Publisher's summary

A long-unsolved mystery gets a grim new break when the bones of Kim Ward are unearthed in Las Cruces, New Mexico, 45 years after her disappearance. Suspicion swiftly falls on her old college boyfriend: none other than retired police chief Kevin Kerney.

The chief's hopes of clearing his name look bleak in the face of damning evidence compiled against him by State Police Lieutenant Clayton Istee - Kerney's own son. Left grasping for clues, with no alibi and not a single witness to speak for him, Kerney and his wife must race to reconstruct long-past events to identify the one person who can clear his name and expose the killer before it's too late. As their investigation unfolds, they'll discover that Kim Ward's murder isn't the only crime they'll have to solve before they can put danger behind them.

Awful narration

Please have George Guidall redo this book. McLain tries too hard and sounds fake. Way off the mark.

sometimes a stretch, but good

I didn't see all the family dynamics as valid, but I read all the others in the series, so it was good enough

Not narrated by George Guidall

I have the whole series and all of the books so far have been narrated by George Guidall. Not this one. Reveals to me that I like listening to George Guidall more than I like the writing. If Guidall isn’t narrating this series anymore than I guess I’m done with it too.

Love Kerney and McGarrity. Don’t care for the narrator

Narrator makes Clayton sound like he’s from South Carolina not NM. Looking forward to the next novel.

Three Thumbs Up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This story had me guessing the whole time. The intermix of diverse characters and the native American culture touch points was balanced well. I’d love to see Clayton have his own novel centered around his world too.

Not Quite the Right Accents

Overall a decent story though not as well read as previous books read by George Guidall. Narrator made all characters sound as if a Southern accent, not quite as expected.

Great Book - Marginal Narrator

I thought McGarrity delivered as usual in this book. To me it was more like a continuation of the Kearny family sage started in Hard Country with a cold case thrown in. If you have a choice read it in book or Kindle format. Maybe it would not bother people from another part of the country, but as a native New Mexican I found myself cringing at the mispronunciations of peoples names and places. He is also very monotone. George Guidall may not be perfect but he pretty much owns the role. Audible, if he is busy get in line and wait till he can fit it in - he is well worth the wait.
