Night Work

By: Steve Hamilton

Narrated by: Seth Podowitz

With Night Work, award-winning author of the acclaimed Alex McKnight series Steve Hamilton delivers an atmospheric stand-alone thriller.

Joe Trumbull is not a man who scares easily. But tonight, he is scared to death.

It’s been two years since the murder of Joe’s fiancée, Laurel. Two years of grief and loneliness. On this hot summer night, he is finally going on a blind date, his first since Laurel’s death. He’s not looking for love, just testing the waters to see if it’s possible to live a normal life again. And after the first awkward minutes, Joe starts to think this date wasn’t such a bad idea after all. In fact, maybe it will turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened to him.

He couldn’t be more wrong. Because somehow, for reasons Joe doesn’t yet understand, this one evening will mark the beginning of a new nightmare—a nightmare that will lead him to realize that the past is never past. And the worst is yet to come.

Poor story

This guy had to be the dumbest or most naive victim of anybody. From the first third of the book you knew he was being set up. How did he not see it? No lawyer? Just talk to the cops and answer all their questions. He just never believes he could be their suspect! A lawyer would never be able to help him by the time it occurred to him that he was in trouble. And the ending was pretty far fetched!
