About this listen
Montezuma County Sheriff's detective, Jude Devine doesn't face too many challenges based in remote Paradox Valley, where most of the crime involves hiker assaults, campsite thefts, and cattle rustling. However, when the body of local teenager shows up with a stake through her heart, Jude finds herself leading an investigation no one wants to touch. As Jude uncovers the truth about the murder and tries to save a young girl from being forced into a marriage, she must decide how much she is willing to risk to see justice done. Further complicating her choices is her torrid entanglement with the golden girl of Southwestern forensic pathology, Dr. Mercy Westmoreland.
From best-selling romance author Jennifer Fulton writing as Rose Beecham.

Story
Jodi Grant had plans—a job interview that held promise and a date with a real woman who didn't only exist in her mind. What she had not planned on was a trip . . . at gunpoint when her father dropped a bombshell in her lap . . . at his own funeral. Dr. Blair Whittington went to Peru in search of ancient artifacts. What she discovered was the illegal antiquities trade in which she had unwittingly become embroiled. Betrayed by Nicolas Grant, Blair must rely on his estranged daughter, the key to her freedom.

Story
Tough and demanding LAPD Detective Kate Delafield is the leader of the investigation into a high-rise office building murder. The case is intriguing but routine - until Kate interviews the only witness, Ellen O'Neil. When Ellen O'Neil took her new job over the objections of her lover, she wasn't expecting to become embroiled in murder. The curiosity that Kate Delafield rouses is equally unexpected. But it is never far from Ellen's mind that she is merely a name on an interview sheet to the tight-lipped detective.

Captain Sabine Fleischer is a skilled and dedicated US Army surgeon deployed to a combat hospital in Afghanistan. She is also one of the thousands of troops who are forced to serve in silence because of the military's anti-gay policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)". Usually driven and focused, Sabine finds that battles raging both inside and outside are making it more and more difficult for her to deal with her emotions. Dealing with loss and mortality, lack of privacy, sleep deprivation, loneliness, and the isolation forced on her by Don't Ask, Don't Tell are all taking their toll.

Story
Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe’s life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department’s brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei’s morgue.

The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease.

perfect fiction
i love how jude devine is a sexy tough character but also believable and human. the storyline is complicated, not just good and bad guys. interesting and thoughtful suspense. the romantic interest isn't the main point of the story and isn't totally lame. what a pleasure to read.
the only bad thing about this series is that there are only 3 books as far as i can tell. write more please!

Meh.....
Where does Grave Silence rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was a good book and insight into another world, but it seemed forced. I like the growth of the characters, but it felt slow. This a good listen, but you must be patient.
Would you ever listen to anything by Rose Beecham again?
Absolutely, because I want to see the growth of the characters.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Her pitch and timber was very masculine even though I know she was a more "butch" female. I wish it was not so stereotypical.

Jude Devine is a Cool undercover FBI agent!
If you could sum up Grave Silence in three words, what would they be?
AWESOME LESBIAN MYSTERY! The book is a very good mystery, with a lot of information about the 4 corners area, along with a lot of information on the Mormon's Polygamy groups and how they operate just outside the law and get by with it. And you get all this information from the POV of a lesbian woman, And there are other people to Identify with, June's deputy who had a need to prove himself but was always out of step with the other cops, There is the young ex-Mormon woman desperate to get her little sister out of the hands of the Polygamist. It is a full rich novel full of characters, including Jude's love interest, Dr. Westmorland The renowned ME from Grand Junction. Keeping Jude on a tight rope. As I said the novel is very rich and full and well written by MS. Beecham,
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jude who was full of secrets, I could go on and on about them, but they would need spoilers. She is just so cool. And the Mystery so well written.
Have you listened to any of Kim Baldwin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Is this the same Kim Baldwin the writer? When does she have time to read other peoples work unless Rose Beechum is Kim Baldwin because Rose Beechum is a pen name, I know she wrote under several names, Still Kim Baldwin is like a hugely successful writer. I love her work, Unless this is a different Kim Baldwin at any rate she is a very good reader. She brings Jude alive. Makes you love Jude.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wish I had that kind of time, as it was I almost listen to most of it in one night, but I didn't get much sleep. I normally listen to books at night to sleep, Which means backing them up and listening to them over and over,
Any additional comments?
This a great book!!! And I hope they record the other two Jude Devine Novels. The Trilogy is a great set, I always wished Beechum would of written more books but I guess commercially they didn't sale well, Lesbian books don't sale six million copies.

A Standout Mystery Abysmally Narrated
Nearly flawless mystery/drama/thriller and one the best lesbian novels I've experienced about a lonesome detective in Colorado attempting to solve a murder of a young girl that originated in Utah. There are a number of delightful subplots and, as a whole, the book is a refreshing departure from the average Bella or Broad Strokes fare, with a flawed, realistic lesbian lead that lacks all the hallmarks of a Mary Sue and whom you never stop rooting for. This is my favorite book in a long while, lesbian or otherwise, and I will wait maddeningly for the next entry in the series.
The narrator, though, is absolutely horrible. I understand that Kim Baldwin is an accomplished author, but as a narrator Kim's thick Midwestern accent, headache-inducing whistle on her soft C's and 'S's and flat, emotionless delivery made listening to a stellar novel excruciating.
Unless you'd like to hear Hillary Clinton on Dramamine or Frances McDormand circa Fargo describing lesbian sex and thrilling standoffs with all the excitement of a C-SPAN filibuster, I'd STRONGLY recommend listening to the sample for yourself and just reading this terrific novel via paperback or Kindle.

Awful
Way too much detail about the Abusive treatment of teens, both male and female who are a part of an LDS polygamist cult. It might be reality but it was nothing I wanted to listen to in great detail. The narrator is an author and in my opinion should stick to it. I only made it through about 2 hours of this one before the combination of those two factors convinced me to give it up.
