The Other Extreme

By: T.J. MacGregor

Narrated by: Laura Bannister

There's a thin line between love and hate

For Jay Hutchin, the line blurs on a sultry night in a cheap motel on Tango Key. One moment's jealous rage is all it takes for the esteemed judge to murder Diane Jackson, a beautiful starlet whose fatal mistake was to underestimate her married lover's devotion - and the depth of his jealousy.

Between success and ruin

Having made a name for herself taking on high-profile cases, defense attorney Kit Parrish has everything to lose this time around. Hired to defend the innocent suspect in the Jackson murder, Kit grows increasingly distracted by her brother's unsolved disappearance a decade ago - and her young son's bizarre behavior, triggered by voices only he can hear.

Between life and death

On the verge of becoming U.S. attorney general, Jay Hutchin is quietly frantic, bent on keeping Kit Parrish from clearing her client's name - and determined to avoid the accusing gaze of Kit's son. The little boy can't possibly know what really happened that night on Tango Key, or can he? As the truth closes in, Jay will do anything to safeguard his future and cover his tracks. Anything. Even kill again.

The Other Extreme

This has been the best audiobook I have ever listened to. TJ Macgregor has been my favorite author ever since the book of hers I read over thirty-three years ago.
I learned things about myself I never knew before. Over and over there were things that happened to me that we're similar to the book.

This is the first book I have listened to by TJ MacGregor.We have murder, a decade old disappearance, unfaithful spouses, a young boy that has "psychic" experiences, and a female protagonist to find all the missing pieces. I enjoyed this novel, even though I figured out the big secret before the "ah ha" moment.



The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Spine-Chilling Suspense

What does Laura Bannister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoyed Ms. Bannister's soft telling of this eerie tale. I was able to lose myself in the storytelling and could easily picture the various characters. My only critique would be her Spanish pronunciations. A little bit of coaching would have gone a long way for this narration.

Any additional comments?

Enjoyable mystery

Any additional comments?

Mystery thriller with dash of paranormal.

Murder, cheating spouses, kidnapping, an innocent man, a missing brother, astrology, and a young boys "psychic/past life" dreams.

Jay Hutchin, a judge and murderer desperate to hide his deeds.
Kit Parrish a defense attorney, hired to defend Steve Poulten who is accused of killing starlet Diane Jackson.
Pete Beaupre, Kit Parrish's brother who disappeared 10 years ago.
Ben Webster, an FBI agent recently assigned to reinvestigate Pete Beaupre's disappearance.

There are actually several different mystery's intertwined and connected to the main character's of the story. Although some things that happen are easy to figure out pretty early on, there are a couple of plot twists that you don't see coming and the story is told in a way that keeps it entertaining and interesting.


Laura Bannister did a great job with the narration. Nice even pace, distinct character voices, easy voice to listen to, her narration fit the story perfectly.
