De: D. D. Black

Narrado por: Joe Hempel

Sometimes murder comes in waves....

In 1979, a florist's lifeless body surfaced in the serene waters of Dyes Inlet, an enchanting estuary connected to the vast Puget Sound. Although the murder was never solved, a sinister heart carved into the victim's back made the case unforgettable.

Forty-four years later, history repeats itself as not one, but two more victims are discovered within 48 hours, each bearing the exact same chilling carving in their flesh. The county's darkest mystery is about to be ripped wide open.

Enter Thomas Austin, a private investigator with a haunted past he's finally ready to leave behind. Called in to untangle the threads of one of the most disturbing cold cases in the state's history, Austin realizes quickly that nothing is as it seems.

To unravel the mystery, he must delve into the past and confront a chilling question: how long can love endure, and to what unimaginable lengths will one person go to preserve it?

Gripping, visceral, and hauntingly evocative, The Drowning at Dyes Inlet is a pulse-pounding mystery that will leave you breathless and questioning everything you thought you knew about the depths of true love.

Great story decent narration

some of the places were pronounced incorrectly. I only know Bev's because I'm a local.

Books are good

But, after having read the reviews of previous books, and how often this narrator mispronounces local city names, you’d think he would do some research prior to reading his next one.

The locations are spot on!

Thank you, Mr. Black, for all the historically correct locations in this series. These really truly bring your stories to life. You are a marvelous writer and so descriptive. Even those who would have never visited the Pacific NW would feel its beauty while feeling your deeply interest grabbing stories!

Good plot

I’ve been listening to all the books in this series and enjoyed them, but this one seemed a bit better than the last one. There were several different storylines but never got confusing. I like the relationships in this story as well. The narrator does a good job.

Character Development. Reason I enjoy D D Black

Although I was not drawn into the story as quickly as I expected, midway, I was hooked by all of the twists and turns and truly did not want to turn off audiobooks when I got to a destination. Mr. Black’s character development is my favorite part of his books and this one did not disappoint.

So many plot twists!

Another great book by D.D. Black- Just when I thought I had figured out the “Who Done It,” I found out I wasn’t even close. It’s hard to quit listening to his audio books because I’m fascinated by his ability to twist the plot to places I hadn’t even anticipated. I love that the characters are fleshed out so well, you feel like you would recognize them in a crowd on the street.

Better with every book

D.D. Black is my new favorite author and his stories get better with every book. His narrator is awesome. Hurry up and write more.

The story

I like the book a lot. But have to say you put a lot of effort into getting the pronunciations right for western Washington. But please do the same for the whole state. Wenatchee is pronounced “Wun-na-che” and Spokane is “Spo-CAN”

fun story set in Poulsbo.

The reader mispronounced many local names... like Wenatchee and Agate Pass.... Also difficult to tell when setting changed...

Great novel, the unfunny comedian of Wonderful murder mystery

This goes right in line with the rest of the books. Very very nicely has a wonderful well I guess ending this author is very intriguing. It’s very interesting. Dealing with terrible facts without lots of blood gore.
