Traces of Guilt

De: Dee Henderson

Narrado por: Johanna Parker

Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois state police detective...mostly. She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job.

Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He, too, would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have.

When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-person cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection...possibly to a third cold case.

Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers.

Can't wait for the next one!

This is the best book I have read in a long time! Check it out!

Great read

I have read many of Dee Hendersons books and now listened to them; I have never been disappointed!

Glad when it was over

I love long stories. Like over 10 hours. Helps me to 'know" & care about the characters. But this one ... no. The author over-explains, and throws in trivial, unessential details I could not care less about. She can repeat herself. Then the characters were unbelievable. You've got a character named Ann I think who is like a wise Yoda, expression sage counseling. Like all the time! I really don't remember the ending at all. I just wanted it to be done.

Very intense but worth the angst

The narration was excellent. My main criteria for narration is that if it basically disappears into the story it’s perfect, and that’s exactly what happened here. This story was almost too real in its way of presenting the sadness involved in so many crimes, especially cold cases. I really like the puzzle solving aspect and the myriad of possibilities different facts and puzzle pieces bring to mind in the investigators’ minds. Lots of twists and turns and human emotions.

Good story, bad narration

I really like what I was able to listen to of the story. Unfortunately we were unable to continue because we could not stand the narrator 's style
