The Truth You Told

Raisa Susanto, Book 2

By: Brianna Labuskes

Narrated by: Caroline Hewitt

A serial killer on death row challenges a forensic linguist to solve his final puzzle in a novel of breathtaking mind games by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Lies You Wrote.

Forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny lost his wife, Shay, to the very serial killer he’d hunted for five years. When Nathaniel Conrad—known as the Alphabet Man, for his love of tattooing codes onto his victims’ bodies—was condemned to death row, Callum thought the game of cat and mouse was over. But just before execution, Nathaniel drops a bombshell: he’s not the one who murdered Shay.

After analyzing the killer’s taunting, coded letters to authorities—one for each victim—FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto believes him. The discrepancies bear it out. So was it a copycat? A partner in crime? Or something more sinister? If Nathaniel knows the answer, Raisa fears he’ll be taking that closely guarded secret to his grave.

As Raisa and Callum are pulled into an investigation to solve Shay’s murder, it reopens old traumas that cut deeper than they could imagine. Before someone else dies, Raisa must decipher the unbelievable truth in an ever-twisting case built on a foundation of lies.

Pretty good Book #2

I enjoyed this one. The first of the series holds a special place on my bookshelf, but this was still a good follow-up. I love Raisa as a character in general, and I'm excited to continue to follow her story.

Soldier of my Heart

First, Kate is my favorite author. I hesitated not knowing if I wanted to read Tyler and Delphine’s story because … well I knew the ending but, what I would have missed! What we learn about Delphine and Tyler is such a beautiful story. Not only do we learn more about Tyler (and fall in love with him), but Delphine’s story is one you need to know to find the missing pieces of who she was and Tobias and Dominic’s story. And Tyler, he is the most beautiful soul. If you are fearful or hesitant -don’t wait. Pick up this book and enjoy the wonderful storytelling only Kate can deliver.

Very Interesting

Overall it was a great listen. I enjoyed the narration and the ending was mostly satisfying.

Didn’t realize it was series, and it was a great standalone!

This story grabbed me right from the start and keep me so interested. I kept thinking I knew who did it, but I was wrong at least four times. Great read!!

Awesome follow- through

After reading the first book, I thought that was the end of it; and I wasn't too happy with the ending. I did not realize there was a second book to follow up. This was great. Enjoyed it all.
