into their world.
