Crossing Lines

Gabe Quinn, Book 2

By: Keith Houghton

Narrated by: David Doersch

How far would you go to protect your children?

Former homicide detective Gabe Quinn has quit the LAPD and is chasing his demons pro bono - determined to catch or kill the two serial killers responsible for ruining his life.

But when a mutilated body is washed up on a picturesque Florida beach, it marks the beginning of the end for Gabe and his sanity. Nothing is quite what it seems and never will be again. What follows is an explosive race to save a woman's life from the hands of a madman. But this is no ordinary kidnapper. This is Gabe's nemesis - the murderer of his wife, the monster responsible for killing Hope. And he has returned with an old score to settle. One that will force Gabe to cross every line he has ever made.

One man wants revenge....

One man wants to even the score....

Only one will succeed....

Author note: The back story in Crossing Lines continues from the first book, Killing Hope. To enjoy the whole experience as intended, I recommend listening to the Gabe Quinn Thrillers in numerological order.

Riveting

Suspenseful even when you think you have it. Excellent narration. Great characters. Looking forward to listening to number three!

Twister

I love this book series. It is very unique and has a lot of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. You will not be sorry for reading the series. I have found it best to listen to it on audible, it allows me to keep up with it a lot easier, and the narrator they have chosen is perfect. can't wait to read the last one

Awesome

Hands down the best book I have heard in a long time. The turns and twists were amazing. I was at the edge of my seat wondering where to next. I never saw the end coming.

Compelling "Page Turner"

Quick pace. The narrator's British voice - more Irish than English, and females like damsels in distress.

Absolutely Amazing Super Book!!!!

What did you like best about this story?

This book picks up where Killing Hope leaves off. Celebrity Detective Gabe Quinn is still looking for the monster who murdered his wife. His tactics are not always on the right side of the law. Of course there are also other shady but colorful characters from Quinn's past who would like to do him harm and threaten to derail his search. I can't spoil this for anyone, you just have to get this.

What about David Doersch’s performance did you like?

I personally thought David Doersch did a super job with both books. I think I will always see Gabe Quinn when I hear his voice. My hope is that Keith Houghton doesn't change narrators.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes there was but I don't know why Audible even asks this question. I can't answer without giving away the ending...

Any additional comments?

This book contains so many high tension mystery/drama/thriller dialogues and settings. I could not stop listening. The protagonist has had so much heartache but is determined to find his wife's killer that when he does the identity will knock your socks off. The person he suspects is not him but his actions will come back to haunt him. He rescues a woman left for dead as well and the scene is again shocking but the epilogue,WOW - what a cliffhanger for the next book in the series. I can't wait! I Highly Recommend this book. If you're reading my review do yourself a favor, don't keep thinking about it, just get it, you won't be sorry.

WOW! WOW! Just WOW!

Gabe Quinn, the celebrity cop (actually ex-cop), arrives at solid 5 stars in Crossing Lines which is book 2 in the series. I'm almost 2 years late getting to this serious action thriller. There have been some negative comments about the narrator David Doersch, but to me has the perfect voice and cadence for this material. Crossing lines is a great action thriller and serial killer novel that would make a wonderful movie.

Speechless

I am always looking for a great book that keeps me on the edge, biting my fingernails and holding my breath. This book had my heart racing and my mind racing to 3 or 4 possible conclusions with always surprising results. The narrator is excellent at portraying the different characters. This was definitely my adrenaline rush for the last couple of days. I am addicted.

great 2nd part book!!

when I started this series,I wasn't sure I was going to like it but omg I could hardly put this down. the story had me on the edge of my seat. ending was such a shock that I had to listen to the last ten chapters over a couple times. absolutely with the listen!!!

second verse, same as the first

I liked the first book in this series enough to read the next one immediately, and while I wasn't too disappointed, it was a bit disheartening to see how much of the plot of the first book was recycled into this one. Not just people and details, but pretty much the story arc itself, plugged in with different characters and some John D McDonald plot added on near the end. The writing is good, the narration is good, the story line is wild enough while still believable, but I'm not excited to read any further in the series, as the author seems to have a limited bag of tricks . . .

Good listen.

Great narration. Easy to follow the voice.Good story line with some twists. Nice lead up to next story.
