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.

Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the roses in front. But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door - Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house.

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.

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.

Is editing a lost art?
This was a good enough tale, but I found myself distracted by numerous narration errors. Examples: At about 2:36, the story introduces Bridget's 2-year old SON, Molly, who squeals when SHE is picked up by Evan. At about 2:50, EVAN wonders "why hasn't this Ian contacted us?, IAN muttered for the third time." I looked at the Kindle version of the book and found that these (and other) errors were not in the actual text of the book. The narrator did an otherwise good job, but she needed someone to catch these errors . Sloppy!

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!

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
