Far Gone

By: Laura Griffin

Narrated by: Candace Thaxton

The New York Times bestselling author whose Tracers series has been called “compelling,” “mesmerizing,” and “knock-your-socks-off” has a new forensic thriller sure to please fans of Tami Hoag and Karen Robards.

Police detective Andrea Finch is a rising star in her department until a split-second decision derails her career. Disgraced and disillusioned, she’s on leave from her job when she gets an urgent call from her younger brother. She’d prefer to ignore his latest plea for cash, but this time instinct tells her something is very wrong. Andrea’s search for answers takes her to a dusty Texas border town where danger lurks in plain sight and nothing is quite what it seems.

FBI agent Jon North is working undercover in west Texas, investigating an unsolved murder that may be linked to a terrorist plot. But when the evidence points to Andrea’s brother, Jon finds that persuading the stubborn cop to help will be harder than cracking his toughest case.

Andrea must find a way to do what’s right while protecting her only sibling. As the clock ticks down, Andrea and Jon race to confront a heartless killer who will stop at nothing to deliver a final, terrifying message.

Main character was not that likable

I enjoy reading Laura Griffin books but I struggled getting through this one , the main female character was not that likeable,

Tense

Very tense. Andrea was so stubborn and acted like she didn’t need another person. Loved it!

Another outstanding book by Laura Griffin.

I think I have read all her books! I do know for sure that I have read all the Tracers books! Great reading!

Not typical

I was very disappointed in this selection. It dragged on, the story was slow and I couldn’t wait to finish it. I’m hoping the next Laura Griffin book will be better.

Painful narration

This story of homegrown terrorism isn't necessarily terrible. It lacks character development and more details to make the plot stronger and pull in the reader. The real shame is the narration. The narrator's cadence throughout the book ruins everything. The inflection at critical parts was completely off and made the exciting parts flat and rushed. Truly irritating.
