RATING - 4/5
Book #10 of the D.D. Warren series, Never Tell, features Flora Dane, a returning character from previous novels. The audio is read by Kirsten Potter who did a great job.
Conrad Carter is dead, shot three times in his home office. His computer screen is riddled with more than 10 bullets and, his pregnant wife Evie is found holding the gun. Sixteen years earlier, Evie was cleared in the killing of her father, which was later ruled accidental. Is this all too coincidental? Just what is going on with this family?
The story is told in alternating POVs: Evie, who appears guilty, Detective D.D. Warren and Flora Dane, D.D.'s assistant. (Flora was a kidnap victim years earlier and she realizes that Evie's late husband looks familiar to her).
This story has strong female characters, which I loved and, the author did a great job developing each character along the way. Bonus, I never figured out the ending. It's one of those stories that makes you ask how well you really know those closest to you.

Wow, Evie sounds like quite the character!
ReplyDeleteBad luck recipient for sure.
DeleteThat sounds like a really good one!
ReplyDeleteYes, held my interest.
DeleteI've only listened to audio in the gym while walking, in the winter, when the sun isn't shining.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have one going all the time in car or sometimes before bed.
DeleteI really liked this one and hope Evie will turn up again in future books!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteIt sounds challenging!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good audio.
DeleteA thriller where you don't figure out the ending, but it seems plausible, is so good!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is always a bonus and pleasant surprise.
DeleteI don't use audiobooks but I read this on my kindle and really enjoyed it, as I have every single book Gardner has written. A go-to, auto-buy/borrow author for me.
ReplyDeleteReally? I do like Gardner and have read most of her books but, I rarely buy books these days. I love the library!
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteIt was good.
DeleteEvie sounds like a real problem. Or, she's bad luck.
ReplyDeleteBad luck indeed!
DeleteReally enjoy her book so I'm looking forward to this one!
