Every Deadly Suspicion

By: Janice Cantore

Narrated by: Jeannie Sheneman

Thirty years after a federal agent and two suspects disappeared in the wilderness, the case is cold, and they’ve never been found. Now their suspected killer is about to go free. But is the truth really what it seems?

In Dry Oaks, California, Chief of Police Hanna Keyes has long believed her father, Joe, is a murderer, justly imprisoned. When she’s told he’s dying and is being given compassionate release from prison, she wants nothing to do with him. But taking him in might be Hanna’s one shot at cracking the cold case, so she reluctantly agrees to oversee his care.

Joe’s arrival in Dry Oaks seems to set off a chain reaction of crimes. Then an infamous true-crime podcaster comes sniffing for information, and Hanna’s first love, Jared, shows up just when she least needs the distraction. As Hanna tries to convince Joe to reveal what he knows about the missing persons, evidence in the cold case surfaces at a suspiciously rapid pace . . . suggesting there’s more to the murders than people thought.

With Joe’s strength failing, Hanna and her colleagues look for answers, not only about the past but also about recent criminal dealings in Dry Oaks. As the puzzle pieces start to fit together, it becomes clear that there’s a sinister plot at work, far more wide-reaching than anyone suspected, and that someone is desperate to silence the truth at any cost.

Great listen

The author did a great job building a whodunit story. There were lots to the storyline and pieces of the puzzle that caught me by surprise. I’ve read other reviews that characterized each chapter as “going to church”. There are over 50 chapters and maybe 5 chapters mentioned faith. The lack of swearing and sex made for a relaxing listen. The narrator was great to listen to.

Too preachy

I wanted to find out about the old mystery, but the constant Christianity messages were presumptuous

Too much religion for me

Good storyline but boring and too many bible quotes. I was looking for a good mystery.

Every chapter felt like a church sermon

The constant sermons, bible verses and prayers really killed the story. It was so over done. No thank you.
