About this listen

Lieutenant Joe Boyd takes his family on a much-needed camping trip in the beautiful lakefront woods outside of town. But a leisurely trail walk with Chance, their new dog, goes haywire when he breaks loose. When they finally reach him, he’s digging furiously. What the dog finds, turns their vacation upside down and launches Joe and his partner into a puzzling cold case homicide from the late 1980s. As they begin to unravel the evidence—aided by two women from a local writer’s group—things point to an unlikely set of culprits. Their identities—if known—would shock the entire town. Some people will do anything to keep a thirty-year-old secret from seeing the light of day. Suspense Thriller & Suspense Dogs

The way the book held my interest enticing me to move on to the next chapter

Not a fan of virtual voice. Many reading errors, such as when the medical examiner is referred to as the “ME” The virtual voice says the word me.

inconvenient

I enjoyed the book plot. Not so sure I enjoyed virtual voice. At times I was confused which character was speaking. They all sound exactly alike. At least with real human voices they try to sound different. Book was good. Enjoyed the plot.

An author to follow:

Interesting plot ideas (unique but relatable) and clearly defined characters (minimal confusion with identity, name, gender). Interwoven with exploration of Christian values (within story as a whole and through characters development.) Advise to further develop "reversal of fortune" structural element and address much earlier in storyline. Author's inclusion of Christian principles works best when showing how characters grapple with and apply Christian values in their lives -- show versus tell.

The senstive way the position and possible effect the church was handled.

Very interesting cold case. The resolution of a cold case and the sensitive manner in which the position of the church was handled. There are no perfect church members, only a Perfect God.

How I envy writers😊

Loved the play on words in title and story.
The references to Christ and handling of attitudes.
Being able to read a good story without the shock of curse words and using Gods name in vain.
Thank you

Looking forward to book 3

First off, virtual voice has improved greatly over the years and I am thankful for it because it allows me to enjoy books without taking five years to finish reading them. He gives person like myself and others with learning disabilities or visual impairments to enjoy a book filled with suspense, a little bit of comedy, and good relationships. I look forward to book 3 of Lieutenant Joe Boyd and his second in command, sergeant, Hank Jenkins uncover their next mystery. It may be the captain Pendleton will finally explain why people like them more than him which Joe doesn’t understand. I was introduced to Dan Walsh writing when I read the Jack Turner series, which is also a very good series and I like the fact that they live relationship between Jack and Joe, this spin off for Joe Boyd. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did

Good story, terrible narration

The story was was actually very good, but the artificial voice just about ruined it. There was no feeling or sense of emotion. No changing of voice tones for different characters, so it was hard to know who was speaking. I will surely avoid listening to any other books that use artificial voice.
