Fog of Dead Souls

A Thriller

By: Jill Kelly

Narrated by: Robin Miles

When college professor Ellie McKay walks into the Maverick Bar in Farmington, New Mexico, late one evening, she plans to get drunk, not engaged. But within 30 minutes, she’s met cowboy Al Robison, he’s proposed to her, and she’s accepted. Al only knows that Ellie is attractive, vulnerable, and single; he doesn’t know that she has been on the run for weeks from a sociopath who killed her surgeon boyfriend in Pennsylvania and raped and tortured her. Reeling from the ordeal and deeply scarred emotionally and physically, Ellie flees first to Paris, where she seeks refuge in the bottle. Then, coming to her senses, she returns to Pittsburgh to resume her life and her career, believing she will be safe there. When that proves untrue, she takes to the road, no longer caring much what happens to her. Ellie’s escape route leads her to Santa Fe and then north to Farmington, where Al seems the safest bet. When she says yes to Al’s proposal, she knows only that he is a local rancher. She doesn’t know about Al’s own dark past, and she doesn’t tell him that her heart belongs to Doug Hansen, the detective who originally investigated the case.

Ending Was Unfinished

Disappointing to see the heroine marry Al who may or not be alive and then move on with seemingly no regrets to Hanson. Had I known the ending would be so poorly written I would not have wasted my time.

Needs a new narrator

The story was intriguing, great twists, but the narrator was horrible. She has this staccato like cadence that was continually annoying... unfortunate choice for a good story.

Did not like narration

Enjoyed the story, could have been edited a bit, narration was off, mans voice was stilted.

The. Narration. Was. Too. Staccato.

That’s it. The narrator read the book in this jittery almost mechanical way.
The story theme was interesting and I hung in there to find out who the killer was, but the ending seemed rushed and incomplete.
Glad it was an included book.

Fog of Dead Souls

The time shift threw me at first, but it didn't take me long to get what was happening. Even by the end though, I didn't understand the "why" of the killer. And maybe that is just something that I like to know. The story did wrap up at the end, but I wanted to know about what happened with Al. I liked it enough to listen all the way through even though the end was not everything I had hoped for. I am glad I listened to it.
