No Lie Lasts Forever

A Thriller (A Flynn Martin Thriller, Book 1)

De: Mark Stevens

Narrado por: Ina Barrón

Zodiac with a terrifying twist, in a taut thriller from author Mark Stevens about a reformed serial killer and the disgraced journalist he coaxes into finding the imposter trading on his name.

When a reporter dies in a shockingly familiar way, the media rushes to announce the return of the PDQ Killer. The city of Denver reels, but no one more than Harry Kugel. After all, he is the PDQ Killer—or was fifteen years ago. And he didn’t do this.

Still working to reform his ways, Harry won’t let some amateur murderer ride his twisted coattails and risk drawing the police back his way. To protect his legacy and quiet new life, he’ll have to expose the copycat. Without exposing himself.

Disgraced TV journalist Flynn Martin holds the key. After a botched hostage situation, she’ll do anything to revive her dying career—even hunt down a monster who executed one of her own.

Harry must convince Flynn to follow him into the heady world of a killer. But with the law closing in and a rival at large, he starts to feel the familiar pull of old urges…

"This audiobook excels by blending the tension of a psychological thriller with the structure of a crime novel. This ideal pairing allows narrator Ina Barron to showcase her full vocal range to bring every character to life.... Barron's narration heightens the plot's many twists while capturing Kugel's urgency to preserve his criminal legacy and Martin's willingness to be drawn into Kugel's manipulations regardless of the consequences."—AudioFile Magazine

Liar

I enjoyed the listen and story line .I liked the determination and drive of the journalist .

A must-read!

Great book with a steady pace and an ending that leaves you wanting much, much more. I'd definitely recommend this book and read it again.

Brilliant page-turner

With vivid characters and a tight plot, “No Lie Lasts Forever” keep the reader on edge and unable to put the book down. It’s a satisfying, colorful read.

Nothing is happening…

I’m 17 chapters in and waiting on something to start happening. It’s all a lot of exposition that’s not holding my attention, and the time still shows 10 hours left in the book.

Also hate the premise that this reporter is “disgraced” after being in a completely ridiculous scenario to start. They don’t use reporters in place of trained hostage negotiators.

What???

What did I just read?? It’s never good when you keep asking… when will this story get started? It’s starts out with a sad out come that our protagonist refuses to accept accountability for… and oddly, her friends an family completely ignore FACTS and add to her stupidity telling her she was absolutely not at fault even though she apparently is a well seasoned reporter and not some 9 year old idiot … then… well I just couldn’t finish, I mean I want to grow old with my grandkids not this go no where book.

Profanity Galore : (

I can’t even give a real review because I couldn’t listen to it due to all the profanity. There should be a warning or rating system on books.
