Knife in the Back

De: Karen Rose

Narrado por: Lee Osorio

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose comes another "intense, complex, and unforgettable”* novel.

Officer Naomi Cranston was framed for stealing cocaine from the evidence locker and coerced—through threats to her young son—into not fighting the charges. After five years in prison, she has tried to put the ordeal behind her, but the crooks who framed her have returned, this time demanding she move drugs along with her flower shop’s deliveries. They threaten her son once again, but this time she’s not capitulating quietly. She hires Broussard Investigations to protect her and her son, to prove her innocence, and to put the real bad guys away.

As a former cop, Burke Broussard is well aware of the corruption in the New Orleans police department. He had always believed Naomi Cranston to be guilty and isn’t inclined to take her case. Until he sits down to listen to her side of things. Until he sees her tortured innocence written all over her beautiful face…

A relationship born amid an investigation is a fragile thing. Will it survive the danger and the threats? Will it survive the truth?

* James Patterson

Amazing and Action Packed

Amazing and one the will keep you on the edge of your seat. So many twists and turns that I had to take a breath and let it all sink in. Karen Rose definately knows how to keep you engaged and also has you about to lose your mind trying to figure it all out. I highly recommend this because after all the chaos, the happy ending is well deserved.

Fast paced

So so so good. Sad I finished so quick. Wasn't ready for it to end it's that good.

Great Story

Love these characters, very interesting story with great flow. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Great book

Burke has heard of Naomi as a dishonest cop sent to prison and then her sentence being overturned. She's brought to him so he can help her. He doesn't want to but then gives her a chance. There are a few cases that are intertwined. This is a really good book, I thought. Great narration, too. I enjoyed this series. I hope there are more to come.

Warm Characters, Easy to Love

This was a very interesting and good story. Not predictable. No boring fillers. I liked the narration also.

Extremely satisfying

I absolutely loved Burke's story. After completing the first 3 books in the series, I was wondering what she had in mind for Burke's story and I was not disappointed. The story was engaging, suspenseful, with the perfect partner choice for Burke. You will love it. This series is great.

Burke’s Story

I was happy to see Burke get his own story. Interestingly, I always pictured him as around 60 years old in the other Burke Broussard Investigation stories but found out in his story that he is only in his 40s. The story moved a little slowly but I did not figure out the villain until the end and it was a bit of a surprise. It seems like so many stories center around the theme of sex trafficking these days and although I appreciate Attention being called to this important issue, I don’t really enjoy reading about it. The narrator was ok. Not the best, not the worst. Overall, worth the listen. I can’t wait to see if Antwon gets his own story.

Great book

I loved this book. I’ve enjoyed this entire series. I think this was the most emotional book of the entire series. The narrator did an excellent job.

Burk and Naomi

This is the fourth book in this series. I love all of the books but was so excited to read Burk's book. Burk and Naomi are perfect for each other even though they met during a stressful situation. I love how the whole team was involved in the case in this book. Great book and as always I love all of Karen Rose's books.

Burk

Love all of this series. Wish there was another book.. Karen is one of my favorite authors. On to the next series!
