Publisher's summary

A man's body is discovered in a church yard, the sign of the cross carved into his abdomen. Later he is found to be Alan Jacobs, a troubled psychiatric nurse. It seems to Jenny Cooper, Severn Vale District Coroner, this is likely to be an open and shut suicide case, but something tells her to probe a little deeper.

After another tragic death, Jenny’s suspicions turn toward a powerful new global phenomenon: the politically ambitious and intoxicatingly charismatic Mission Church of God.

Meanwhile Jenny must finally confront the demons of her past; and as her private life threatens to shatter, she faces intense pressure from all angles to cease her investigations. But to Jenny Cooper, whose whole life has been governed by deception, the truth is everything....

heavy

I like the Jenny books, this one is a little heavy for me. It has a lot to do with people taking what should be a beautiful thing in religion and making it the worst in their blindness. another incredibly well-written story. The topics of mental health, pornography, sex, and religion as taboos was well handled. The narrator continues to be wonderful.

4

This is a remarkable book. It starts simply then. I was builds with so much detail it is hard to find a place to take a break. It seems too long in some places but hang in there, the plot thickens. And delivers a well earned surprise ending.

Good Listen

I like this series. sometimes it's hard to keep up with. The good thing about Audible is you can rewind and clarify. Absolutely enjoy the reader.

Continuation of Jenny Cooper series

This installment showed developments in the main character’s own journey as a person, which I enjoyed. The plot was more complex than in the two previous books - perhaps overly complex in parts, which made the plot seem unnecessarily slow to unfold in places. It casts religious institutions in a negative, self-serving light, which may be an accurate portrayal of some churches, yet I dislike the author also conveying a negative image of faith itself. Overall, although this was a necessary book in the series for completion’s sake, it was not my favorite.

A mystery within mysteries

Sian Thomas is a favored narrator of mine, and again, “The Redeemed” proves why. Author M.R. Hall pens another complexellent and intriguing plot. I look forward to seeing more from this perfect pair. Investigating a murder and two suicides by Coroner Jenny Cooper, she is tripped and blocked by nefarious persons in this quick-paced and intricate thriller. Listen intently throughout; no multitasking here, at least not for me. This was a free Audible Plus offering. Narrative skills by Thomas are precisely presented. Didn’t expect this jaw-dropping ending. Wow! Thank you to all involved for making this available.

Okay

The story was too long. Easy to lose interest but on the whole the performance was excellent and the story was okay. Needed editing.

On a whim… amazing!

I was getting books suggested that are included in my audible account and this one came across. I read the description and thought it sounded like a book I might enjoy and downloaded it on a whim. I listened to it in depth for hours a day for several days and finished it in no time. I enjoyed it WAY more than I was expecting, especially really knowing nothing about it more than it being suggested and the summary sounding intriguing. It was intense, and in interesting ways with politics and female concerns and religion and mental illness. It included subjects hard to breach but did so in a bad ass woman main character kind of way. Totally loved it!

Excellent!

Another interesting story line very well told, so much so, that I can't do other things while listening to Hall's books, but have to fully pay attention. Narration also excellent! On to the next book in the series.

I can never get enough of these!

as always, M.R. Hall writes an addicting story of Jenny Cooper, Coroner. Sian Thomas narrates this perfectly and hooks me every time.
