About this listen

When word gets out that former Boston homicide detective Reid Sylver can talk to the dead, the FBI solicits her help on a serial murder case. Reid has only one condition: The FBI must let her run the investigation with Detective London Gold and the rest of her team by her side.

London’s resilience is put to the test when she’s abducted by the killer they’re hunting. The one thing she has that his other victims didn’t is a close-knit team of detectives who are willing to color outside the lines of the law to find her. Pressure mounts as Reid hits one dead end after another. The clock’s running out, and her team’s fresh out of ideas. There’s one tool left in Reid’s investigative arsenal. But using it scares her almost as much as losing the woman she loves.

loved it

I absolutely loved this series and with the tease of a new team member and a slightly different focus, I can only hope that means future books to come. These were m first books by this author but they won't be my last. 5 stars all the way. Make sure you read book 1 first.

Team Work is Unbeatable

Detectives Sllver and Gold are solid partners and have mostly recovered from the trauma of their first case. Now the FBI wants their help with a serial killer who leaves no evidence and is totally under the radar. His latest victim is the wife of Deputy Director of the FBI. A thriller and great story.

Loved

I ABSOLUTELY loved this book. It's a fantastic sequel with the same awesome characters. I LOVED the storyline, it had suspense, humor and some spice. I love the MC abilities to speak with the dead, it makes the story that much better. I've read all of of Miss Larkens books, and this one is my favorite. Keep them coming, hopeful this series will continue.
Narrator was very good.

Nice continuation to book 1

it was awesome to continue the story with all the characters, getting to know the guys from the precinct better. I found a few holes in the cop side of things but overall an OK 2nd book. I did enjoy the first one slightly more. The narrator was OK too.

Good story

This was a good story with good MC. The plot was very intense from the get go. Not very impressed at all with the FBI who basically set London as bait for the killer. Good narration like on book one. Here’s hoping there will be a sequel.

Not as good as the 1st book

I enjoyed the 1st book more even with the holes in the cop logic and it was worth the credit to listen, this 2nd book however had even more holes and they were harder to ignore. There were holes in the romance and cop logic in this one for me and so it was a lot less enjoyable.

The way London was putting so much pressure on Sylver to forgive her grandmother in my opinion was unfair. Londons excuse for keeping her ex a secret didn’t make sense, honestly I’m not sure why that guy had to be her ex in the story it didn’t even really provide much to the story except make Londons and Sylvers relationship more unstable. Sylvers temper tantrum over the secret ex I think was a tad bit overdramatic for her character. There were multiple times where they told each other that they fully trusted the other but then their actions later didn’t really portray that fact.

The cop logic had soooo many holes. I enjoy these cop themed stories because it’s like a puzzle I try to figure out in my own head along with the story. The way the cops went about this one didn’t really have a lot of logical sense beyond it so it wasn’t really easy to follow along with it. Like when they first get the info on the case at the beginning and they are all brainstorming from only files of the victims they concluded that the killer is handsome but has a disfigured or ugly small penis. In both books in this series the cops have a habit of pulling an idea or theory from thin air and just running with it. I think the author maybe tried to get past that with giving Sylver her new ability of just knowing random things but 1 that ability is kind of lame and 2 other cops were also doing it so even with the excuse through Sylver it still doesn’t fully work.

The narrator was ok but read every single sentence and word as if it was a thrilling action scene and it got really annoying since she continued to do it throughout both books.

In conclusion, the 1st book was better and worth the listen but the 2nd book for me wasn’t worth it. If you like this theme, a better series Call of The Dead by Ali Vali would be my recommendation instead of listening to the 2nd book in this one. There aren’t any special abilities but the narrator is better and the cop logic makes sense throughout and Seven has a similar attitude as Sylver.

Okay story - Off the rails morally at the end.

Pros: Pretty humorous lines, when they land. Super engaging when it actually gets going... when it does.

Cons: Too much humor and not enough movement in the story. It's a short 8 hours so wasting it on throw away jokes and meh "love scenes" is a shame.

Reid is a woman-child, more fragile than a sugar cube in a hurricane.

Typical Lesbian conflict. If you know, you know.

Always have to wonder if women authors notice when they're being sexist.. Or is it's just a "right" we women have. Too much of it is eye-rolling.

The lack of urgency and using a sex drought issue is a weak plot B device, so to speak.

Narrator. For someone of the Boston area, she and everyone else lacks an accent of any sort. The fry she affects is grating and kind of story killing.

Enough with the cis.

And the dropping of the FBI was jarring and meh.

Final Thought: The ending was so morally out of character for the MC and team. Off the rails ending left a bitter taste.
