New Girl in the Falls

A Sweetwater Falls Mystery, Book 1

By: Elle Gray

Narrated by: Emily Norman

Searching for a fresh start and a serene place to heal from both mental and physical wounds, Agent Spenser Song found herself answering the job posting for the quaint town of Sweetwater Falls.

After a series of tragedies turned her world upside down, FBI Agent Spenser Song felt like a woman adrift in a sea of chaos. Her brush with death and the tragic murder of her husband left her questioning everything in her life. And when it became clear that Bureau politics will trump justice, Spenser realized she needed a fresh start.

Looking for a slower pace and needing to heal, Spenser is hired on to be the sheriff in the idyllic town of Sweetwater Falls. The town is everything her best friend said it would be, and all in the Falls was seemingly perfect.

With the exception of her cantankerous landlord, Ryker Makawi, a former Navy SEAL with issues and a past of his own.

When a local woman is murdered, the case proves to be far from simple, and Spenser finds herself forced to work with the ill-tempered Ryker.

With her past trying to reach into the present to pull Spenser into a cold dark grave, Spenser soon realized that the chaos she fled from had found its way back into her life.

Spenser Song came west to find peace. But the new girl in the Falls soon finds herself in the fight of her life.

The Narrator With Only One Voice

The narrator knew how to narrate the women but there was little to no difference between the women’s voice and men’s. The story was ok but she’s just not Blake Wilder. I’ll listen to the next one to see if it gets better. But the narrator? I don’t know.

"Cozy"

from the current reviews and summary of the book I wasn't expecting Rena Kent or David Baldacci, but I also wasn't expecting something that borders on a cozy mystery. The storyline was good but it was too easy. You knew the killer as soon as he was introduced in the book. The two main characters had no "foreplay", they just came together with no heat or spice that was very anticlimactic. The narrator can be a bit whiny, and doesn't differentiate her voices. This book is entertaining and cute, but not much for adventurous and sexy.

Excellent story

great story and characters. definitely going to listen to this series. would definitely recommend series

great 1st book

I like Spencer and getting to know her. she is interesting and a great cop. want to read more!
