Lone Jack Trail

De: Owen Laukkanen

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell, Courtney Patterson

A veteran Marine and an ex-convict find themselves on opposite sides of the law in this propulsive new thriller from award-nominated suspense master and "damn fine storyteller" Owen Laukkanen (Kirkus Reviews).

Could your closest friend be a killer?

When a body washes up outside Deception Cove, Washington, Jess Winslow-once a US Marine, now a trainee sheriff's deputy-is assigned to investigate. But when she realizes it's "Bad" Brock Boyd, a hometown celebrity lately fallen from grace, things become complicated. The last person seen with Boyd was her own boyfriend, Mason Burke.

An ex-convict and newcomer in town, Mason is one of the only people who can understand Jess's haunting memories of her time in Afghanistan-and her love for Lucy, her devoted service dog. Finding one another in Deception Cove has been the best thing to happen to either of them in years. So Jess knows Mason could never be guilty of murder-doesn't she?

As the facts of the case point ever more squarely at Mason, Jess must face that everything she thinks she knows about him might be wrong. A thrilling sequel to Deception Cove, and a heart-pounding adventure all its own, Lone Jack Trail pushes Jess and Mason to a shocking confrontation and will test everything they've come to love and trust in Deception Cove.

PRAISE FOR OWEN LAUKKANEN
"Owen Laukkanen sure as hell knows how to tell a story." —Nick Petrie, national bestselling author of The Drifter

"Laukkanen is a damn fine storyteller."— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Owen Laukkanen is a powerhouse writer... Intimate and cinematic at the same time. A must-read."—Alex Segura, author of Blackout

"In Deception Cove, Owen Laukkanen gives you everything you could want in a thriller -- rich setting, breakneck pacing, thrilling action, a ton of heart, and a great dog. This is a cancel-your-plans-so-you-can-stay-in-to-read book."—Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse

Easy to listen to and decent characters

Liked the way the author tackled a female military character and her troubles adjusting back into life as a working woman.

Readers mispronounced local names

The book was good but every time the readers mispronounced names it distracted from the story...especially Port An-juh-less, not an-juh-eeze. Took me right out of the story, every time. How hard is it to research and use proper pronunciation? Sloppy.

Fantastic

This book was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about it. I actually live not to far from Port Angeles so it was fun to read. Lots of action. Kept me on the edge of my seat a few times.

Intriguing

This novel was a delightful sequel to Deception Cove. War veteran Jess Winslow, ex-con Mason Burke, and their service dog Lucy become intertwined in a murder case that tests their ties. The narrators continue to do a great job on this series.

Good story.

Too much violence and foul language for my taste. I think this book was a sequel. I should have listened to the deception cove book first. I may listen to that one, since it's hard to let go of the characters when the book is over.
