About this listen
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LIED?
The first lie: MONSTERS DON’T EXIST.
When the body of a man is discovered in the Boston Common, Martina finds herself entering a horrific nightmare. She discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of ancient methods of persecution being carried out by a Puritan-indoctrinated serial killer who believes the devil walks among us.
The second lie: YOU WOULD KNOW A MONSTER IF YOU SAW ONE.
After the first victim is dismissed as gang-related, Martina fears there is more to the murder than meets the eye. Her instincts are soon proven correct when another victim is found, her body displayed in the same gruesome manner. But Boston has dark secrets of its own. Now, the threads of the past are unraveling once again as history repeats the sins of our fathers. A time when religion reigned and the word of God was the ultimate persecutor.
The third lie: YOU CAN SAVE EVERYONE.
Just as Martina and her partner, Neil, discover the dark rituals have a link to the past, the tables are turned, and they are pitted against time to stop the "Wingmaker" before he strikes again. Martina’s faith will be tested as she fights her own demons and more bodies continue to mount. Can she stop the killer, or has the next victim already taken flight?

Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Tess reads a letter in her own handwriting, composed during a rare lucid day, explaining her life as it now exists: she was in a terrible car accident one year ago. Every morning, she wakes up unable to remember most of the last decade. Including her own wedding.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.

And then I see her fingers poking through the soil as if she’s trying to claw her way out of her grave.

Story
At first glance, Natalie Cavanaugh and Glenn Abbott hardly look like sisters. Even off-duty, Natalie dresses like a Boston cop, preferring practical clothes and unfussy, pinned-up hair. Her younger sister, Glenn, seems tailor-made for the spotlight, from her signature red mane to her camera-ready smile. Glenn has spent years cultivating her brand through her baking blog, and with the publication of her new book, that hard work seems about to pay off. But her fans have no idea about the nightmare in Glenn and Natalie’s past.

Virtual Voice Does Not Work with this Book
It is really hard to listen to this book using Virtual Voice. The chapter headings are in Roman Numerals. Virtual Voice does not recognize these and reads them out as C-H-A-P-X-X-I-V. The author also uses AAVE (?) for a couple of characters, which Virtual Voice just sounds wrong. I don't know how else to say it. I understand what the author said but it did not flow.

Great story, awful narration!
Birgitte Märgen skillfully cites scripture from the Geneva Bible and weaves in stories from the Salem witch trials, bridging present-day crimes with those of the past and offering rich context for the ritualistic killings that echo Puritan doctrine.
If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers, police procedurals, and historical crime, I highly recommend checking this one out.
The narration almost ruined this for me. I understand the economic benefits of using virtual voices, but this was not the book for it! Each chapter starts with an abbreviation for the word "chapter," followed by a Roman numeral. It’s like someone just spitting out random letters of the alphabet. The Bostonian accent was incredibly hard to follow—at least, I assume that’s what it was. I’d much rather pay for an audiobook with a narrator who enhances the story and brings it to life.

Speechless
What a crazy roller coaster of a read! When you think you have the code cracked, BAM! a twist throws you in a different direction. I really enjoyed this psychological thriller/mystery. Definitely has some sinister elements to it. (If you don’t like or can’t handle descriptions of bodies being muti1ated, this isn’t for you.) The story was well put together with great character development. This rolled through my head like a movie taking place. My first book from this author and won’t be my last!

The virtual voice
I found the use of virtual voice, totally distracting. The inflections were wrong. Some pronunciations were wrong. There was no emotion to the voice. I think it totally ruined the story for me.

Not a fan.
Spelling of chapter, number and biblical verses at the beginning of each chapter was very disruptive to the storyline.
