About this listen

From Michael Peterson of TV’s Bones comes another twisted murder mystery that takes place in the small town of Jakob’s Point, where there are more members from the Witness Protection Program than anywhere else in America. When the Federal Marshal, the only person who knows the true identities of the residents of the town, turns up dead, and his records are destroyed, FBI Special Agent Alice Wheaton gets swept up in the investigation. In Jakob’s Point, where everyone is a witness, and everyone is a suspect, Alice must use her secret weapon – forensic listening – to find the killer. As she probes, she’s compelled to confront her own unresolved past trauma. Can Alice uncover the truth in a town full of lies? And can she do it before the killer comes for her?

This haunting audio thriller was produced by Best Case Studios, starring Emily Deschanel (Bones) and Ken Leung (Industry).

Exciting murder mystery

Decent voice actors.
A clever premise, which seems wasted on such a short piece. Could have been far more interesting as a novel, and with a more intricate story.
All the same, for a short piece, this was a decent break between novels.

A good little interlude
