About this listen

A Wall Street Journal bestselling series.

Following a murder and a woman’s sudden disappearance, investigations into old crimes and new collide in an alarming novel of suspense by a Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author.

Detective Evan Bolton is gutted by his latest investigation. His friend and mentor, retired detective Rod McLeod, has been murdered, his body left in the trunk of a junkyard car. When McLeod’s daughter and grandson abruptly vanish, Evan knows it’s not a coincidence. Search and rescue canine specialist Rowan Wolff agrees as she and her dog, Thor, track the missing family.

The two cases converge in a puzzling twist. Evan discovers that McLeod has been reinvestigating old crimes—solved but not forgotten. Evan takes them on, one by one, and a disturbing suspicion forms that someone in law enforcement has something to hide and would do anything to keep those secrets buried.

But Evan and Rowan’s time is slipping away. They have to find the killer now. Before someone else disappears. Before someone else dies.

This is an excellent police procedural.

,I enjoyed listening to this book as I walked with my dog, Thor. It was interesting as well as entertaining. The characters were well developed and the story was engrossing.

Crazy serial killer

Gritty. Complicated plot. Loved how everyone worked together and the family pulled together. Wish we saw more of Mercy than the one teaser.

Teri Schnaubelt is a wonderful voice.

You don't appreciate a really good author until you read a book like 'The Next Grave' by Kendra Elliot. I read a lot. I enjoyed a variety of genres. I have read enough not to have high expectations with some stories. I've read several books by Kendra Elliot. This is one of her best. I also recommend the audible book performed by Teri Schnaubelt, a wonderful voice talent. -Bill

Always Worth My Time

Kendra Elliot is a "go-to" for me, any time I'm looking for a suspense novel with great characters and a touch of romance. As this series has progressed, the cast of characters has grown larger, but the original favorites pop in and out depending on the case.

This is a great series that can be read as individual novels in any order, but for people like me, it's best enjoyed when read from the beginning. Either way, they're great stories with strong characters and storylines that are well-done, twisty, and full of suspense yet not over-the-top in terms of graphic violence. If you're a fan of Melinda Leigh, these will be completely to your liking.

Very Good Book

Kendra Elliot didn't disappoint. Just didn't understand why Mercy was introduced as investigating the case but never mentioned again and never took part in the investigation.

A great addition to this series!

This series is one of my favorites. I love how the author brings back well known characters from past series in a way that enhances the story. You do not need to have listened to, or read, the previous stories to enjoy this one, but I have enjoyed them all. The only problem with the story was that Mercy and her partner become a part of the investigation, but that part of the story is kind of forgotten about. Otherwise, this story was flawless and an exciting addition!

Can his colleagues and girlfriend find him before it’s too late? This book was narrated quite wonderfully by Teri Schnaubelt. I highly recommend listening to this fabulous audiobook.

Nail-biter

The Next Grave is a real nail-biter. The last available (January 2025) book in the Columbia River series, Detective Evan Bolton faces multiple threats in his investigation of a former colleague’s death. Search and rescue canine specialist Rowan Wolff and her dog, Thor, feel helpless to assist.
