Tell No Lies

By: Allison Brennan

Narrated by: Suzanne T. Fortin

The unsolved murder of a young activist leads to the discovery of much darker crimes in New York Times best-selling author Allison Brennan’s latest compelling thriller to feature the young, edgy detective Kara Quinn and the loner FBI agent Matt Costa. This time they work to uncover possible ties to a high-stakes cartel in the Southwest desert.

Something mysterious is killing the wildlife in the mountains just south of Tucson. When a college intern turned activist sets out to collect her own evidence, she, too, ends up dead. Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That’s when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.

Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker - greed, child trafficking and more death. As the body count adds up, it’s clear they have stumbled onto much more than they bargained for. Now they must figure out who is at the heart of this mayhem and stop them before more innocent lives are lost.

One of her better

I enjoyed the story and the pace of the book Will look forward to the next one The beginning is a little slow but progressively got better

Hard to follow

There are a lot of characters and the narrator doesn't vary the voices enough to distinguish between characters. It's hard to follow. Didn't finish.

Good story. Performance could be better.

Loved the story. The narrator was a little stiff and enunciated a little too hard most of the time and it distracted from the story. Otherwise liked it a lot.

ok

Good story line, but told awkwardly at times. Narrator didn't improve it. Not bad, and I did enjoy the book. But not great.

Another great story!!!!!

I can't wait for the next one! Many twist and turns. Couldn't stop listening. The narrator did a great job

Decent story , execution lacked

Overall I thought the story line it’s self was pretty good . It was the book’s description that initially caught my attention , I thought it was unique and sounded interesting. One of my issues with the book was the unrealistic dialogue and actions of the characters. I felt like things were over explained. This was done to give context for readers that might not be familiar with certain aspects the book was trying to depict but it added to the unrealisticness. I thought the characters were lacking . Parts of the story lacked creativeness , and some aspects were predictable and unexciting. The narration was mediocre. All in all I didn’t hate it, the ending was more exciting than other parts . This book would not make my top list of favorites but it want horrible.

Great story

I enjoyed this book so much. Any free moment I had to listen to it I did.

couldn't get enough

loved the story. must have more of kari and Quin. Best fbi thriller ever. good characters.

Overall, a good story, good plot, good narration,

Overall, I liked this book. The plot is very feasible with quite a few twists along the way, so it always keeps you guessing at what exactly is really going on. There is chemistry between Costa and Quinn, but nothing too explicit so I think it was tastefully done.

One of the benefits of reading a book verses watching a movie is that you really have an opportunity to get into the head of the characters, and know what they're thinking, and hear them reason out clues and such - this book did this masterfully, and you really got to know Quinn and Costa really well as a result. Most of the other characters in the book are seen through the eyes of these two, although there are a few more that give some insight along the way.

The narrator did a pretty good job; she tried to make her voice sound deeper for male characters and more feminine for female ones or children. I did have a bit of a hard time making out who was saying what about mid-way through, as she didn't seem to do this for a little while, but then started again near the last quarter of the book; her voice is pleasant enough, so it's not really too big of a deal.

Overall, I think this was a good story, with a lot of good supporting characters (Costa and Quinn being the major ones). The story has a lot of depth and has a story behind a story, so it kept my interest throughout.

If you like a good mystery, like following along with the thought process of investigating clues, and like getting into the minds of characters in a book, I think you'll like this one quite a bit.

The ending, in my opinion, left a little to be desired, as it seemed it was wrapped up too quickly, in relation to the rest of the book - almost as if it was rushed. Also, were two things, in specific, that were not explained, so that seems to support the idea that it was a little rushed. I will not explain what seems to have not been elaborated on, as I don't want to leave any spoilers.

If you found this review helpful, please give it a like or thumbs up. Thanks.

Lots of twists

Very good with suspense and with lots of potential suspects. popping up. i would recommend.
