Avenue of Regrets

By: R.J. Pineiro

Narrated by: Doug Briggs

What would you do if you discovered that the violent death of your family seven years ago was not as it had seemed? How far would you go to uncover the truth?

"An engrossing novel of domestic suspense . . . a fast-paced tale of murder and horrific crime with twists and turns worthy of Hitchcock." (Publishers Weekly)

David Wallace had it all: A beautiful wife, an infant son, and a great career. Until a tragic mistake ended it all.

Seven years later, David has managed to move on with his life, having started a shelter for battered women. But he's still haunted by the indiscretion that changed his world forever. He hopes, even prays, that by helping those abused, those living in fear, he might be able to put his dark days behind him.

But on the seventh anniversary of that terrible night, he learns that everything that happened back then - everything - was not as it had seemed. This revelation propels him into a world of unspeakable violence he never knew existed.

Still, he won't stop - he can't stop. How could he? Could you? Someone killed your family and for seven long years made you think you were responsible.

But there are dark forces in play demanding a reckoning. Besieged by past demons, David discovers enemies and crimes so heinous and, so far reaching, they threaten to propel him down another Avenue of Regrets.

Story of mistery.

Good

He lost what was important to him, and now told it all was a lie of what happened seven years ago. What would one do, a crime he doesn’t remember or doesn’t want to. A plot that goes from present to the past.intreguing and good narration by Doug..Given audio for my voluntary rebiew.

Masterful thriller

On the seventh anniversary of the 'accidental' death of his wife and child, a man gets told that everything he knows about the night he lost his family is not what it seems. He was also accused of a crime he cant remember commiting. Doing everything he can to find the truth, he uncovers various worlds he never knew existed.

This thriller was great. The story builds up skillfully through brilliantly interweaving clues throughout the story. You go through the present and the past and all the zigzaging reveals put all the pieces into place. It was a masterful plot built up intricately with various layers adding to the story.

Doug was a good fit for the story. He narrated well and clearly and i enjoyed his performance.
