Story
Twenty years ago Emily Mills's father was murdered, and she found his body hanging in the backyard. Her younger sister, Madison, claims she was asleep in her room. Her older sister, Tara, claims she was out with friends. The tragedy drove their mother to suicide and Tara to leave town forever. The killer was caught. The case closed. Ever since, Emily and Madison have tried to forget what happened that night - until an eerily similar murder brings it all back.

Story
New sheriff Bree Taggert is called to a shooting in a campground shuttered for the winter. But she arrives to find a perplexing crime. There is no shooter, no victim, and no blood. No one but Bree believes the sole witness, Alyssa, a homeless teenager who insists she saw her friend shot. Bree calls in former deputy Matt Flynn and his K-9 to track the killer and search for Alyssa’s friend. They discover the battered corpse of a missing university student under the ice in Grey Lake - but it’s not the victim they were looking for.

Story
Twenty years ago in the dead of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it. Arden Maxwell, the daughter of the man who disappeared all those years ago - presumably with the money, after murdering his accomplice - has never reconciled with her father's abandonment of her and her sister.

Mercifully, the victim’s body is perfectly preserved, right down to the baseball patch on the jacket she is wearing. Josie can’t hide her devastation - her dead ex-husband, Ray, owned one just like it.

Publisher's Summary
A Wall Street Journal bestseller.
A dead conspiracy theorist. A mass murderer. Two cases collide for Callahan and McLane in a pulse-pounding thriller by Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author Kendra Elliot.
A man is savagely murdered outside Portland, and Detective Mason Callahan finds blood-spatter evidence that tells a troubling story. Files reveal the murder victim, Reuben Braswell, was a radical conspiracist. In his home, investigators find pages of diatribes against law enforcement as well as ties to Mason’s fiancée, FBI special agent Ava McLane. The victim was her informant - and had strong reasons to be paranoid.
To Ava, Braswell’s rants were those of a wearying and harmless man…until they collide with her investigation into the murders of police officers and finding the connection becomes urgent. Meanwhile, Braswell’s brother and Ava’s twin sister both disappear, and disturbing acts of sabotage target Ava’s personal life.
For Mason and Ava, the brutal crimes and escalating mysteries create a perfect storm for a terrorist conspiracy that becomes dangerously personal - one that has yet to claim its last victim.

Very monotone performance
I love Kendra Elliot books. I really love the person that reads the Mercy series. This narrator was ok, but during the non-dialog parts it really sounded monotone and didn’t have any feeling. It was more reading than feeling like you were being told a story. Also being and Oregon native, it really annoys me when the narrators pronounce towns or other landmarks incorrectly.

FBI agent and detective
Detective Mason Callahan was assigned the murder investigation of Ava’s informant. Rueben was found murdered in his house. He was Ava’s informant. He hated cops and anyone to do with them. He was paranoid and a conspiracy-theory believer. He always thought he was being watched. Mason worked his investigation parallel with Ava’s case. It appears that Ava’s life was in danger. Someone thinks she has information that could get her killed. Ava has a twin sister that she always took care of. Jayne was the reckless sister. Ava lost patience with her sisters lifestyle. Jayne’s past was full of illegal drugs, petty crimes, and stealing whatever she could from her twin. She lost contact with her for awhile causing Ava’s concern to grow. Overall: Kendra offered the perfect balance between the personal life and business life. Although it was easy considering both main characters worked in law enforcement and were working on the same case. This was a fast pace thriller with plenty of police activity. The detectives delved right into the investigation with great success. I liked that the detectives had leads to follow which produced successful results. I felt it was quite entertaining to read. The delivery of both personal and business relations was great. Combining these relations kept the story flowing without interruption. It helped that the lifestyles of the main characters were similar. Working as a detective is demanding but then factor it into your personal life and it becomes challenging. I liked the minimal police procedures. There was no profiling. What they worked with from the initial murder provided enough information to start a proper investigation. This is my first read by Kendra Elliot. I dove right into book 2 in the Columbia River series with no problems. Not reading book 1 didn’t hinder my experience at all. This was a character driven story with Ava and Mason as the main characters driven by dialogue focusing on the investigation while simultaneously living a personal life of danger. Mason Callahan has been an important character in Kendra Elliot’s books since her debut novel, Hidden, came out in 2012. She knew for years that she left unanswered questions about Mason, Ava, and Jayne. She intended to return to them after she wrote a few Mercy Kilpatrick books. However, she didn’t anticipate writing six Mercy books. Narrator: Listened at 1.9x speed. Emily Sutton-Smith performed the Silence in it’s entirety. She was the solo female performer for all the characters. This was an unabridged audiobook. Emily’s performance was a suitable match to the style of this thrilling book. I would definitely give her another listen.
