Deputy Mattie Wray, formerly Mattie Cobb, is summoned to Washington’s Olympic peninsula for an urgent search and rescue mission to find a celebrity’s missing child. With only a week left before her wedding, Mattie is hesitant to leave Timber Creek, but her K-9 partner Robo’s tracking skills are needed. Dense forest, chilling rain, and unfriendly locals hamper their efforts, and soon Mattie suspects something more sinister than a lost child is at play.

I enjoyed the latest instalment in this series immensely. I couldn’t stop listening. I didn’t guess the perpetrator at all. I hope we’ll get more in the series.

Story
The beautiful Isle of Anglesey has been rocked by the brutal murders of three female students at a local college. DI Laura Hart is called in to track down the murderer – who the papers have dubbed the Anglesey Ripper – before he strikes again. She quickly identifies a suspect but just as she is about to pounce, he slips through her fingers. Laura and the Beaumaris CID must pursue the serial killer across the island in an increasingly dangerous game of cat and mouse – but he’s always one step ahead of them. And soon, the hunters will become the hunted.

I loved the first 2 in this series. This one, not so much. Too far fetched and cliched. I’m going to try the next one hoping it fairs better.

Story
Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

I am enjoying Nora Roberts books at the moment. This one was quite unusual in its plot. A subject I seldom read about but enjoys the ride. I did reduce the speed and found that easier on the ear. This narrator is a little jarring.

Gosh! I couldn’t stop listening. I loved these women and was totally absorbed by the storyline, which I knew little about. I couldn’t fathom how it would resolve.
The narration was excellent and helpful.
I highly recommend this book.

Story
Detective Lauren Pengelly has only been part of the Penzance police force for less than two years, but that’s enough time to know that the sleepy Cornish town doesn’t see many murders. So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped.

Detective Anna Travis is investigating the brutal murder of a young woman whose body was discovered in the Thames, brutalised and severed in half, a red flower in her hair. With the case bearing an eerie resemblance to the famous unsolved murder case of Elizabeth Short—known as the Black Dahlia—media interest intensifies, and fears of a copycat take hold. But with almost no clues, the case is slowly going cold. That is until the killer reaches out to the press.

Reviewed: 01-05-2024
I found the narration a bit tiresome and overly dramatic. This impacts the way you feel about Langton. It’s verbal abuse to my mind. All he seems to do is yell, snap at people, (showing no leadership qualities) and behave immaturely. When are these ever qualities to seek in a lover? Then you question Anna’s attraction to him and her adoration which seems half witted. Maybe the writing doesn’t convey his power convincingly. Maybe this police procedural is a bit dated. What an unhealthy dynamic here.
