Mystery

I continue to enjoy this series and will follow it to its conclusion. The attempts at romance between the two main characters, thwarted at every juncture, is getting tiresome. I do hope this subplot moves ahead in the next two installments. I still strongly recommend this for readers who enjoy a good whodunnit with some characters worth following. (

Read It File It (short review): Truth Be Told by Hank Phillippi Ryan was my first book by the author but it won't be my last. I LOVED the case. This was a solid 4 or 4.5 on the mystery/thriller part. The relationship drama got on my nerves but that might have been due to me jumping in book 3. Overall, this was really enjoyable.

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated By Xe Sands / Length: 12 hrs and 14 mins

Xe Sands did a wonderful job with all the characters in Truth Be Told. I am quite impressed at how well she pulled off the several male voices (they were unique, appropriate for age, and not girly). She was dead-on for all the women characters. Loved the newspaper lady! I would listen to her narrate this series again! (

The third in Ryan's Jane-and-Jake series, this one starts out a little disjointed as she begins numerous threads. However, things come together nicely as the story progresses. Jane is now working on the online edition of the newspaper, with a demanding boss who is briefly but nicely drawn. Jake is investigating the confession of a man who claims to have committed a twenty-year-old unsolved murder. Their paths converge repeatedly, along with an attorney who might be involved in several cases that both protagonists keep bumping into. At times it reads as a comedy of errors, but Ryan ratchets up the tension in the last quarter of the book. I'm enjoying this series but wish that things between Jane and Jake would progress a little.
