Loved being read to by Michelle herself. It was as if she was there with me. Excellent narrative told with warts and all.

Not worth reading

Very disappointing story line. Hard to believe Patterson wrote it. So far I’ve returned to beginning twice as it’s so disengaging I’ve no idea what had happened.

Boring with no plot. Didn’t finish

I kept waiting for some sort of coherent story line, but seems to be a series of short stories outlining the flawed justice system in US. Very disappointing.

Story
John Puller is the US Army's most tenacious investigator, but he is not equipped to face the truth about his mother's disappearance 30 years ago. New evidence has come to light suggesting that Puller's father - a highly decorated army veteran - may have murdered his wife. When Puller's friend, intelligence operative Veronica Knox, arrives on the scene, he realizes that there is far more to this case than he first thought. He knows that nothing will prevent him from discovering what really happened to his mother - even if it means proving that his father is a killer.

An well crafted story
Reviewed: 22-01-2017
Jane Harper's brings her reader into the homes and lives of people in this small country town. Story is well crafted and characters come to life. Several mysteries threaded together and slowly revealed through the now and the past. I enjoyed the narrator Steve Shanahan's reading. A great story. Dog walks became longer as I didn't want to stop listening.
