About this listen

From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes the riveting return of crime analyst Vera Boyett, fighting for justice—and her life—amid her Tennessee roots.

Vera Boyett is a master at cracking a case.

After tragedy destroyed her career as deputy police chief, she felt lost. Moving back home near her sisters, she put her skills back to use as a crime analyst, and now her star is finally back on the rise. Vera’s work really begins to heat up after the local sheriff, Gray “Bent” Benton, calls to ask her for assistance with a pressing case.

Pushing aside their complicated past, Vera agrees to help Bent search for a missing reporter. But their investigation uncovers an improbable connection to the Messenger, a serial killer she put behind bars twelve years ago. The killer, who is dying of cancer, wants his final revenge. And the reporter is merely a distraction—Vera is his true target.

When the Messenger pulls her sister Eve into his twisted game, Vera vows to stop him for good. But can she find Eve and the reporter before it’s too late?

although this was not a bad story and the backstory between sheriff bent and Vera is a good one. this lacked the twist and turns and surprises that her other series, Finley O'Sullivan, has. I had just finished that series and figured that this one would be just as good but it wasn't. there was no twist of who did it, you can see it from the beginning of who the culprit was and I was just along for the ride.

disappointing

I can just feel how Debra Webb pours her heart into her books. Her characters are relatable, and her stories are always entertaining.
I am sure I am not the target audience for most of her books, but she never fails to bring an interesting story with an unexpected twist or two.'Closer Than You Know' had too much of a Harlequin's romance for me, but it was an enjoyable book. The audible book performed by the talented Elise Arsenault is very good.

Elise Arsenault gives an outstanding performance.
