About this listen
NO WAY OUT—so says the note in the pocket of the murdered mayor.
The volcano beneath her town is seething, and the town's fate now rests in the hands of an emergency planner with a twisted agenda.
The mayor's death is personal for investigators Cassie Oldfield and Walter Shaws. This is their hometown. They are desperate to save their families and friends. Their field is forensic geology, and they know how to track mineral clues to find out where the mayor went and what she found.
As the volcano moves toward red alert, Cassie and Walter race to prevent 'no way out' from becoming a prophecy. All books in the series are standalone novels and can be enjoyed in any order.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Nonstop Excitement and Suspense
This is actually my first book of Toni Dwiggins, and I am HOOKED. I love that this series can be read in any order without feeling like you've lost something... because I haven't listened to the first two--but I will now, because holy guacamole, this was a good ride.
I'm not going to get into the plot too much. An important person dies and is found in a place they shouldn't be considering the condition of the body. Now it's up to the forensics teams to figure it out, and since she was found in the snow, near a volcano that's edging toward eruption, that means a geology team is part of the crew. You don't have to know or love rocks to love this story. Dwiggins does a great job of explaining the methods without it being boring, and it's actually fascinating. A lot of research and love when into this story and it's obvious. The mystery is very compelling and it keeps you gripped because you think you know who it is, and then you aren't so sure, and then you're REALLY sure, but something else happens and you second guess it again. It's like that through the whole thing. And then the Volcano starts to come into play and things get REAL crazy. There are bears, avalanches, quakes, explosions, and so much more. It's a harrowing climax that goes on for half the book, until you aren't sure you'll even come down from the high of it. The volcano is such an excellent backdrop for the story that is taking place. This book is incredibly well thought out and has had so much love and intention poured into it, I can't wait to read more of Dwiggins' work.
The narration was heartfelt and intense. I was there with the characters every step of the heart pounding way. Nellie Scott did a beautiful job of giving each character their own voice and attitude and lending the right amount of emotion into every scene to keep me gripped. I also just love her voice, it's very soothing. Which is nice in a story that kept me so on the edge of my seat lol
Highly recommend.

It is so fun to read a good mystery/thriller in which pyroclastic flows and lahars are part of the story! Good story and narration too.

Thrilling and Exciting!
This one is amazing! I am Loving this story! Volcanoes are intriguing to me since I don't live near them. I have never had to be aware of what can happen and what the public needs to do. This story involves a suspenful thrilling plot. I loved learning about all the volcano and what it can do but also following along with a murder and trying to figure out the whys of that. This really held my interest and kept me going more so near the end when everything gets C-R-A-Z-Y!
This is a well crafted book that I struggled to figure out the “who done it” factor. So that makes me love it all the more!! I am so glad I grabbed this one!
I listen to this on audio. The narration is done by Nelly Scott. She does a great job and really helped. Keep me invested.

Loved this!
This is the second book I've read/listened to by Toni Dwiggins. I enjoyed this even more. I was completely immersed into the story trying to figure out who was guilty. I kept getting thrown off. We see Cassie and Walter again and get to know them a little bit better. Love these characters. A wonderful suspense story that has me wanting more!
Nellie Scott is an excellent narrator. She voices female and male voices well, bringing the book to life, rolling like a movie in my head. Perfection.

Captivating!
This is the third book in the Forensic Geology series. This series is captivating. The characters are well developed, and intriguing. The world building is entertaining, complex, and suspenseful, filled with danger, mystery, intrigue, and twists and turns. Nellie Scott did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Skeleton Sea, the next book in the series. #PFPAudio

Exciting Story!
This is the second book in the series that I listened to and enjoyed it better than the previous one. This book was very exciting and kept my interest all the way through. I really like Cassie and Walter’s characters and I enjoyed getting to know more about them and more about Cassie’s family and friends. As the search goes on about who killed the Mayor and more is found about the volcano that is going to erupt, there is so much going on in the book, I enjoyed following along trying to figure out who all they guilty parties were. This was full of excitement and had some sadness and I look forward to the next book. The narration by Nellie Scott was great and made the book enjoyable to listen to.

A scientifically accurate volcano thriller = my wish come true!
I absolutely loved this earth science-based mystery/thriller. As a geologist and geographer myself, I really appreciate that all the geographic details and 95% of the geologic details are accurate! I was blown away by the excellent research by the author. I just wish that the book had mentioned chain of custody forms for evidence, which would make the forensic geology consultant side of things sound completely professional. The books in this series can be enjoyed in any order. Violence and a few sexual references are brief and are mild to moderately graphic.
A forensic geologist heroine named Cassie Oldfield is trying to solve murders in her home town of Mammoth Lakes, CA, while the Long Valley Caldera is rumbling to life threatening a volcano evacuation! The story sometimes seems a little long-winded, but all of the people and conversations end up being pertinent to the twisty mystery plot. Cassie is intelligent, determined, loyal, and courageous. Cassie’s manner of verbal confrontation sounds a bit strident and petulant, but I got used to it. She isn’t perfect, but she is a fascinating and an excellent mystery/thriller sleuth. I can’t wait to devour the entire Forensic Geology series!
The narrator Nellie Scott did a wonderful job. She was very good at making all the character voices distinctive. She was excellent at pacing, enunciation, pronunciation, and accents. I appreciate that the characters from California all had accents that seemed accurate. I enjoyed Nellie Scott’s alto vocal tone, and she vividly brought the book to life with her vibrant performance.
I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #FiresideAudio
