The Fallen of Foulweather Bluff

A Thomas Austin Crime Thriller, Book 3

By: D. D. Black

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

If the marshlands could speak, whose name would they whisper?

On Memorial Day, 1992, three decorated navy officers disappeared in the sleepy beach town of Hansville, Washington. Thirty years later, their medals were found in the marshlands of Foulweather Bluff. So were their bones.

For private investigator Thomas Austin, this case hits close to home. The son of a JAG lawyer, Austin grew up around the navy. To solve the case, he must piece together clues buried in the marshlands and dark secrets hidden in navy history.

But when another investigator disappears, Austin realizes that the threat may not be in the past after all. In his most shocking, personal case yet, the darkness comes for Austin in a way it never has before. And the gut-wrenching final revelation leaves him questioning everything he’s ever known—even his own past.

Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan, Mary Stone, and Lee Child, The Fallen of Foulweather Bluff is a gripping mystery that will sweep you from the pebbly beaches of Western Washington to the polished halls of American military power.

Really liking this series

I agree with previous review as to why D.D. Black is not better known. Nice concise story and doesn’t get bogged down with too many secondary stories. I will be happy though when the Fiona story has concluded.

Enjoyment

Not quite as enthralling as it’s predecessor wise – slightly convoluted
But still enjoyable as far as I’m concerned

Series remains solid - this is #3

Very likable characters. Development of relationships continues well. Interesting premise. Story does not drag. Very good narrator. BTW you can listen out of order. Stories stand alone. But there are references in each book to the story lines in previous ones. Heading on to the 4th!

Terrific story and narration

I have become addicted to this series. The narrator is superb! Why is it DD black as famous as J Jans or Michael Connolly?

Reoccurring Questions as to Who? What? Need to Learn Morr

The complexity and number of characters was at times confusing. If I had a day or two off from listening I began to wish I had written down character names & sometimes their profiles. Not necessarily a bad thing. There were several times that I needed to go back a couple of chapters to clarify a couple of things I generally listen while driving or doing every day task so I don’t always give a book 100% concentration. Therefore, the complexity was partially on my listening behavior.
