About this listen

A fresh murder in Arizona throws a family into chaos, and unravels a decades-old mystery.

It’s been 20 years since the accident. A nighttime car crash on a desert road that left her parents dead and her sister disabled.

Now a law enforcement officer with the Arizona Rangers, Michaela Sanchez has tried to get over the guilt she feels. She’s tried to move on.

But when her brother is charged with the murder of a local activist, echoes of her family’s tragic night come crashing back.

Bound to her siblings by the shared scars of loss, Michaela will do everything in her power to prove her brother’s innocence. But as she investigates, Michaela unearths shocking information. A new version of events that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her family’s tragedy.

What really happened the night of the accident, years ago? Could her brother really have committed murder? If not, then who did?

Now Michaela is certain of only one thing. To get to the truth, she must confront the secrets of her family’s past.

Award-winning author Shannon Baker delivers a gripping new thriller set in the desert Southwest. Echoes in the Sand is perfect for fans of J.A. Jance, Nevada Barr, and Sue Grafton.

Okay, not great

I enjoyed the other series by this author so thought I would give this a try. The narrator’s voice wasn’t as strong as I think the main character was intended and that made it not as believable. Good twist at the end, but not my favorite book.

A well-written story from a good author

Echoes in the Sand (Michaela Sanchez Southwest Crime Thrillers, #1), my first read from author Shannon Baker. Enjoyable, well-written suspense. The first portion of the book moved slowly as the author developed her story & characters, giving the end away in the process, but then the book took off & I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! “I received a free Audible copy of this book in September of 2020 and lost track of it with Covid and all and I'm voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Now I need to read The Desert's Share (Michaela Sanchez Southwest Crime Thrillers, #2). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Awful character

Shannon please don’t waste any more time on this series. The lead character was as unlikable as any I’ve ever encountered! Please develop more from the Nebraska sand hills!

Dramatic narrator

Like the story but the narrator was a tab overly dramatic for my taste. I fished the book but wonder if I want to go through another.

Don’t waste your money!

I am not interested in a political left wing commentary, I can listen to the news for that. I chose this for a new series by this author. Have enjoyed other books my this author. Very disappointed!

Terrible! Don’t waste your time! The sister is awful!

I loved the Kate Fox series and was so excited to see that Shannon Baker had another series, but this book is a total disappointment. It’s full of whining, self centered behavior, the siblings all secretly hate each other.I wish I could get my credit back.
