Empty Ever After, by Reed Farrel Coleman, b, Narrated by Andy Caploe, Produced by Audible Inc., downloaded from audible.com.

Moe Prager is living alone in this fifth novel in the series. He has a fragile relationship restored with his daughter, but Katie doesn’t want to see him. Then, he gets word that the grave of his brother-in-law, Patrick, has been robbed of his body. He further hears that there has been some tampering of Patrick’s lover’s grave in Ohio. Then, a look-alike to Patrick starts turning up where either Moe or Katie can see him. The look-alike is so similar in looks to Patrick that Katie has a mental breakdown and tries to commit suicide. But Moe knows that Patrick is dead, and pursues the case even after the police believe they’ve found the person who instigated the look-alike activity and who committed several murders. This book was not very satisfying to me, although it did tie up the loose ends once and for all. Moe had to revisit his cases and everyone who had reason to hate him. This meant going over old ground in the cases which made up the other four books in the series. In tying up the ends I felt that Coleman implemented a sort of scorched earth policy. I guess I hope we’re done with Moe now. Andy Caploe has narrated all of the books and has done a really good job especially of establixhing a Moe Prager character.
