About this listen
When an earthquake strikes San Francisco, forensics expert Jessie Teska faces her biggest threat yet in this explosive new mystery from the New York Times best-selling duo.
There’s a body crushed under a load of pipes on a San Francisco construction site, and medical examiner Dr. Jessie Teska is on call. So it’s her job to figure out who it is - and her headache when the autopsy reveals that the death is a homicide staged as an accident.
Jessie is hot on the murderer’s trail, then an earthquake sends her and her whole city reeling. When the dust clears, her case has fallen apart and an innocent man is being framed. Jessie knows she’s the only one who can prove it, and she races to piece together the truth - before it gets buried and brings her down in the rubble.
With Melinek and Mitchell’s trademark blend of propulsive prose, deft plotting, and mordant humor, this rollicking new installment in the Jessie Teska Mystery series will shake you up and leave you rattled.

1991. A restless young man called Dox is back home in Texas. His friends have missed him, and his mother and sisters need him. But after four years as a Marine and another two as a CIA contractor fighting the Soviet Union alongside the Afghan mujahideen, small-town life in Abilene is a suffocating dead end. Another secret war, this one in Southeast Asia, offers a big payday and the solution to his family’s troubles. But secret wars are never what they’re billed to be, and Dox is about to get the education of his young life.

When a years-long case against a powerful mobster finally cracks and an unimpeachable witness takes the stand, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton is looking forward to putting the defendant away for good. The mobster, though, has other plans. As the witness's testimony concludes, a note is passed to the prosecution offering up information into the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment just days before. It's enough to blow the case wide open, and to send Nora into a high-stakes investigation of conspiracy, corruption, and danger.

Decent, but wishing it was more like the first book
I'm struggling to get through this one, which is sad after enjoying the first book so much. Dr. Teska just isn't as likable in this one, she comes across as abrasive and illogical. The side plots keep losing my interest and I wish the story focused more the case at the center and less on the musings of her personal life. That said still a decent read.

Interesting listen
I enjoyed listening to the book. I wanted a nice non educational listen that was based on what could be true and I got it.

Master of all too. The heroine is more than a super woman, she'd definitely more than a medical examiner too. Just make her a serious investigator and it might explain all that she does. Just got worn out from everything she was involved in.

loved the first one, this one was just ok
story was kinda predictable and the main character makes 1 bad decision after another . I loved the end of the first book in regards to love life but was disappointed by how it turned out and that really was a huge downside for me at least.
