Where the Dead Sleep

De: Joshua Moehling

Narrado por: Linda Jones

When an early morning call brings Deputy Ben Packard to the scene of a home invasion, he finds Bill Sandersen shot in his bed. Bill was a well-liked local who chased easy money his whole life, leaving bad debts and broken hearts in his wake. Everyone Packard talks to has a story about Bill, but no one has a clear motive for wanting him dead. The business partner. The ex-wife. The current wife. The high-stakes poker buddies. Any of them—or none of them—could be guilty.

As the investigation begins, tragedy strikes the Sheriff's department, forcing Packard to make a difficult choice about his future: step down as acting Sheriff and pursue the quiet life he came to Sandy Lake in search of or subject himself to the scrutiny of an election for the full-time role of Sheriff, a job he's not sure he wants.

There's a hidden history to Sandy Lake that Packard, ever the outsider, can't see. Bad blood and old secrets run deep. But an attempt on Packard's life means he's getting uncomfortably close to the dangerous legacy of the quiet Minnesota town. And someone will do anything to keep it hidden.

Solid read

It was an overall good book. The story is pretty strong and it’s not easy to figure out mystery. I like the characters. I especially like that the lead is gay, which you don’t often find in this type of book. It is also just one facet of him. I really enjoyed the author’s previous book.

Not as good as the 1st book

I love the cast of characters and the writing style is excellent. A bit disappointed in the story line of this second book, it just didn't have the suspense or build-up as the 1st book. Also, I hate cliffhanger endings and this made me frustrated. I'm still looking forward to the next book though!

great Story

I like the story for the most part. It didn't quiet catch the magic of the original.

amazing book!

I recently went on a bachlorette where the whole bridal party couldn't stop talking about how good this book was! I actually temporarily paused the book I was reading to see what all the hype was. I was not let not let down!! the only thing i wish I had done differently was look into the series prior to realize this was actually the 2nd book. I'm currently reading and there he kept her. also another amazing read! I've already recommended this author to several people and cannot wait for the 3rd book to come out.

good story

narrator good . plot complicated enough, characters pretty rounded, main character complicated but relatable professional . made me laugh out loud a few times .

Book 2 just as good as the first

Book 2 is just as good as the book 1. Another great story. The narrator is also great. Each character has his or her’s voice and personality.
Please give us book 3.

Great narrator!!

I was happy to know I was reading another Ben Packard story. I can’t wait for the next book as he left it as a cliffhanger… 

Love this Series!

Great characters, story line with twists and turns! Listen starting at book one or do standalone. Either way it’s worth it! Hope you like them as much as I do!

Keeps you guessing until the end!

I saw this title as I was browsing Target at the beginning of this week and the content and local author grabbed my attention. I knew I had a credit to use on my account and decided to see if it was available and it was. This was the quickest I have finished an audio book as I only listen while I am in the car with my commute one way only being 12 minutes. I couldn't stop listening! The author wrote this so well that it wasn't easy to figure out how it would end until the VERY end. I learned this was the author's second book, I will be going back and reading/listening to the first! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers. I am anxious to hear if a possible third book will be released.

Enjoyed another Ben Packard story but....

Overall enjoyed and hope to see another Ben Packard story. However, did not care for the ending and if there isn't another book coming then it's an even worse ending. Wasn't as much "action" as the 1st story but still good.
