Publisher's summary

Sheriff Joanna Brady must solve two perplexing cases that may be tied together in New York Times best-selling author J. A. Jance's thrilling tale of suspense that brings to life Arizona's Cochise County and the desert Southwest in all its beauty and mystery.

An old woman, a hoarder, is dying of emphysema in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In cleaning out her house, her daughter, Liza Machett, discovers a fortune in hundred dollar bills hidden in the tall stacks of books and magazines that crowd every corner.

Tracing the money's origins will take Liza on a journey that will end in Cochise County, where Sheriff Joanna Brady is embroiled in a personal mystery of her own. A man she considers a family friend is found dead at the bottom of a hole in a limestone cavern near Bisbee. And now there is the mystery of Liza and the money. Are the two disparate cases connected? It's up to Joanna to find out.

By far best Audible mystery we have listen to.

By far best Audible mystery we have listen to. My wife and I have both enjoyed this book. The story of two different communities facing murders that independently made no sense. Yet when weaved together piece by piece, character by character, and then finally drawn into one community to fit the puzzle pieces together. Which made it a pleasure to listen to.

Now to find the next Audible book to match this J. A. Jance. Sherrif Joanna Brady 5 Star mystery.

My favorite Joanna Brady Novell

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

this book draws you in to one character that I hope makes a permanent additional to Bisbee.

Another killer story by j.a.jance

I love how this author can carry and deliver successfully multiple storylines in her books. This book showcases that talent quite well. From the start to finish I stayed engaged and curious. Ms. Jance keeps the plot edgy and her characters are well rounded. I read and listen to her books often and am not disappointed. As for the narrator, Hilary Huber I enjoyed her as well. I've listened to several books that Ms Huber has done and liked them too. I hope to listen to more Jance books on my valued kindle , as I know they are worth my investment of both money and time

Engaging and Complicated Plot Line

This is a continuation of the stories about Joanna Brady and being Sheriff. The plot incorporates several different families, personalities, and plot lines to create an exceptionally good read.

It's interesting to see how authors develop their craft. J.A.Jance is certainly developing and getting better. Then, too, from past stories, I wonder how long she's been trying to get rid of one of the characters--a thoroughly disagreeable person.

Powerful

This is a powerful story. The performance is one of the best I have heard and I listen to a lot of well performed books. The story is excellent as I have come to expect from Jance. I won't forget it.

First JB novel where I wasn't impressed

Brady's ignorance of Juniors spirit and abilities were disappointing. Ended with a good twist though

Remains of Innocence

I usually love Brady novels but I had a hard time with this one as cats being hurt is something I can’t stand. Any animal really but cats? Don’t touch them!

Terrible Narrator

Where does Remains of Innocence rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was an interesting storyline but the terrible narration took away from the audio book.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator could have acted like she was enjoying reading the story. I've heard children with more emotion in their reading than this narrator.
