I'm in. I got the audiobook
I'm in too. I'll pick up the book.
Hopefully your library will get it by then ;)
Nah, it's not even on order yet. I'll probably end up buying it. At least it's not expensive.
I listened to 20 minutes of it. This is the first time I'm listening to a Fatal book. Not a fan of the narrator's voice. She sounds too childish to be Sam. Have you listened to any of the books?
I've listened to a bunch of them. If it's the same narrator, she does make Sam seem very flippant at times.
I picked up the ebook tonight, so plan to start reading it tomorrow.

Weirdly, there are two different narrators for this book. Eva Kaminsky narrates the CD and MP3 versions; Felicity Munro narrates the Audible version.
I think I may have only listened to Felicity Munro, though some of my audio versions have Eva Kaminsky and one has a third narrator.
I really liked the two I listened to be Eva Kaminsky. Munro sounded shrill on the sample I listened to for this book.

ShoSho, let me see if my copy is lendable.
Well, I've started reading. I was feeling resistant, but it's moving quickly. Just keep the sickies far away from me. That sounds awful.And, I can hardly believe Sam just went along with Josh and took him home. She had nothing but his say-so to go on. Really?
Lara wrote: "And, I can hardly believe Sam just went along with Josh and took him home. She had nothing but his say-so to go on. Really? "
That was surprising! It was so out of character for her.

It was! I'm thinking the entire way Sam's dealing with this case is different. Of course, getting involved when she shouldn't is normal, but the way she's just going along with what he says is unusual.
I'm a little over 1/3 through and have to go to bed. But, Josh is strange. I can't get a good feel for him at all. His daddy sounds like a real piece of work, too.
The situation with Nick was pretty scary. I'd be freaked out in that same situation. And now Sam's mom is part of he story as well. There is waaaaaay too much going on (as usual) in this book.
What did you think of the scene with Gonzo?

The scene where he was drinking and the whiskey bottle was thrown on the coffee table?
Hmmm Well I was expecting him to be messed up after Arnold's death but what he said to Christina was really hurtful. Still it was believable. People say things in their grief that they don't really mean. I hope he doesn't go any lower than he already has.

I'm at about to start chapter 8 and you're right! There is waay too much going in this book.
I don't trust Josh. I think he's hiding something or there's more behind this whole thing that Josh seeing a resemblance in the photo and coming to Sam.

That was a really low moment. As you say, it was realistic, especially coupled with alcohol.
Okay, I just finished it. I wasn't sure when I started, but I liked this one. By the end I felt the writing was very natural, and I could really see and hear the characters interacting. At the end Force states that this book was a turning point since it was published in multiple formats at once. I felt it was a turning point in that it was less about violence and more about detecting and relationships. (view spoiler)And there were some weird relationships in this one. I was not at all surprised by who was the killer, but the back story took me by surprise. I mean WOW (view spoiler)
I thought the situation with Gonzo was handled well. It didn't dominate, but was woven into the story in multiple ways. And his process was realistic as well. It was a horrible situation.
And it looks like Sam's mom will be included in future books. That will be interesting.
I'm 40% I like how it's going so far. The only thing I wish it wasn't there is Avery's reaction to Sam.I also liked that Sam ended up admitting she'd made mistake by bringing Josh home.

I so agree about Avery. I thought we were past that, so having it show up again was a drag. And, it was nice that Sam admitted that she shouldn't have brought a stranger into her home just because its safe from outside forces. That seemed like the type of act that she would criticize civilians for.
Chapter 16Why does he have to be at her scenes?!

I was really surprised about this Avery stuff. I thought we were past that already and it made me feel his relationship with Tinkerbell is shaky.

I really hope that's over now! I don't want to see anymore of the stuff in the future books.

I really liked how Gonzo's story progressed. It was very realistic and emotional.
Yes, this one seemed to have most of the violent action take place off the page, as it were. Since life has been stressful, I enjoyed the more quiet feel of this book's progress.
I finally finished this. I enjoyed most of this book except for two things bugged me. I didn't like (view spoiler) My fave part of this series is Nick's complete devotion to Sam, even when she's mean and disrespectful to him, and of course, Scotty. He's adorable.
Silvia, I agree. I wish that aspect of the series would just be laid to rest. I was so disappointed that it showed up again.
I agree. It was very confusing, especially since Marie Force said that's never, never, never gonna happen.
Lara wrote: "Silvia, I agree. I wish that aspect of the series would just be laid to rest. I was so disappointed that it showed up again."Lara, it's almost like the author is keeping that (view spoiler) If that's the case I'm gonna be one pissed off reader.
Silvia, see my post above.
Jonetta wrote: "I agree. It was very confusing, especially since Marie Force said that's never, never, never gonna happen."Jonetta, I didn't realize the author said that. If that's so then stop writing that into the storyline. Enough!
Jonetta wrote: "Absolutely! It just makes me feel even worse for [spoilers removed]."Oh yeah. It was pretty crappy on that end.
Every family has its secrets…
As the first anniversary of her marriage to Vice President Nick Cappuano approaches, Lieutenant Sam Holland is dreaming of Bora Bora—sun, sand and a desperately needed break from the DC grind. But real life has a way of intervening, and Sam soon finds herself taking on one of the most perplexing cases of her career.
Government worker Josh Hamilton begs Sam to investigate his shocking claim that his parents stole him from another family thirty years ago. More complicated still, his "father" is none other than the FBI director. When a member of Josh's family is brutally murdered, Sam begins to question how deep this cover-up goes. Is it possible the revered director was part of a baby-napping ring and that others involved are also targets?
With a killer intent on deadly revenge and her team still reeling from a devastating loss, Sam's plate is full—and when Nick and their son, Scotty, take ill, is her dream of a tropical anniversary celebration in peril too?
