About this listen

In New York Times best-selling author Kay Hooper's novel, an SCU team investigates a troubling string of disappearances. But how do you find someone who has vanished without a trace?

Something strange is happening in the small mountain town of Serenity, Tennessee. People going on routine errands never reach their destination. It's as if they simply disappear. Over the past few weeks, it's happened to five men and women - and now a child.

The local police chief calls the FBI, and a team from the Special Crimes Unit is immediately sent in. Agents Lucas and Samantha Jordan, partners in work and in life, have very different abilities. Samantha is clairvoyant and Lucas possesses a unique ability to find the lost or abducted. With them are new partners Dante Swann, a medium, and Robbie Hodge, a telepath.

The town is already on the edge of panic, but the mysterious events take a sinister turn when a body unrelated to the missing persons case surfaces and one of the SCU agents vanishes. Now, the team's hunt for the lost has turned into something very personal...and very dangerous.

Great build up but it ended quickly.

As usual, the reader was great. The story was also engaging and entertaining. I like the characters but it seems like the story was just too quick with a lot of build-up with the end coming in just such a short amount of time. Next thing you know the book was over. maybe I was just wrapped up in the story but as we always get from Ms Hooper a nice story, good characters, and it kept my attention.

Good until the end

I really enjoyed this book. The story kept me interested until the very end. Don't bother trying to figure out who the bad guy is though. She reveals a brand new character at the end of the book.

Fear of the Dark

I really like the Bishop series. My wife listened with me. She said of all the books in the series this is her favorite. Some of the abilities in this book are similar t things I could d when I was younger. Knowing what people were going to say before they did. Knowing what my wife would look like and what state she was born in ten years before we met..

Surprising

I did not realize this book was short. Simple setting, but eerie and full of suspense. Best one yet. Joyce Bean is the best narrator in this series.

Suspenseful Psychic Mystery

As a general rule I'm not big into psychic or occult books but Kay Hooper has such s good writing style and perspective that her books come off as very believable.
This is one of the new Bishop Files series books which goes back to before previously written books. It's kind of nice because it gives background to some of the characters I have read about but had no background.
In this book townspeople have started to disappear after dark. The kidnapper has abilities that confound the special investigators but in the end you know who comes out on top but there is a sad and surprise of an ending.
Joyce Bean narrates most of Kay Hooper's books and as always does a fantastic job.
Very very good and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This book will remind you why we fear the dark!

I love this story just like all the rest of them! I miss the partner connect In this one a bit but not enough to miss up and excellent read! It was creepy on a basic primeval level. Loved the new characters! Even though I miss Hollis! Can't wait for the next chapter!

First do no harm

This series is not for me although the author is a good one, the subject matter just is just not my genre. Narrator, Joyce been is excellent in the story, which was why I purchased it.
If you like characters that are in the psychic realm then this series is for you.
Where my comments of help?
