Publisher's summary

When retired family doctor Sam Moore's old girlfriend is murdered in a local hotel, the police suspect his involvement. The coroner, a former med school colleague whose husband is about to desert her, reveals that she had a crush on Sam in med school. When she is strangled the next day in her own morgue, Sam is once again in the hot seat.

Sam's world falls apart when he returns home to find a family member killed in the laundry room, stabbed with his own garden shears. Rocketed into a world of denial and temporary insanity, Sam faces his worst fear, and is locked up in the very same psych ward he was in when his brother Bill died fifty years ago. Sam is determined to ask his long dead brother to help him. Billy, who communicates through a little green marble, has the ability to propel Sam through time and has helped Sam unwrap baffling mysteries in the past.

Sam's plan: to change time, and bring his loved one back to life.

Best of Lazar

I have read or listened to nearly every one of Aaron Paul Lazar's books, and this one was the best of them. I was captivated and could not wait to get through the entire story. This is a must read/listen! I would highly recommend the entire Green Marble Mysteries series and to read/listen to them in order. You will be invested into the characters and fall in love with them and with Sam Moore. Enjoy!

Wow- This story took Sam to a whole new level

The plot twists in this book totally took me by surprise. When Sam gets blindsided by tragedy, he has to try to solve the mystery and set things right while contending with his own emotions, his past, his hard-to-control visions, etc, etc.
I was blown away by how well Lazar wrote Sam's inner thoughts as he loosens his grip on reality in the aftermath of unbearable loss. Very, very believable, heart-breaking but not shlocky.
Top-notch narration here by Robert King Ross.

Another Awesome Mystery!

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I could hardly wait to find out what happened next. This is the third book in the Green Marble Mystery series. Sam's deceased brother, Billy, connects to Sam through a green marble. Sam time travels to the past and present to experiences that Billy wants Sam be in. Their psychic connection through the marble becomes deeper and more intense in this book. Every human being has a mental list of secret fears that they wouldn't want to happen to them in their life. Sam Moore goes through two of the ones on his list in this audiobook. Listeners will feel Sam's emotions vicariously! Author Aaron Paul Lazar has the ability to take readers on this journey. I felt like I was there. The narrator did a wonderful job.

Excellent

How does one describe this book, it is a mystery, paranormal element, family, secrets of the past, and a green marble. He is retired, loving his wife, his garden, the love and beauty of these comes thru to the reader. The call to see a body, opens the tradegy of the past. Thru a green marble to go back, can a tragedy be stopped. Part of a series, it can be read alone.
The audio had great narration. Given for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
