13 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 15 to read
The newest novel from Ronald H. Balson, the international bestselling author of Once We Were Brothers, finds private investigator Liam Taggart returning to his childhood home for an uncle's funeral, only to discover his death might not have been natural. When his uncle dies, Liam Taggart reluctantly returns to his childhood home in Northern Ireland for the funerala home he left years ago after a bitter confrontation with his family, never to look back. But when he arrives, Liam learns that not only was his uncle shot to death, but that hed anticipated his own murder: In an astonishing last will and testament, Uncle Fergus has left his entire estate to a secret trust, directing that no distributions be made to any person until the killer is found. Did Fergus know, but refuse to name, his killer? Was this a crime of revenge, a vendetta leftover from Northern Irelands bloody sectarian war? After all, the Taggarts were deeply involved in the IRA. Or is it possible that the killer is a family member seeking Ferguss estate? Otherwise, why postpone distributions to the heirs? Most menacingly, does the killer now have his sights on other family members? As his investigation draws Liam farther and farther into the past he has abandoned, he realizes he is forced to reopen doors long ago shut and locked. Now, accepting the appointment as sole trustee of the Fergus Taggart Trust, Liam realizes he has stepped into the center of a firestorm.

Mehso-so

Loved the fantastic narrator for this audiobook! While the story was well contextualized, I found it rather infuriating. It‘s super obvious about half way through who the villain is, but the main character keeps blundering around being sad as 2 more of his family members get picked off. Sorry, but for a man who is supposed to be a former CIA agent and a current PI I‘m disappointed. The ending is nice enough but by then I just wanted it to end.

Ronald H Balson speaking at Morristown Festival of Books is hilarious. He is telling the story of trying to get published (he thinks there's a stationery store that sells stock publisher rejection postcards) and self publishing. He ordered 1000 books and had to bring the boxes (16 books per box) into his house. He just gave a shout-out to women's book clubs for helping spread his book via word of mouth until publishers picked it up. 😎 #mfob

CocoReads Hidden Prey is part of the Lucas Davenport series by John Sandford. Crime thrillers. 7y
SilversReviews @CocoReads Thanks, CocoReads - I haven't read a John Sandford for ages - must be why I didn't recognize the title. 7y
angel1 @SilversReviews I am loving it!! About half way into it and I don't want to put it down! 7y
CocoReads I'm rereading these earlier ones but I'm actually trying to catch up. I had just decided to start all over again. 7y
SilversReviews @angel1 It was good. Have you read his first book? And is this the Anne Hollingsworth I graduated with? 7y
angel1 @SilversReviews the only other one I read of his is somebody I used to know but all of his are on my tbr list. My first name is actually Angel and I graduated westside high in Anderson SC. Does that match up? Lol 7y
SilversReviews @angel1 LOL - no...I graduated from a high school in PA. There is another Angel here that I thought was Anne I graduated with. Nice to meet you angel1. 7y
angel1 @SilversReviews lol...nice to meet you too!! That's why I love Litsy...meeting new friends all over the place! 7y
SilversReviews @angel1 It is wonderful to meet new folks and to talk about books. Can't beat those two things. 7y
SilversReviews @DebinHawaii Thanks for all the likes on all of my posts. 7y
DebinHawaii @SilversReviews You are welcome! 😀👍I am reading about 6 books currently ( I book hop as a moody reader) 😆 but hopefully I will be finishing this one up tonight. 7y
SilversReviews @DebinHawaii Wow on reading six books at once. I can only read one at a time. :) I read THE GOOD DAUGHTER by Alexandra Burt. I see you are reading the one by Karin Slaughter. I just finished listening to THE LYING GAME - it had a good twist, but the characters made me nervous with their choices. 7y
DebinHawaii @SilversReviews The Lying Game is on my library hold list --I don't remember if it was the audiobook or e-book though--my library sometimes does just one or the other in Overdrive. 7y
SilversReviews @DebinHawaii I have been using OverDrive a lot for audios. 7y
