Resumen del Editor

Cameron Winter was born with a "strange habit of mind"—the ability to recreate detailed crime scenes in his imagination and dissect the motives and encounters that produced them. And after reading a puzzling news story about a wealthy family killed in a small town in the Chicago suburbs, he can't resist the chance to apply this deductive power in the pursuit of justice for the victims.

Three members of the family, along with their live-in nanny, were pulled from their burning mansion, already dead from gunshot wounds. The only survivor is a young boy whose memory of the event raises more questions than answers. The police seem happy to settle on a simple explanation and arrest the most obvious suspect—but Winter knows that obvious solutions are seldom the correct ones.

While Winter's investigation is welcomed by many, the lead detective makes it clear he not only wants Winters to stop looking for answers, but to stay out of his town altogether. Winter begins to understand why as he slowly uncovers crimes and unsavory behavior that had been ignored long before the killings, and in the process grows increasingly determined to find the real killer and expose the rot beneath the town's sanitized façade. And as the inquiry brings all-too-familiar sins to the surface, he'll have to confront his own inner demons once and for all.

Excellent, Interesting, Inspiring

Thanks Drew, for giving us a who-done-it that makes a compelling story, with spot on observations about how our cultural rot is impacting the lives of people and society. There is nobility, integrity, courage, sacrifice and forgiveness in us. It’s a sad story, but not a story lacking hope. Narrator did an exceptional job.

best of the series

this is great, best of the series probably. can't wait for the next one, and the next, and the next...

Worth the wait

I loved it. My only complaint is I binge listened and now I’m finished. I will read it again. Thank you, Mr. Klavan. When is #4 coming out? 😁

Captivating

Klavan strikes again! I listened to the audiobook and once I hit start, I did little else but listen.

Consumed while cleaning

I couldn’t stop listening to this book! I cleaned all day just to try and finish it. The story had depth and a plot. I get so sick of books that are baseless. The ones where you push through to see if it gets better, but it never does. This one is not that! From the very beginning it has a point and you want to finish to know how things end. Now I need book #4. I need to know more about Winter’s future.

Excellent writing

Highly recommend this book for anyone who loves character driven mysteries. It should be a New York Times bestseller, but the author doesn't cave to woke propaganda.

Done it again

Engaging believable thought provoking-Andrew Klavan has done it again! Just got my husband reading Another Kingdom and he is already asking where is the next copy of the sequence ! Love the narrator-well chosen for this writer

Excellent work again

This series was good to begin and continues to improve. Thanks for a great read/listen.

Great Mystery!

I love the fact that the main character is so complex. His English professor background allows for so many opportunities to intertwine references and allusions to great works. So glad to partake of such beautiful works within an enjoyable mystery puzzle.

Enjoyable Mystery

Andrew Klaven takes you down some great paths and ties it all up at the end. The mystery in this one was secondary to the main character making some personal discoveries about himself and furthering the character building. Enjoyed both the mystery and that but they felt disconnected a bit. Solid 8 out of 10!
