Taken to the Grave

A Detective Jo Fournier Novel

By: M.M. Chouinard

Narrated by: Patricia Rodriguez

In a town full of secrets, the truth won’t stay buried....

When a girl’s body is discovered in a park in the sleepy Massachusetts town of Oakhurst, local detective Jo is shocked to the core. Because the girl is the second innocent victim to turn up dead in three days. And just like the first, a tarot card has been left by the body. The meaning of the card: betrayal.

After uncovering a series of threatening messages targeting the girl, a student at the university, and the first victim, her teacher, Jo thinks she’s locked the killer in her crosshairs. The primary suspect is a volatile ex-military student with an axe to grind for failing grades, and the frightened town is out for his blood. But the next day, a much-loved member of the community is found dead in her home, a tarot card in her mail. There’s no clear motive to link her death to the others, and the message on the card this time is even stranger: domestic bliss.

With a fourth body and card appearing the following day, Jo knows she’s running out of time to crack the code and bring the killer to justice. And the pressure only gets worse with heart-breaking news about Jo’s father forcing her to choose between helping her family heal or the victims’ families get justice. Can Jo find the twisted murderer sending the town into a panic before another life is lost? Or this time, will the dangerous killer find her first?

A completely addictive detective thriller that will keep you guessing into the early hours of the morning. If you love Kendra Elliot, Melinda Leigh, and Lisa Regan you’ll love Taken to the Grave.

Loved the story

I agree that the narrator is a bit overly dramatic so listen to the sample first to see if you can handle it. But the story is great and the plot is very engaging. Five stars to the author for sure.

It’s good, wasn’t crazy about the narrator.

The story was pretty good, I definitely thought the first book was way way better, but the only thing that threw me off is the woman who voiced the audio book. She has like a valley girl growl/ moan at the end of each sentence- hard to explain. Sometimes that’s all I noticed and it distracted me from the story. I just bought the book so I can read it myself so I can pay attention better.

was an ok read

enjoyed the narrator, the story was an ok read hard to follow in some parts

Fun read

Enjoyed the twists and turns and characters. Slightly predictable, but fun never the less

suspenseful

Enjoyed this book. It was fast read. Narration was good. I would read another of this author.

very good

well written..well narrated... excellent plat and kept my attention. can't wait for the next one in the series

Kind of boring but good story

Ugh where do I start. I started reading this book three times. I couldn’t get into it as much as I liked Dancing girls and even that one was a little boring and slow for me. However, this book was just too long and I felt as if it dragged. We get to know Jo and I felt like it was fluff writing. It was excellent back story but it was def fluff to this story. I feel like I want to be connected to the characters and feel for their lives or fear for their death but I don’t care for the any of the characters except for detective Jo. I’ve noticed that every one is referred to by their last name except for Jo and in book 1 it confused me a little but now it’s sort of inconsistent for me anyway. The topic although plausible was boring. The reasoning behind the kills made sense but to get to the real killers was way too long. In the show the first 48 the detectives had more leads and information than Jo did in her career. I was solving the case before she and her team pieced it together.
The author’s writing is awesome.
I would like to see Jo have a little more action or a near to death experience. She’s a police officer I hate to believe that her life hasn’t been threaten in the 20 plus years in the force.

Who dunnit?

Just when you think you know who the killer is-you don't! Thrilling suspense- Loved it!

Kept us guessing the whole time!

Loved it! No naps taken on this roadtrip. kept us wanting more. Can't wait for the next book.

Eh

It was ok. not as good as the dancing girls but not horrible. I finally got used to the narration. she was as ridiculously dramatic as the last book.
