Lancaster Falls, Book 2

By: RJ Scott

Narrated by: Sean Crisden

Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

Losing his brother has shaped Drew to become the man he is today - heartbroken, alone, but determined to make a difference in the world. Joining the military, fighting battles in places that he's never even heard of, is his attempt to make amends for telling his brother to go to hell. After his brother disappeared, he'd clung to the hope Casey was out there living his life. Of course, he'd be furious at Drew, and probably hate his brother, but at least in Drew's head, Casey was safe.

One call changes everything. Coming home to Lancaster Falls to bury his brother is a nightmare made real, and Drew has nowhere to run from the pain.

Logan has made a home in Lancaster Falls. As a police officer, he plays by the rules, and he would never think of working off-the-grid. All that changes when an anonymous tip crosses his desk, and he is thrust headlong into solving a 100-year mystery that could be connected with the modern day death of Casey McGuire. Fighting an attraction to Casey's brother is hard enough, but the infuriating man is there at Logan's every turn, interfering with the case, breaking the rules, and demanding that Casey's story be heard.

Contains mature themes.

A bit Repetitive you know I

You know I think the series is really quite good but I have a problem with just the length of nothing getting done and the MCS constantly circling each other. I mean I get that it's a small town I get that they're constantly walking around listening to small town gossip I get that it takes time to get results back from different government facilities such as the coroners office. But after one book and three and a half hours into this one and like I said the two MCS are still dancing around each other I'm getting a little bit aggravated. There is absolutely no movement even the storm that's on the horizon from the beginning of the book is still... ON THE HORIZON. I might scream if I hear Drew say one more time "I here to find out what happened to Casey".
Okay, one hour and thirty minutes left and nothing not a single answer, again absolutely no movement, just words, the same ones over and over an d over and over. Like I said really really really really really repetitive. I am so frustrated because this could have been so much more.

Great story. Great narration.

This book continues the story from What Lies Beneath, but focuses on different characters.

The mystery continues to develop in this second book. The author is pulling this story into an even darker direction.

I liked the darker theme of this series, and the plot is intriguing. The characters are interesting, and the setting is perfectly creepy.

RJ Scott rarely focuses on one couple for more than a single book. If you enjoy reading about new relationships and an underlying dark mystery, I recommend this series.

What an ending!!!

Normally I don’t like cliffhangers, but this one was so worth it! It made me sad, made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and made me laugh! I did not see that coming. The ending revolves around the ongoing mystery, not the HEA, which I was happy about. The mystery should go on, because it’s not easily solved. But when a romance is left hanging, it just seems contrived.

I did what I did at the end of the first book in the series - I immediately bought the next book. I haven’t read RJ Scott before, but I’m a fan! And Sean Crisden, what can I say? He is fantastic. I am always disposed to reading a book if he is the narrator.

I haven’t talked about the particulars of the book, but don’t worry, just read it! I was completely drawn in to the story and the people. I have to see how it ends - right now!

loved it - solid 4.5 stars (darker than the first)

📖 Would I listen to it again: absolutely ✅ Did the story keep me engaged: completely ✅ Was I invested in the characters: totally ✅ This story went really fast! The characters are interesting, the pace was good and the over-arching series plot is intriguing as more pieces of the puzzle are revealed. This story is darker than the first one, Drew's pain and anger is evident throughout the whole story and Logan is a tough cop on the outside with a soft compassionate centre - together they make an explosive couple. I'm really enjoying getting to know the residents of Lancaster Falls.

🎧🎧 Sean Crisden is among my favorite narrators. He's a master storyteller and his rhythm, cadence of voice, the way he builds tension and makes clear what is inner monologue, are all present as he brings 'Without A Trace' to life. Each character had his own voice and personality which comes through clearly in the narration (Drew's pain and anger was palpable!). 👍👍

Bring on book 3. 😊

Great plot

The plot was great and left my jaw dropping at the end. As far as the main characters, I didn’t feel the connection and I’m not sure where they stand with each other at the end.

Great Plot

This series has an amazing plot that weaves through all three books while introducing a different couple in each book. Here it’s Drew and Logan, my fave of the trilogy. Strong characterization and superb narration.

Wow

This is the second book in the series. Both books are amazing. You have to listen in order to make sense of it. The murder mystery is exciting. The characters are loving guys. You have sympathy for them and all they go through. Wonderful listening.
