Monster in the Moonlight

By: Annelise Ryan

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

Under the light of the full moon, a quiet rural lane becomes the scene of a shocking crime that may be the work of a mythical monster in the latest entry of this USA Today bestselling mystery series.


When a dead body turns up along a lonely country byway in rural Wisconsin, rumors of The Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-like creature that is said to inhabit the area are reinvigorated. For years locals have reported sightings of the terrifying creature, but this would be its first verified attack.


Marks on the dead woman’s body indicate a mauling by some kind of large animal. The wounds plus deep scratches on the victim’s car convince the community that the legendary beast is not only real but responsible for this brutal killing.


If the police have any hope of solving this crime, they’re going to need an expert—enter cryptozoologist Morgan Carter. She’s investigated sightings of eerie creatures throughout the upper Midwest. If anyone is going to track down the killer, it’s Morgan, but she may find that the Beast is not the worst thing lurking on Bray Road.

Loved this audiobook!!

Really enjoyed this installment of this series. A story in a story in a story. As far as I am concerned she cannot write these stories fast enough. Looking forward to the next one.

Another winner!

Monster in the Moonlight by Annalise Ryan is a great addition to a series I truly love. The story is atmospheric and suspenseful, with a steady build that keeps you engaged. The narration is excellent—well-paced and expressive, bringing both the tension and the characters to life. A very enjoyable listen and an easy recommendation for fans of the series.

5 stars

Monster in the Moonlight is a well written story with engaging characters and entertaining plot. I can't wait for the next book

Another excellent entry in the series!

I love this series and enjoyed the new entry! I appreciate getting to follow the plot through-line in addition to the mystery in each individual novel. I do really enjoy her shop and relationship with her employees/friends and I’d have liked all that to have a little more presence, but it was still very good.

Another Cryptid hunt begins

The fourth book in this series. This time Morgan is brought in to investigate the death of a woman by, what appears to be, the infamous Beast Of Bray Road...a werewolf. A decent little mystery story wrapped up in the very real conspiracy theories out there. We also get updates on the mystery of the deaths of Morgan's parents and the somewhat all over the map of Morgan and John's relationship. A fun cozy mystery. Recommended.
