Description

Contains the first two books in the thrilling Cassie McGraw series.

What Lies Beneath, Book 1:

Fresh out of high school and off to college, Cassie thought she had the world by its tail, and then she met Mike. Tall, handsome, and a police detective to boot, he swept her off her feet and into a whirlwind relationship that led to an engagement ring.

But things aren't always as they seem, and Cassie comes to discover that Mike has a dark side. When she learns just how dark it can be, she comes face-to-face with the greatest forward she could imagine, and it leaves her burned and scarred for the rest of her life.

Cassie isn't one to wallow in misery. She takes her experiences and a degree in psychology and sets out to help other women avoid the kind of thing that happened to her, but then one of her clients comes to her in desperation. Her abusive husband has kidnapped her daughter, and it's up to Cassie to find the girl before it's too late.

Of course, then the only trick is how to survive.

Don't Fight Fate, Book 2:

Someone is abducting and killing the abused women that Cassie works with, and it all seems to be aimed at hurting her. The police are stymied and can't find any leads, but Cassie is too stubborn to let this monster win. With the help of her FWB, Dex, she learns some things the police don't know, but that she can't reveal without getting herself into serious trouble.

After five women have gone missing, Cassie manages to identify the type of woman the perpetrator goes after, and decides to set a trap of her own for him. Using the prosthetic mask that makes her look almost normal, she uses herself as bait, but this is a man who is highly skilled at abducting his victims. Despite all her precautions, Cassie ends up having to depend only on herself if she has any hope of survival, let alone saving the lives of his other victims.

Cassie is a survivor, however, and doesn't know how to give up. This guy may be a serial killer, but he's never had to deal with the likes of Cassie McGraw.

Excellent narration by Christine Lakin

The narration by Christine Lakin of the novels What Lies Beneath and Don't Fight Fate, written by David Archer, is excellent. At the beginning of What Lies Beneath, I found myself irritated by the characters. However, as the story continues into Don't Fight Fate, the protagonist matures, and the story develops onto more solid ground.

Not your average female lead character

As I listened to this book, I was impressed with the insight into domestic abuse it offered. Cassie is a well written example of how that abuse can shape a person. She is a strong gal who gets the job done.....and then some!. Looking forward to more books in this series.

This has been the most unusual context novel I have ever heared ever

The heading says it. Content, story, narration were very well done.
Read or listen this is worth it.

Not Great.. And Way Too Agenda-Driven

David Archer is pretty clearly a permissive "as-long-as-it's-consensual" moral hedonist and a bit of a misanthropist - women can do no wrong; men are (almost) all pigs in his reality - but he provides an imaginative pair of mysteries for amateur sleuth and Women's Advocate/Psychologist 'Cassie McGraw' to solve:
• 'What Lies Beneath' finds Cassie surviving a murder attempt by her serial killer fiancé and developing her crime-solving techniques to find a missing woman and her stalker boyfriend
• Book Two ('Don't Fight Fate') has Cassie officially becoming a licensed P.I. and solving a series of abductions of abused women with the help of a wisecracking midget tech-weenie named 'Alfie' - I'm being serious.
(It's better than it sounds)

To be honest, I laughed out loud a couple of times at the unoriginality & implausibility on display (and the writing is legit execrable at times), but Archer's plots are imaginative enough to be on a par with particularly harrowing episodes of 70s TV Cop shows. I'm embarrassed to admit that I found myself oddly captivated by this sophomoric stuff.

Doubtless, the truly outstanding reading from Christine Lakin is almost solely responsible for the entertainment I got from these stories. I have no idea how Lakin was able to read some of this dialogue with a straight face.. but her performance is incredibly professional. Diction, timbre, cadence, voice-acting, and especially tone exceed the prose in every way. If you are given the option of getting a text version of this duo of stories or obtaining this recorded iteration, take this one every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Despite some of the best reading that I have heard in a long time, however, these Cassie McGraw mysteries rate a painful 3.5 stars out of 10. Provided you can get past the glaring hatred of almost anything with a 'Y' Chromosome, they're an amusing 'Starsky & Hutch'-level distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons. If you can get them for free as a 'Plus' option, you're not crazy -  but if you pay a Credit, you're a fool.
