Publisher's summary

A thriller of murder, redemption, and breakneck twists by the Amazon Charts best-selling author of Dead Certain.

After her sister was murdered, Ella Broden meted out her own punishment, then abandoned her career to pursue her passion as a singer. But another murder that hits close to home draws her back to seek justice.

Dana Goodwin is the newly appointed deputy chief in the Special Victims Bureau, replacing Ella. For her, the case is also personal, but behind Dana's relentless pursuit, her motives might be running deeper than anyone can see. Her secrets, too.

Connecting the two women is Ella's boyfriend, Gabriel Velasquez, who has teamed up with Dana to investigate the murder.

At first Ella thinks all she has to fear about this case is what she knows - that she could be the next target of a man's obsession. But the closer she works with Dana, the more she starts to believe that the most dangerous thing of all is what she doesn't know.

Much better than the first in the series

This story line for me, was much more interesting than the first in the series. The narrator improved her dialogue in this book than the first book. I would consider more of this author's books in the future.

Phenomenal legal thriller

Would you consider the audio edition of Never Goodbye to be better than the print version?

Yes, but for one reason only. Erin Bennett!!!

What did you like best about this story?

The plot twists, and I love the intimacy with the characters because of the way he uses multiple first person perspectives.

What does Erin Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is a super star in book narration. Her voice, her inflections, her passion. It brings the book to life.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Someone has to sing for the dead

Any additional comments?

The new phenomenal legal thriller from Adam Mitzner.
This story is a riveting tale of love, deception, well explained legal drama and redemption. The plot twists are very well thought out and will keep you guessing. With very memorable characters whom I would love to get to know for real, it draws you in and doesnt let go.

Not Great but Not Bad.

Pretty good story, just too much behind the scene story telling. I kind of predicted who did it and I was hoping it would have come out in a more compelling way but It was kind of blah the way the book ended.
I would listen to another book from this author.

Good!

As another reviewer said, good, but not great. The thing that made it not great for me was the ending. I wanted more, but felt like it just ended, uneventfully. I did enjoy the story and was disappointed when it was over - I wanted more.

Think before you write

It’s a great story, however it was painful to hear Scripture miss used, pulled out of context, misinterpreted, and treated disrespectfully. That passage is a very powerful concept that embodies the heart of the Christian faith and actually upholds the faith stance that man’s heart is inclined to evil always and without Grace Salvationist Impossible. Sin exists without the law. The law only exposes sin.

Figured it out early

Even though I had this one figured out pretty early, the storyline and the characters still held my attention. I'm not going to throw any more information at the potential reader, including the spoiler........instead, it's worth the credit. Read it yourself.

The only thing I might add is that I found the narrator's ocassional "gasps" of breathing a bit annoying at times. Other than that, she did a great job with characterizations.

Suspense At Its Best

Never Goodbye is fantastic! Highly recommended. Adam Mitzner has crafted an intense story, revealed page by page through the narration of two women. Both associated with prosecuting in the Special Victims Unit. When a woman is murdered, the investigation leads to a shocking result.

Ella Broden and Gabriel Velasquez return from Mitzner’s previous book, Dead Certain. The two are very likable. Will we see more of them in future books? They make a great team, professionally and personally.

The little details that reveal themselves add to the tension in the book. It is nearly impossible to stop listening until the end.

You can read my full review at Mystery Suspense Reviews. This one is my new favorite!

A legal thriller with heart!

Adam Mitzner has the ability to incorporate accurate and riveting courtroom drama with moving, believable characters whose personalities, flaws and intertwining relationships are revealed chapter to chapter. And although with other thrillers I normally know the killer about midway through the book, I was kept guessing until nearly the last chapter! I am now a fan! I will buy more of Mr. Mitzner’s audiobooks, and will assuredly enjoy the ride!

Can be confusing as hell!

Was quite confusing particularly in the Beginning aS you need to understand The narrator is switching from one woman to the other And the only way you know which one is the 1 the narrator is talking for.

fantastic story

excellent story, written well, kept me in suspense the whole time. what a great ending!
