The Final Episode

A Thriller

By: Lori Roy

Narrated by: P.J. Morgan

When a true crime series chronicles the tragic childhood summer that changed her life forever, a young woman must grapple with the truth about her father…and herself.

Jennifer Jones and her best friends spend every summer at Big Cypress Swamp, and this summer, Jennifer will finally turn eleven. She hopes to gain the “second sight” foretold by family legend and fulfill her destiny. Instead, the swamp serves up dangers greater than the gators lurking on Halfway Creek. Little Francie Farrow vanishes—and Jennifer’s father goes to prison.

Twenty years later, Jennifer has almost shed the label of Paul Jones’s daughter when her past comes barreling back. Inspired by True Events, a TV series that solves the unsolvable, is recreating that fateful summer. As the series plays out, Jennifer wonders: Did the show finally find Francie Farrow? And is Jennifer’s father truly guilty?

Someone else wants answers even more than Jennifer does, and they won’t let her forget it.

As the series nears its finale and the long-awaited truth, Jennifer must come to terms with who her family is…and what that makes her.

What a book!

This was an exceptional book in every way.
Excellently crafted story, rich character development, seamless prose, and top notch narration of the audiobook.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this author, but I’m sure glad I have now.

Great story - even greater narration

I loved the whodunnit theme! I love a good mystery. Some of the characters weren’t very likable, and I felt the story dragged a bit in some parts. But over all it was a good read and I’d recommend to a friend (or stranger!).

So good!

Really enjoyed how it all came together. The ending was great. The characters were what kept drawing me in.

No payoff

Though the premise was quite intriguing, the character development and how the plot was presented didn’t engage me.
