Dusty Road Home

De: Isabella

Narrado por: Heidi Bindhammer

Melanie Crenshaw has fallen off the proverbial map. Notoriously private on a good day, the world-famous mystery author has gone dark to avoid any public blowback or scandal from her latest failed relationship. Seeking quiet and solace, she retreats to her rural hometown, hoping isolation will be just the atmosphere she needs to finish her novel. But going back home is never as easy as it sounds, especially when a nosy reporter starts sniffing around.

Pulitzer-winning investigative journalist Pilar Stein has seen people at their worst—and has the scars to prove it. After taking time off to heal from a particularly brutal assignment, she’s back in the saddle and ready to reclaim her place among the elite of hard-hitting reporters. Unfortunately, her re-entry story—a profile on elusive author Melanie Crenshaw who has suddenly disappeared—seems to lack the teeth necessary to catapult her back to the top of her game.

Appearances are deceiving, of course, and Pilar soon discovers that what she deems a simple fluff piece might well lead to the scoop of a generation…just not the one she expected.

As Melanie fights to maintain her privacy while Pilar takes a backhoe to her past, the two women find themselves torn between their own professional convictions and their growing attraction to each other. And no matter which road they take, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

WTF...

I didn't realize that I would be listening about someone who was a cheating homewrecker. Her personal code of ethics is trash. She might have been slightly more endearing if she showed remorse for screwing up 4 different lives.

Weak storyline

This had the potential to be really good however there was no meat and potatoes to it. There was no build up to the relationship or closure between the supporting character and the MC. Not very romantic either.

Retreat To The Country

Melanie Crenshaw, world famous mystery author, returns to her hometown to get away from the news of her affair with a prominent woman. On her trail his a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Pilar Stein. Still recovering from the brutal attack during her last investigation. The story appears to be an easy wrap but there are other secrets in Melanie’s life. Two strong women with lots of tension between them. Great listen.
