WHEN SHADOWS FALL

In coastal Oregon, middle-aged ex-policewoman Helen Bradley hears the phone ring. This ordinary event is followed by a cluster of extraordinary mysteries. First, her husband, retired from the CIA, leaves without telling her where he's going or why. Then, walking a favorite beach, she finds the town's mayor stabbed to death. She barely has time to report the death before her best friend is accused of the crime. But Helen still has friends on the force, and they're as determined as she is to find the answers. Cristine McMurdo-Wallis's naturally husky voice enlivens Rushford's fourth inspirational whodunit featuring Bradley. This action-packed thriller makes listeners reluctant to stop the tape. E.V.
