Dead Giveaway

By: Brenda Novak

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

The Reverend Lee Barker went missing 19 years ago. And the people of Stillwater, Mississippi, believe they know why. They're convinced he was murdered by his stepson, Clay Montgomery. But only Clay, his mother, and sisters can say for sure. They were the only ones there that fateful night, the only ones who know what really happened. And they're not talking.

Allie McCormick is a cold-case detective from Chicago. After a particularly difficult divorce, she's returned to Stillwater with her 6-year-old daughter to find the peace she once knew in her hometown, and to work for the local police force while she's starting over. But when Clay's powerful enemies join forces to put him behind bars, Allie feels duty bound to uncover the truth. Her instincts tell her he didn't murder the Reverend Lee Barker.

Maybe Clay's a dark and brooding man with more than his share of secrets, but he was just 16 at the time. And he's not a cold-blooded killer. At least, that's what Allie believes, until she finds proof that behind the preacher's pious demeanor lurked the heart of a monster. Then she has to ask herself whether justice has already been done.

Suspenseful

Would you consider the audio edition of Dead Giveaway to be better than the print version?

Yes,

What did you like best about this story?

Still Clay, although the other are good as well. Glad he was able to find someone to care about him

What does Christian Rummel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Christian Rummel made the book so real. I will find others that he as read-. He did a stupendous job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Almost, if I had had the opportunity and time, I would have

Awesome sleeper

I just stumbled upon this book by accident. I love the narrator and so gave it a try. This was a great book. Can’t believe others slammed the narration. It was the best I’ve heard since Christian Fox. Book kept me to the end in suspense. However the reckoning of the mystery was not quite what I’d pick. It still was Awesome. Definitely worth a credit

A rare treat

This is one of the few books I've found that works well as both a crime story and a romance. The narrator's excellent job is just an added bonus.

Great book!

I just got this the other day and I'm almost finished with it. It's a great book and her style reminds me a lot of Nora Roberts.

I chose this for something different and I'd never heard of her before but the reviews were good. So I figured I'd give it a shot, and I like the reader.

My only complaint is that this is the 2nd book in the series and the first one I listened to. I ordered the other two from the library and plan on reading them ASAP.

I wish the other books were read by the same man but I'm still going to give them a shot. It's hard for me to wait and use my credits to order then and not purchase them sooner, even now, my fingers itch to order.
