A Lighthouse for the Lonely Heart

A Garrison Gage Mystery, Book 5

By: Scott William Carter

Narrated by: Steven Roy Grimsley

They find his body at the bottom of Heceta Head Lighthouse - Ed Boone, a longtime volunteer who commits suicide rather than see his grim diagnosis to its bitter end. The strangeness of the old man's death makes the local news, but Garrison Gage thinks little of it until the famous Nora West sneaks into town with a strange letter in hand.

Professing he wants to go to his grave with a clear conscience, Ed claims to be Nora's biological father. But the revelation stirs up all kinds of complicated emotions for the talented but troubled musician, who hires Gage to find out the truth.

Yet the truth may be a lot more disturbing - and dangerous - than either of them are prepared to believe.

Gripping and Suspenseful

Have listened to the complete series. Enjoyed this addition to the Garrison Gage Mystery series. Looking forward to Book 6, written by Scott William Carter and hopefully narrated by Steven Roy Grimsley.

One of his best in this series.

We have listened to this series from book one and think book one and then this book are the best. We look forward to downloading his next in this series.

Gage is Back

Garrison returns to solve the mystery of a body found in the rocks at Heceta Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. There's mystery, suspense, and lots of action, from fighting to romance. The return of familiar characters like Alex, the bookstore owner and Zoe, his adoptive daughter, lets you sink into this one-of-a-kind retired FBI agent's life. He's a rebel, sarcastic and witty, yet humble. The story unfolds amidst stunning descriptions of the gorgeous coastal landscapes. This character makes you wish he was real. Oh, and this book introduces Lady, a little dog who manages to unthaw the curmudgeon's heart. The narrator is excellent and performs male and female roles in a believable way! This book leaves me anxiously awaiting the next!

There is definitely something Not right!

I think first, I am drawn to these books because of where they take place. As most humans, I am pulled to water. Many times in my life have been spent at lakes, or the oceans. A favorite place is in Maine, but the area around the north Pacific coast is where I have the strongest tie. These stories of Garison and presented with the "voice" of the Reader deliver the remembered perception. Each story in this set is different but alike. The people are known, there actions not known but somehow expected. Each story has a twist that makes Garison have to deal with "something is just not right". At the end, humm how did he come to that? The outcome of the story is always a bit haunting. I would encourage you to read the books in order, to get the full feel...the experience is ...worth it. This story is about a woman looking back. Lost to now, and unable to see the future. Also of a well planned action of a devious mind.

EXCELLENT. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE SERIES.

Scott William Carter did it again. Fantastic writing and well performed by Steven Roy Grimsley. Intense and gripping all through. Kept me awake the whole night to complete the book. Layers upon layers of secrets that kept me guessing who is actually the bad guy and what is the motive behind it all. Lots of suspense and gripping tensions throughout. Very, very good. I hope there will be more books for this series.

As a PNW coastal local I really enjoy this series.

I'm really enjoying this series. The narration is great, however the incorrect pronunciation of local towns and locations are painful for this local. Give me shout if you would like to hear how they should sound. ;)
