About this listen
In March 2000, 20-year-old Brandon Colbeck left home to find himself on a self-proclaimed “fool’s journey.” No one — not friends or family — have seen or heard from him since, until a phone call from a man claiming to be Brandon brings the case back to the forefront. Calamity (Callie) Barnstable and her team at Past & Present Investigations have been hired to find out what happened to Brandon and where he might be.
As Callie follows a trail of buried secrets and decades-old deceptions, only one thing is certain: Whatever the outcome, there is no such thing as closure.

Well written and as impeccably researched as all of Judy Penz Sheluk's books, this one is a roller coaster ride that explores the dynamics of dysfunctional families and the heartbreak of not knowing what ever happened to a missing family member.
A cozy mystery that's not quite so cozy, this was a thoroughly enjoyable read, compassionately and expertly read by Karen Satter.

There was a different narrator for this book and at first I wasn't sure I liked her. Only because I was used the previous narrator, but by the end of the book I had forgotten the difference in the voice, and she did quite a good job.
