The Innocent Stranger

Carson Reno Mystery Series, Book 20

By: Gerald Darnell

Narrated by: Tom Lennon

All Carson Reno Mystery Series books are stand-alone novels. It is not necessary to listen to them in any particular order.

A man has disappeared while duck hunting, and things surrounding his disappearance are troubling.

Carson has been hired by an insurance company to resolve a $1.5-million-dollar life insurance claim, but things get quickly complicated. Bodies appear, and it seems that these deaths might be connected to the missing hunter - but how?

Facts reveal that the missing man’s job as an independent truck driver is linked to his disappearance, and perhaps to the mysterious murders. Carson’s investigation unearths some very unusual characters, along with a wife who appears to be interested in everything but finding her missing husband.

Conflicts with the Memphis police are getting in the way of the investigation, and the urgency is escalated when another body is discovered.

This case has more twists than a large bag of pretzels, and just when it seems to be going in the right direction - it changes.

Join our cast of characters and come along to help Carson find the clues, search for the truth, and try to solve the case of The Innocent Stranger.

greed and karma

I love that for all Carson has been through, he still has a good heart and a soft spot for humanity (ie: Vera/soiled dove). I like when a good double cross takes unexpected turns and traps still get sprung. Lots of action and intrigue . I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator brings a special spark to this series and makes it very enjoyable and a pleasure to listen to.

Carson and crew are always a pleasure to visit

Carson Reno is nothing if not predictable. Same hang outs, same cohorts. Like visiting an old friend.

For me the narrator is Carson Reno. I think I would get confused if I ever heard him do anything else.
