You Can Tell Me

Olivia Cruz, Book 1

De: Melinda Leigh

Narrado por: Mandy Figueroa

Crime writer Olivia Cruz is drawn into the dark secrets of a missing friend in a terrifying novel of suspense by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

On the three-year anniversary of true crime writer Olivia Cruz’s horrific kidnapping, she’s scheduled to walk her podcaster friend Zoe March through the crime scene, but Zoe fails to show. Olivia knows Zoe would never stand her up—not today.

Zoe’s husband, who claims she never came home the night before, has reported her missing. But marital conflicts make the police suspect she has left him. Olivia thinks otherwise. The police aren’t looking for Zoe, so Olivia begins her own investigation. Retracing her friend’s last steps, she finds Zoe’s phone and a text with one chilling word: Run.

It soon becomes apparent that Zoe has been keeping secrets, and with her true crime podcast, there’s no telling what she has unearthed. To find her, Olivia must dig into her friend’s past. Did Zoe vanish to escape a killer, and is Olivia walking into a deadly trap?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Leigh keeps the pot boiling with constant attacks, revelations, and other mayhem.”—Kirkus Reviews

Brilliant start to a new series

Welcome back to Scarlett Falls. This new series stars Olivia Cruz, her family and friends. In this book, the story is about her friend Zoe who has disappeared. What happened to Zoe? What will happen when they find Zoe? The solo narration by Mandy Figueroa was spectacular. She portrayed each and every character perfectly.

Made for a great road trip

Listened to this on a road trip. Mysteries in mysteries in this one. You have yo wait up see if they tie together or if they are just something else that turned up in the investigation.

Audible was terrible

I loved the story but the breaks in the words listening to it made it almost unbearable. Every three words there was a space. So irritating!

enthralling

enjoyed the story, kept my interest, read in one sitting, gave low mark for narration, felt AI generated, lacked the drama, narration was monotonal with weird pauses at end of each sentence which was distracting, I prefer past narrators of Melinda Leigh books
