About this listen
A taut thriller about two rural Minnesota towns locked in a deadly feud - and a teenage girl caught in the crossfire.
Linked by the Spirit River, the two towns couldn’t be more different: in affluent Barron, a powerful and secretive scientific research corporation enriches its residents, while downriver in blue-collar St. Croix, victims of that company’s carcinogenic waste struggle to survive. The bad blood between the communities escalates into open warfare when the beautiful Ashlynn, daughter of the corporation’s president, is found shot dead - and a St. Croix girl, Olivia Hawk, is accused of the crime.
Reluctantly, Olivia’s mother summons her estranged husband, Christopher, a Minneapolis lawyer, to come defend his daughter. As Christopher struggles to unravel the mystery of Ashlynn’s murder and save his own daughter, he uncovers some ugly truths that endanger the residents of both towns. And looming over everything are the chilling, apocalyptic threats from a murderous psychopath known only as "Aquarius".

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. 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. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Narrator's character voice gave away the ending!
Ah! My headline pretty much says it all. I am a Brian Freeman fan - he consistently delivers a satisfying ending that I don't piece together until right before he spells it out. However, I always get a hoot out of trying to solve the mystery! Joe Barrett is generally a good narrator (though his women and children voices are borderline creepy... and his accented characters are cringy). His natural voice is strong, clear and even soothing. I was SO disappointed in this book though because his character's voice totally gave away who a mystery person was!!! AH!! I immediately made the connection after hearing the voice and was so bummed because I would not have figured it out had I been reading the book myself. OOF. I think narrator should re-do that little portion. Kind of ruined the rest of the book for me. Otherwise, a good Brian Freeman book.

A good Read!!!!!
First, the story is simple and yet complex enough to keep you guessing.
Second, the characters are interesting and compelling.
Third, the overall structure of story is enjoyable.
My only critiquing of the book is the male reader’s female voice. Had they used a second woman to read to female characters this would be a no brainer.
Truly enjoyed it.

Exciting Mystery with Realistic Plot
Some mysteries don’t have a believable plot, this mystery did. The plot was exciting and easy to follow, the characters were beautifully developed, and the storyline kept me totally engaged. The audio was excellent…it was a terrific read. I’m so glad I listened to it. It would make a very good movie.

A little too long winded but I enjoyed the story and the narrator. It could’ve been about three hours shorter

serendipity
I had read a couple of books that I really looked forward to, and was quite disappointed with them. When I can’t count on books I look forward to, it leaves me a little sick feeling…I guess I have an audible problem. when I am tired of disappointment I look through the plus catalog. this time I found a book by an author I have read many times and enjoy. expecting nothing, I plowed ahead and found myself completely inculcated in a town feud in Minnesota.
this is a great read from so many angles, but the character development of both the introduced and mystery characters just make this a very compelling read. if I can offer any advice, it would be to not start this book if you have pressing matters. save it for a long drive or vacation. let it be savored and enjoyed from start to finish.
