Publisher's Summary

Bubbles of cold sweat trickled down Faye’s spine. The hole wasn’t empty. Before she could turn and run, she caught the two sightless eyes staring up at her. Only then did she scream. 

When Faye Baker discovers a fragile child’s skull behind the walls of her new home, Detective Lottie Parker is called to investigate. The house has been owned for years by the family of Faye’s boyfriend Jeff, so when Jeff starts acting suspiciously, Lottie wonders what he might be hiding....

Lottie doesn’t have long to dig deeper before a child’s bones are found by 11-year-old Gavin on nearby railway tracks. The bones don’t match the small skull behind the walls, but Lottie can’t ignore the coincidence. Someone out there must be missing their loved ones and it’s up to her to put right a terrible wrong. 

Unable to shake a feeling of foreboding, Lottie goes to speak to Faye, and discovers that she hasn’t turned up for work. When Faye’s body is found stuffed in the back of her car, Lottie needs to find out who wanted her to keep quiet. 

As Lottie hunts for Faye’s killer, the case takes a darker turn when Gavin goes missing. Faye and Gavin are connected only by the grisly body parts they discovered. But who are these little victims and why has their killer come back? Can Lottie find the answers before another precious life is taken? 

This thrilling new novel from best-selling author Patricia Gibney will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. If you like Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine, you’ll love Buried Angels.

solid

I listened to the first book on a whim, liked it, and now the series is one of my guilty pleasures. They are way soapier and more "private life of the lead detective" based than what I usually enjoy, but the author crafts such careful, clever, engaging mysteries that I can put up with the personal stuff.
That said, what a relief it was that Lottie's home life was moderately more stable this time around. The amount of extreme trauma she and her children have faced in previous books borders on the ridiculous (and totally improbable). Despite her fiance's cancer (and seriously, please, PLEASE let him go into remission. If Gibney kills him off I am going to be so annoyed), things are going sort of ok! Yeah, her kids are still awful (I'm going to editorialize here and say that they come by it honestly, though. I am so glad that my mother isn't a Lottie. She never grew up and is such a mess. Not even a relatable mess, but you can't help but feel for her, anyway, because she came by it honestly, too. This series is like a study in intergenerational trauma...), but at least the eldest and her baby look to be flying the coop. So there's definitely more melodrama to come in the next installment with that, and the middle child having dropped out of school and being generally difficult, and Boyd's cancer and their impending marriage and her insufferable mother and scheming half brother...
Yeah, it never ends. But it does feel like it is mellowing out a bit. And I am definitely here for that. Go stability!
So, the mystery, as usual, was on point. And refreshingly, was only barely connected to her family. Solid. Creepy, well drawn characters and an interesting plot. And excellent narration, as usual.

Really liked it.

what a page turner. I was hooked right off the bat. The actual investigation/mystery part was really great. I didn't have it figured out until almost the very end.... and I listen to A LOT of this sort of book. This was maybe my favorite book of the series so far. Lottie is finally getting her sh together (thank goodness) so I didn't spend the whole book being annoyed at her. AAannnd, her relationship with Boyd is actually almost sort of functional. I wish more of the characters in this series actually act like they like each other but that seems like it's improving, or is at least less jarring. I'm looking forward to the next book, and I really hope the squad continues to get more and more likeable!

Lottie is back and better than ever!!!

The last few books of this series had left me wondering if I would even read book eight. Lottie had become unlikable to me - selfish and shrill. Apparently Ms. Gibney read my reviews and made some adjustments! (Haha) There was no "Boyd drama" to wade through - just a good procedural/mystery. There's a focus on the other detectives: hapless, homeless Kirby, conniving Lynch, newbie McCuen, and another boss who is going to give DI Parker fits! There's also a poignant, brief reappearance of Corrigan in this story, and his own little, sad story is very well-written. I'm so happy that Lottie has gotten it together and that the series is moving in the right direction. This may be my favorite of the entire series. Stellar performance, as always, by Michele Moran.

Another hit!

I've listened to all of the Lottie Parker books and I hate it when they end. This one is no exception. Even though the mystery is wrapped up, the personal life of Lottie Parker is just as interesting. The mysteries are always so tangled up that just when you think you know who the culprit is, the end always surprises! Patricia is a master story teller and this series is a favorite. Can't wait for the next book!

Dark Author

Ok $5 sale. This author and series are not for me. Yes this is a good mystery but l have had to Use 1.3 speed to get the story rolling. At ch 34, finally the story is going somewhere. I like stories that go back and forth in time. However author has way too many characters as red herrings. I have been to Ireland and this author manages to portray everything and everyone with negative adjectives. So it makes a mystery dark and dank as well.
Narrator has a good voice and accent. It puts you right in downtown Dublin but her male differences are not enough so with too many characters to follow, you interrupt the flow trying to remember who these people are and how they are relevant to the plot.
Were my comments of help?

Too much Lottie Parker

I've listened to 8 books about Detective Lottie Parker. although I've enjoyed them, it's time for a break. there is too much murder in Buried Angels and all the books in the series. ... need to listen to another author for a while.

Continues to keep me entertained

Book 8 and I’m still coming back for more. Lottie is the messed up person we all can relate to and still a great detective. Keep on going Lottie!

Great performance but convoluted story

The performance was excellent and the story while interesting was very convoluted. It was hard to follow at times.
