Solstice

Lake Prophet Mysteries, Book 1

De: Eli Easton, RJ Scott

Narrado por: Sean Crisden

Gabriel is a former undercover cop haunted by the things he's seen and done. He returns to his small hometown of Prophet, taking on the role of sheriff, hoping to mend his fractured relationship with his estranged brother and rebuild his life. But when a chilling murder occurs at Sentinel Rocks, a sacred Makah site on Lake Prophet, Gabriel's dreams of peace and reconciliation are shattered.

Gabriel navigates a web of intrigue, where suspects abound; from local tribal elders to fervent Solstice worshippers and even those hunting the elusive Big Foot. When the brutal murder leaves Duke, a loyal Labrador retriever, as the sole witness, Gabriel stumbles upon an unexpected ally-a local animal behaviorist named Tiber.

Tiber, a newcomer to Prophet, seeks refuge in this remote haven. Armed with his extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, he offers his expertise through video consultations. While he attributes his skill to his academic background, his intuition and flashes of insight owe as much to his Navajo heritage as to science.

With the relentless rain washing away sins and good intentions alike, Gabriel and Tiber must begin to confront their vulnerabilities and unravel the truth.

Good Mystery

I really enjoyed the mystery in this book. There were several twists and turns, and a unique cast of characters. I would characterize this as a slow burn, although there is one spicy scene near the beginning. Both guys have a lot of baggage and need to work through it. I loved the animal characters and Tiber’s ability. I’m excited to read the next book. Narration was solid, if a little boring.

Great story. Great narration.

This book had all of my favorite things. The mystery has a dash of romance. The main characters are e
interesting and charming. The side characters are more than just place holders. The mystery has layers. The law enforcement procedure is believable. The setting is clearly and accurately laid out. The resolution is satisfying but plants ideas for future stories. And the narration is expertly performed.

I enjoyed this book so very much. I can usually spot the transitions in books with a writing team, but I didn't notice them in this book. RJ Scott and Eli Easton compliment each other's writing well, and Sean Crisden's voice is an excellent fit for this story. I am already working on the next book in the series and hoping the narration for the third will be done soon.

Nicely thought out murder mystery

Nice character development & story intrigue. Not the typical male / male tale. Who's the real detective?

Well hello Prophet..

A splash of mystery, pinch of suspense, a bit of murder, intriguing characters, and a bit of romance and I’m sold.

The book sounded good, was I expecting it to be as good as it was….no. I was just browsing..looking for something to fill in time and it was free. Done and done.
I am a fool, a lucky and happy fool but a fool nonetheless. Let’s just say I own the other two books now and I’m hoping there will be more.
Almost immediately I was intrigued, the narrator sucked me right in and has yet to let me go. Love the fact that there isn’t so much weight on the romance aspect—don’t get me wrong I love me some romance—but this focused on the story, the mystery, the characters. Mmm loved it.
And that narrator, five stars sir!

Love this Story, not the audible version

1st off, I have read all the books in this series, and I LOVE book 1. Im not a huge fan of the audible version. The voice acting is too gruff for me. I had an idea in my head of how Gabriel and Tiber should sound and its not this. Overall I really enjoy this book, but the audible version just wasnt for me.
