About this listen
From the bestselling author of the Detective Louise Blackwell series comes a story of two murders, twenty years apart. There’s only one suspect. But what if he’s innocent?
Twenty years ago, in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas, Annie Randall took her dog for a walk. The dog returned. Annie did not. When her body was found, cruelly broken and posed like a runner, there was only ever one suspect: Annie’s husband, Frank. Now he’s served his time and come home–but the locals won’t let him forget. Especially when there’s a new ‘running girl’ murder…
Detective Laurie Campbell remembers Annie’s case. She’s also married to the Randalls’ son. Painfully conscious of the deep wounds within her family, and still suffering from a personal tragedy of her own, Laurie takes the lead on the new investigation. As much as the finger of suspicion points to her father-in-law, something doesn’t add up. If he didn’t commit the most recent murder, is it possible he never killed Annie either? And if he didn’t, who did?
As a terrifying hurricane hits Galveston, Laurie finds herself in a dangerous race against time. Can she find the answers that could heal her broken family before the wind and the waves hide them forever?

Pretty average
Easy listening. It was pretty obvious from the beginning who would survive, who would die. There weren’t any particularly scary moments or unexpected twists, and I didn’t really care about the characters. Maybe this was, in part, because of the narration. Patricia Santomasso is quite a breathy reader, and has an irritating habit of ending many of her sentences with extra breath. And she often forgets how her characters speak, so that after a while they all sound like the same man, then suddenly a woman’s voice appears again. I wouldn’t really recommend this, but if you want something that’s not too distracting to play on a long journey or while you’re doing routine work, then maybe this would suit you.

Terrible narration
Terrible narration. Very irritating. Every character sounds like a male. Story very repetitive. I couldn’t finish it.

Modest storyline
Rather repetitive and poor narration. Overly long and predictable towards the end. Better books out there

Bought by mistake but....
I bought this by mistake as I usually only like British narration. But, thoroughly enjoyed this and would definitely look out for more in a series.
