About this listen
Book four of the USA Today best-selling Carly Moore series.
Be careful where you dig....
Life in Drum, Tennessee has been quiet since corruption was uncovered in the sheriff’s department three months ago - too quiet. Still, Carly is shocked when she discovers one of her sweetest lunch customers at the tavern has committed murder in cold blood.
Carly is certain the woman was fulfilling an infamous “favor” for the town patriarch, Bart Drummond, but now she has to prove it. She already knew that Drum has two sides - the side they show the world, and the seedy underbelly. Only in Drum, all things seedy lead back to two men - Bart Drummond and the local drug king, Todd Bingham.
The deeper Carly gets, the more she begins to question everything, even her desire to have her own family. But even if she could forget Bart’s threat is hanging over her head, she can’t forget that her father is still searching for her, ready to drag her back to her own death. She needs to uncover the truth, but everything is buried in secrets.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Another great Carly story
Carly is getting too close to secrets in Drum. Not only is she in danger but also those she loves. I'm looking forward to the next Carly book. As usual, Shannon McManus does a wonderful job of narrating.

love Carly
In true DGS fashion, this book will pull you in, and then spit you out gasping for breath and begging for more. This is by far one of my favorites and that is saying something.
So hold on, grab a snack and settle in for the adventure that awaits you because once you start listening, you will not be able to stop.

Another amazing Carly book
This book may have ended on a cliffhanger, but that’s only made me extremely hyped up for the next book in the series. I read the book when it first released, and now, I’ve listened to the audio book to refresh my mind before the next book comes out tomorrow. I absolutely can’t wait! 🙌😆 love these books and Denise 💜

Don’t listen to the naysayers
Good grief, some people are only happy when they’re complaining I swear! This is a great stand alone series, and if you go back and read the Rose Gardner series first you’ll love it even more.
Denise Grover Swank is FAST becoming my favorite author!

The dark mysteries continue
The latest installment of Carly Moore waitress/part time detective’s complicated messy life was a wonderful blend of love, danger, humor, family drama, painful pasts, real life issues, spice, plot twists, imperfect characters, secrets, missteps, mystery, and big feels. This book picks up a number of uneventful weeks following the end of the last book. Carly is still hiding from her dangerous and powerful father and ex-fiancée and a dead car resulted in her ending up in Drum, a small town disconnected from the rest of the world. She is working as a waitress in the local bar, living with and taking care of Hank, healing from her painful past, and trying to figure out her relationship with her best friend Marco, a deputy sheriff. When a regular customer of Carly’s is charged with murder, Carly with a little help from Marco is even more determined to get evidence about Bart Drummond’s “favors”. As usual, things get messy and complicated quickly as she and Marco pull threads trying to get to the bottom of the mystery. Drum is a hot bed of gossip, lies, dirty deals, deception, and powerful men. And honest and kind people like Carly are frequently in the cross hairs. The book was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters, and an engaging storyline. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
Shannon McManus did a great job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.
