About this listen

In this riveting novel from award-winning author Shannon Baker, a Nebraska county sheriff’s wife investigates a murder - and her husband is the prime suspect.

When Kate Fox receives a late-night phone call, her seemingly perfect life on the Nebraska prairie shatters in an instant. Eldon, shirt-tail relative and owner of one of the largest cattle ranches in Grand County, has been killed. Kate's husband, Ted, the Grand County sheriff, has been shot and may never walk again. And worst of all, Ted is the prime suspect in Eldon’s murder.

Desperate to clear Ted's name, Kate throws herself headlong into the hunt for the real killer. When she finds herself the victim of several mysterious “accidents”, she knows she’s running out of time. If she doesn’t find out who killed Eldon soon, she - or someone else in town - may be the next to turn up dead.

But a shocking confession throws everything into doubt, and as Kate keeps digging, she unearths unfathomable secrets - the kind worth killing for.

A gripping story of crime and retribution in the Midwest. I liked the people and the story was engaging and unpredictable. I’m buying Book 2!

The book entertained sufficiently to engage me on the long drive from home to London. It also left me slightly curious about the next book in the series.

It was an enthralling read without being too taxin

First time reading this author and I've been pleasantly surprised. Great plot, well rounded characters and really good narration.
This is a series that I shall continue to enjoy and I can recommend that you do the same!

Great listen !

I hadn’t come across this author / narrator before. I live in UK, near Stonehenge, and so it was fascinating to hear about a totally different landscape, culture, and weather! I loved the narrator’s accent and the hokey sayings, although I suspect some of them were so folksy they must have been made up - or maybe not? The plot was very good too, and although the heroine was sometimes irritating, the story held my attention. I enjoyed it so much, I’m just about to start listening to Book 2!

Really enjoyed Book 1

Admittedly I was a captive audience due to a leg injury but this proves my point. If I hadn't thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing I would have quickly been searching for another channel. I selected this book at random from the "included" section on Prime as I wasn't in the mood for the contents of my library. How surprised I was. A tale which doesn't follow the usual formulae, isn't "polity correct" as both male and female characters are presented as good, and and indifferent. It comes from an area of America which defies the pattern, a wilderness close knit community instead of the usual urban jungle. The characters are fleshed out in human form and resemble families and relationships found all over the western world. Pity a certain Harry didn't read this! The storyline is excellent and has a twist in the tale. I will certainly buy the second book in the series.

I finished it in one go!

I liked Kate Fox from the off and her complex family. The authors described the land in a way you could imagine and also want to see. Well written book. The narrator was a great choice as she seems to make Kate Fox a strong and Charla her you route for. Looking forward to listening to book 2

Likeable characters

I have to agree with previous reviews it is really miscast as a crime thriller and there are way too many characters. I had to keep skipping back over chapters to work out who was who. For a freebie it was an okay listen and I may even be tempted to buy the next in the series since the scene is already set and I spent so much time working out who the characters are!

Okay

A good first story laying the groundwork for the future books. Enjoyed the female lead character and reflected on western life in the US

Fast paced starter
