About this listen
Digging up the past can be deadly.
After years of running from her ex - a vicious Mexican drug lord - and his subsequent death, Kate Jones is ready to bury the past and try to piece together a new normal. But first there's a loose end to tie and it involves digging up old ghosts that are best left alone.
Unaware her actions have attracted the notice of a powerful enemy Kate is plunged into a deadly fight for survival, as both her life and the lives of the children of a man she once loved hang in the balance. And, with the possibility of an informant inside the DEA, she doesn't know who she can trust.
From the emerald green shores of Seattle to the lush Yucatan jungle and unforgiving Sonoran desert, Kate Jones must once again face her past... and hope she survives.

Story
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe. It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared. She never saw Mercy again. Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon. So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon - and its rider missing - Pine is called in to investigate.

Story
She is 20, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever. It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.

Story
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

What did you love best about A One Way Ticket to Dead?
I loved the unexpected turns and Kate's quirky way of looking at and describing things. I like it's all written in her voice, and I like that it is always on the move. Very engaging.What was one of the most memorable moments of A One Way Ticket to Dead?
Again, I don't want to spoil things, but Kate's reunion(s) with Sam satisfied the romantic in me. There are a bunch of other fun scenes, skydiving and battles.What does Melissa Moran bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voice is well suited to Kate's character. I think Kate would sound like her. Does the narrator change the story? That's a hard question. It's always difficult to compare reading to listening. She did a great job, if she did more it probably would have been distracting.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
This is a fun, sometimes funny, tense, fast-paced thriller. I think it's not meant to be moving. But it is a great escape, a fun world to inhabit for 5-plus hours. That feat can move me to tears if I'm doing laundry.Any additional comments?
Great descriptions, Kate has a strong character and she always stays in character.Life and death tale with hostages - fast paced
