Heart wrenching brilliance

I’m a big fan of Dawn Kopman Whiddens work. It’s human and real. It’s heart wrenching and gut pulling. It’s brilliant.
The characters are so good and you are on the edge of your seat waiting for what’s next!
I will be listening to this again, as I did with her other audio books and I will also read them.
Too good not too.

Shocking

Another really enjoyable book in this series. I particularly enjoyed the reference to the first book and how the characters were developed. An excellent story full of surprises, the ending was a complete shock. I hope there is going to be a fifth book.

Dawn just keeps getting better and better

This is the fourth book in this series and I loved it more than the third which I thought was wonderful. The characters seem realist and the stories are gripping. Its an easy listening book with a gritty storyline that is not overly gory or distasteful, yet the story packs a punch and keeps you listening. I recommend the entire series for those who like easy listening with exciting stories.

KEEPS YOU GUESSING!

At first I was a bit dubious about listening to this book as I am not usually keen on American narrators! However I soon warmed to the voice and very quickly became engrossed in the story.
I also had no idea that this book was part of a series, but that really didn’t matter as it was complete on its own. I imagine you get to learn more about the characters in the rest of the series...which I shall definitely listen to at some point.
A very clever plot and thoughtfully written ... and to me, all the characters seemed to be more normal and down to earth than in some books, which made it easier to relate to them.
As with all good murder/mysteries it kept you guessing right until the end and for once I did not guess who had done it!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.

Great suspense book

First I was a little worried about listening to this book since it was a part of a series. I shouldn't have worried, it is completly stand alone. The story draws you in quickly, you get very invested in the characters and the mystery. The narration was excellent. What I liked best with this book is how it was difficult to push pause, you just had to know what came next. As soon as I finished I bought Dawns other books on audio and look forward to listen to them.

Excellent Book - But Now I Need More!

I very much enjoyed this fourth instalment of Dawn Kopman Whidden's Whitley and Keal series. The link between this book and the first is established almost immediately in the novel, which enhances the overall force of the series while it hints at the potential for character development that may or may not have taken place in the space between them.

The characters themselves are wonderfully consistent with the way they have been presented before. The relationships between individuals is emphasised, whether the bonds are those between work colleagues, romantic partners, family members or medical professionals and their patients. This book is very much about the way human beings relate to each other - with all the good, the bad and the loathsome sides of humanity revealed with no apologies.

Kopman Whidden does not shy away from the evil that exists under the thin veneer of civilised society, but she does not disregard compassion and filial love however much it is counterbalanced by the cruelty she describes.

I wish there was a book 5 in this series! The narrator made particularly good work of the female characters.

A great crime novel

Another good instalment from this author. Not hugely keen on the way it is narrated, but that's just my personal preference. Darker and grittier would suit me better. But an excellent crime novel non the less.

Great listen

The fourth book in this great series, reunites Marty, Jean and Hope once again for a fast paced thriller / mystery. With the discovery of three bodies in the woods the story takes on a number of twists and turns, putting the safety of those involved at risk. Although there were a number of stories running through, they were expertly woven together for a great read. Hopefully there will be more of this series in the future.

So much suspense

There were so many moving parts to this and it was great when it all came together. I feel that this is not the end to the story and i am holding my breath for the next volume! I really like how these books have evolved and followed on each other although you wouldnt feel like you missed something if you didnt read the preceding ones. Great series!!
