Publisher's summary

Twenty years ago Madeline Barker's father disappeared. Despite what everyone else thinks, Madeline's convinced her stepfamily had nothing to do with it. But the recent discovery of his car finally proves he didn't just drive away. Worse, the police find something in the trunk that says there's more to this case than murder.

With no other recourse, Madeline decides to hire a private investigator - even if the cops don't like it. Even if her family doesn't like it. But when P.I. Hunter Solozano begins to uncover some shocking evidence, someone in Stillwater is determined to put a stop to Madeline's search for the truth.

And that means putting a stop to her. Permanently.

I like Brenda Novak books

Any additional comments?

It seems to me like every time I read or listen to a Brenda Novak book I like her better. This book was no exception. I read in some other reviews of this book some negative comments concerning the southern accents the narrator used. I agree that the narrator's southern accents are a bit hooky and even though I live in Idaho my wife is from Georgia so maybe I do have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about. Still with the story taking place in Mississippi maybe southern accents should be used. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any one that is in a position to hire narrators for books with a southern story line to look for a narrator that actually comes from the south. All in all this is a good book and I'll be getting some more Brenda Novak books to add to my collection.

Loved It!

Had everything I love in a series. The writing was great and I never lost intrest

Ending

The ending could have been a lot more suspenseful but it’s still a very good book.

great series

Loved all 3 books - Glad I started with the 1st and ended with Dead Right. The only thing that would have made them better was if they were all read by the same person. Once you become familiar with a character it seemes funny when they sound so different in the next book.
Which there were more to come

pleasantly surprised

I picked up this book on a whim, spent way too much time sitting in my car in the garage because I could not turn it off. Most days my hour commute was just not enough.

worth buying

Definitely need to listen/read in order. I read these years ago and still enjoyed listening.

bad southern accents

I have enjoyed this series of books. It's set in northeast Mississippi near where my daughter lives. I grew up in Mississippi and now live in Alabama. This had some of the worst Southern accents I've heard on audio. There are also many mispronunciations of geographic names. Of course, if you are unfamiliar with the area, this won't bother you. The story was good, but listening to it was not a pleasure. This is not the same narrator used in the first two books of this series.

Great conclusion

Moments of fear, sadness, happiness, and tears. This book has it all. Again, though, I HATE fake southern accents!

Great series!

I didn't think I would like these. This is the first series I read from this author and I liked them. I love it when an author can get me so wrapped up in the book that I can't set it down till it is done. Well that was the way it was with the whole series. I Just had to read the next one to see how it all turned out.

It continues with torture.

This definitely an adult novel that's hard to read as I bet it was harder to write.
Anyone who could do this to children should be disposed of. Good novel, hard to listen to and you pray for these characters who was harmed that this is all fake, knowing there is those that truly goes through this and unfortunately more.
