MESSAGE in the BONES

Messages of Murder, Book 1

De: Dawn Merriman

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey, Gina Rogers

I am not a freak, although many people call me that. The night my father was murdered and I was left for dead, I awoke with the ability to "sense" things. Touching things can give me visions, sometimes horrifying, murderous ones.

The bones of a murdered woman are unearthed and our safe small town is shaken to its core. Her killer was good at hiding the truth and after decades in the ground, any clues are gone—her murder a complete mystery. The only clues are the ones I can see.

My brother was recently promoted to head detective. With no other clues, you think he'd be thrilled to have my help, but he'd rather pretend I don't exist than use my gifts. Thank heavens, his handsome partner doesn't agree and calls me in.

Although I'm terrified to touch her, the mysterious skeleton has a story that needs to be told. When I grip the bones, I live through her murder. The message I see changes me—changes everything.

The only person who believes me is the one man who knows the truth of my visions—the killer. He's desperate to keep his secrets buried. Now he hunts a new prey—me. I don't need psychic powers to know he's right behind me—closing in—about to strike.

Book 1 Messages of Murder

I stumbled across this series after listening to Kay Hooper's, Bishop Special Crimes because I was looking for more books along the same lines.
I like the fact that the series is not overly gory and main character is flawed and still uses her gift to help people.
Loved the story line, loved the flawed characters, terrific writing and narration, but I could really use less preaching on the biblical side.

Suspenseful

This was a great story. I loved the narrator’s voice, kept me listening to the whole story in one sitting

The Touch

A mystery that holds your attention and leads you you a spectacular adventure. When a killer can be caught by using a gift from God you know it’s a hood read. Enjoy

Kept Me Guessing

I enjoyed the way the story developed. it kept my interest and I felt for Gabby and her dealing with her gift. I also liked the little tease at the end, which makes me want to read more. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and I was able to differentiate the voices. Good job.

I want to listen to more!

I really liked it and will listen to the next one. A unique story and a really good narrator. I hope she ends up with Lucas.
