The first audiobook in a brand new series featuring New York Times best-selling author Denise Swanson's beloved Scumble River setting and characters, Dead in the Water is a gripping mystery that won't let you go until the end.

A twister, a kidnapping, and a murder - oh my! Scumble River may never be the same.

For school psychologist Skye Denison, there's certainly no place like home. When a violent tornado devastates her small hometown of Scumble River, she can't see how the community will ever recover - especially since town councilman Zeke Lyons appears to have perished in the twister.

But things get even worse for Skye when her police chief husband, Wally, disappears in the midst of investigating Zeke's death, and evidence arises pointing to foul play. Did Zeke really die in the storm, or was he murdered? And could Wally be next on the criminal's hit list?

Started rather slow, but got better a few chapters in. Would recommend as a light read - the American accent added variety.

Good for a light read

Really enjoyed this book, the characters were involving and the story lines was strong will listen to others in the series

Great story

This was a slowly moving story with a predictable ending. The narration wasn't for me and actually grated as she spoke too quickly. May suit some listeners but not me I'm afraid.

disappointing

Voices grate connections seem weird. A police force who don't talk to each other .

Not for me

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
a bit too cheesy for my liking with the overly romantic story but it was interesting enough to follow and finish the book.
