About this listen

A Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestseller.

In book two of the multimillion-copy bestselling series, fearless attorney Morgan Dane and her partner take on a disturbing disappearance...

Young mother Chelsea Clark leaves the house for a girls’ night out...and vanishes. Her family knows she would never voluntarily leave her two small children. Her desperate husband - also the prime suspect - hires Morgan to find his wife and prove his innocence.

As a single mother, Morgan sympathizes with Chelsea’s family and is determined to find her. She teams up with private investigator Lance Kruger. But the deeper they dig, the deadlier their investigation gets. When Morgan is stalked by a violent predator, everything - and everyone - she holds dear is in grave danger.

Now, Morgan must track down a deranged criminal to protect her own family...but she won’t need to leave home to find him. She’s his next target.

Morgan and Lance have another Dark Case to Solve

Pressing onward through the Morgan Dane series after pausing to go back for the earlier Scarlet Falls trilogy to have the stories the Morgan Dane series was based on, I was ready for competent lawyer and widowed mom, Morgan, to solve another heinous crime to help defend her new client. Naturally, I appreciated having the ready and able former cop, Lance Kruger at her side as they fight evil.

Her Last Goodbye is book two in the Morgan Dane series and could be read out of order, but does work best doing them in order so relationships, characters, and earlier situations that are present and talked about make sense.

Morgan and Lance are hired by the husband of a missing woman. Tim is distraught that he's being investigated by the sheriff's office when his wife is still missing. Morgan is still struggling with her role as defense attorney and worrying that she is not defending someone innocent, but she does want Chelsea found for the sake of the kids and even Tim since her gut tells her that he's innocent. Meanwhile, Chelsea is doing what she can to get away from a fiend and back to her husband and kids while other missing women are turning up in and around Scarlet Falls.

I was struck in my first Morgan Dane story about how tough and smart she is while not losing her poise. She lost her cop dad in a shooting when she was a kid, then she and her siblings are raised by her granddad whose health is failing now, then her military husband died doing his duty, and she is just now getting back on her feet again only to find herself not prosecuting criminals anymore. Her family heritage is law enforcement three generations and all of her and her siblings, but now she finds herself uncertain if defense attorney is going against all that. She really does care that she not defend a criminal. At the same time, she's coming out from under her load of grief to find that she has a second chance at love if she is brave enough to put her heart on the line again. It is complicated in that her three girls are her priority and Lance has his own past that keeps him from rushing into a relationship. Lance's dad disappeared and never came back causing his mom to spiral into mental illness so that she can't leave her house and she struggles with hoarding and letting others near her. Lance is also learning to be at peace with having to leave the local police force after his leg never fully recovered from a shooting injury.

So much layering, and then there is the current case of the missing woman. The pace and tension in this book was palpable with Chelsea trying to find a way out of her situation and Morgan and Lance racing the clock to find her. They aren't getting much cooperation from the sheriff who resents their presence in HIS investigation. The case is tough and they really have to grind it out to even produce one clue let alone the trail to Chelsea. And, its not like their own safety is certain when Morgan gets in the crosshairs of an abusing ex she has to serve papers to and a brutal sex offender who comes up as a suspect in their current case. Lance is there to assist, but he totally respects Morgan so he works hard to keep his fears for her safety in check so they can do their jobs. I was riveted.

Cris Dukehart's narration work is still a strong and welcome reason why I love this series. She had a large cast and she gave them all individuality and had the right touch with tone of the story.

And, I no sooner finish than I want to grab up the next book in the series of this addicting and gritty romantic suspense series.

Kindle Unlimited with Narration

I was on pins and needles waiting to start this. I have never been much for mystery. But author's like Melinda Leigh and Amanda M. Lee are slowly changing that for me. I'm also enjoying narration and the expression through voice it add to the book!

Great Series to Get Hooked On, Love the Characters

This is the second book in the Morgan Dane series and it was just as enjoyable as the first (Say You’re Sorry). It has a little bit of everything in it, but always is deep in a mystery.
I carried my phone around at home, doing all my housework while “reading a book”.
I’m excited to start the third one, “Bones Don’t Lie”.
This was my first Audible book.

My New Series

Bought book two on a “daily deal” and decided to spend the credit on book one.
So happy I did. Heading online to purchase book three.
This is a good mystery and thriller. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be gory as I started listening but that didn’t last long. Glad I continued reading. Wasn’t sure “who done it” through most of the read. The last few chapter were good. Definitely recommend this book. Story and performance were very good. Five stars for all.
