Echo

Detective Harriet Foster, Book 3

By: Tracy Clark

Narrated by: Chanté McCormick

From the award-winning author of Hide and Fall comes the third book in the Detective Harriet Foster thriller series, a taut tale of renegade justice with a heart-stopping finale.

Hardwicke House, home to Belverton College’s exclusive Minotaur Society, is no stranger to tragedy. And when a body turns up in the field next to the mansion, the scene looks chillingly familiar.

Chicago PD sends hard-nosed Detective Harriet “Harri” Foster to investigate. The victim is Brice Collier, a wealthy Belverton student, whose billionaire father, Sebastian, owns Hardwicke and ranks as a major school benefactor. Sebastian also has ties to the mansion’s notorious past, when thirty years ago, hazing led to a student’s death in the very same field.

Could the deaths be connected? With no suspects or leads, Harri and her partner, Detective Vera Li, will have to dig deep to find answers. No charges were ever filed in the first case, and this time, Harri’s determined the killer must pay. But still grieving her former partner’s death, Harri must also contend with a shadowy figure called the voice—and their dangerous game of cat and mouse could threaten everything.

Critic reviews

“[A] hard-hitting police procedural that examines justice, and who metes it out.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Revenge is served ice-cold during a frigid Chicago winter in Clark’s entertaining latest procedural.”—Publishers Weekly

“Echo is the third in Clark’s series focused on [Detective Harriet] Foster, but it stands firmly on its own.”—The Washington Post

Harriet Foster is a Boss!

This marks the third installment in the Detective Harriet Foster series.

"Echo" is a gripping murder mystery set against the backdrop of Chicago, exploring the depths of crime drama.

With its raw, authentic, and pulse-pounding narrative, Tracy Clark has swiftly become one of my favorite authors in the crime thriller genre.

Hardwicke House, the esteemed residence of Belverton College’s elite Minotaur Society, has a history marred by tragedy. When a body is discovered in the field adjacent to the mansion, the scene evokes a haunting sense of déjà vu.

The Chicago Police Department assigns the tenacious Detective Harriet “Harri” Foster to lead the investigation. The deceased is Brice Collier, a privileged student at Belverton, whose billionaire father, Sebastian, not only owns Hardwicke but also plays a significant role as a key benefactor of the institution. Sebastian is linked to the mansion's dark legacy, recalling a tragic incident from thirty years prior, when a student lost their life in that very same field during a hazing ritual.

Are these two deaths interconnected? Faced with an absence of suspects or leads, Harri and her partner, Detective Vera Li, must delve deeply to uncover the truth.

Excellent Listen!!

This is a great addition to the series! I’m loving this MC more with each book. The mystery is well paced and kept me guessing throughout. The underlying plot which also gets further explored from the previous two books also reaches another phase. Overall, the narrator is excellent; and it’s great to hear the MC voiced by a person of color as it truly brings her to life. This is a great listen and a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story it was very complex and gripping.

I enjoyed this book like I enjoyed the other ones as well. I love the way the author pieces together the mystery. I love how I'm able to follow through with the characters. I always feel like I'm right in the theme even if I am reading from an ebook or I'm listening to audio. Great work!
