In a stifling jail cell in a hardscrabble Georgia town, Detective Lena Adams sits in stubborn silence: bruised, angry, and the only suspect in a horrific murder that left a woman incinerated beyond recognition. One hundred miles away, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver has gotten the call that his young detective has been arrested. Jeffrey's wife, pediatrician and medical examiner Sara Linton, has little patience for Lena or her dramas. Fighting a heartbreaking malpractice suit, struggling to pick up the pieces of a shattered career, the last thing Sara needs is to see Jeffrey playing Lena's knight in shining armor. Sara cannot guess that within days she herself will be at the center of a bizarre and murderous case.

Lena has fled back to the place where she grew up hard, careening back through the shadows of her past and into a shocking underground world of bigotry and rage. The man who raised her is slowly killing himself with drugs. The man who beguiled - and beat - her is reaching out from prison. And now only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies, betrayal, and brutality that has trapped her - as this powerhouse of a novel races toward its shattering climax...and a final, unforgettable twist.

Especially after Kathleen Early. I'm only on the first chapter but I'm not sure if I can bear listening to Joyce Bean for 12 hours.

TERRIBLE NARRATION

I had read the reviews and I thought people were just being a little harsh about the deeper register of the reader. This was a little distracting at the beginning and at times throughout the recording as it got so deep sometimes it was hard to hear. The reader also used a lower tone for Lena which made it confusing sometimes as who was talking. However, the worse part was the quality of the recording. It was of such poor quality it only made all the above mentioned problems worse.

The story was great though. I hadn't read this series until the Will Trent book with Grant County. I have always wondered about Jeffery and now I know.

Audio Recording Not the Best

I'm obsessed with this series and love this book (I cried at the end, so sad!). But the narrator sounded robotic and ruined some of the characters. It's definitely a shame.

GREAT STORY! Couldn't stand the narrator...
