Summary

After a betrayal at work costs Song Kuan her job, she retreats to her friend Lucy’s idyllic family cabin on a lake in Minnesota to lick her wounds. She devotes herself to recording Ice Cold Cases, a true-crime podcast that she and Lucy cohost with the gleeful energy of obsessed fans—until an anonymous tip about a missing-person case disrupts their equilibrium. Then Lucy disappears, leaving Song alone in an unfriendly and unfamiliar town where locals don’t take kindly to strangers asking questions.

Twisty, unpredictable, and sonically adventurous, Song of the Northwoods will keep you guessing until the final showdown.

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language. Listener discretion is advised.

Good yarn a bit hokey in it plot

Lots of holes… but a good yarn and some nice sounds designs. I think the main actors did their best with a bit of a hokey script.

Dreadful!

Never heard anything so bad! Do not bother. But just my opinion. But no; it’s terrible…

Asians in MN! I loved it. The vivid sounds of Northern Minnesota totally took me there, and I was hooked into the mystery.

I was able to picture everything in my mind. I have experienced the lakes, woods, fear of bears and critters, too many bugs, canoeing many years ago, and that lonely plaintive loon! And it was a great mystery well told! Congrats, Jessica and all!

interesting plot and nice ending

This was an interesting story. It started off kinda slow but then became more interesting as a story went on as more characters were introduced. I like the ending and and the fact finding that led up to the ending. I would recommend this audio book
