I just finished up an audio book The Heavens May Fall by  Allen Eskens.  I’m always looking for a good mystery type book and I was hoping this one might be it.
When I selected the audio book to put in my cart from my on line library I didn’t realize that the book was from the same author who wrote The Life We Bury
As I was reading I almost felt like this might be a book that have a pre-quel and it turns out it does. Â I should have listened to The Guise of Another
So what’s the story about…I’ll let Amazon tell you, “Detective Max Rupert and attorney Boady Sanden’s friendship is being pushed to the breaking point. Max is convinced that Jennavieve Pruitt was killed by her husband, Ben. Boady is equally convinced that Ben, his client, is innocent. As the case unfolds, the two are forced to confront their own personal demons.
Â
Max is still struggling with the death of his wife four years earlier, and the Pruitt case stirs up old memories. Boady hasn’t taken on a defense case since the death of an innocent client, a man Boady believes he could have saved but didn’t. Now he is back in court, with student Lila Nash at his side, and he’s determined to redeem himself for having failed in the past.
Â
Vividly told from two opposing perspectives, the truth about the stunning death of Jennavieve Pruitt remains a mystery until the very end.”
Amazon readers gave the book 4.7 stars. Â I totally agree. Â If you’re looking for a new cop/murder/mystery, this is a good one. Â I recommend it!!
Sounds like a great book. I read a lot of mysteries and scifi fantasy. I love great characters as well, but they don’t have to be human or all human…giggle.
