About this listen
When the chief finally tosses her a case, she's thrilled until she gets a look at the scene and realizes he's probably setting her up to be exiled once and for all: the victim is unidentified, and there are no witnesses, and no leads. Just the body, chopped into pieces and dropped in a Dumpster - gruesome enough to ensure that, once again, the media will be following Lena's every move.

For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself.

More Gamble Novels Please!
I choose this book because it was narrated by Deanna Hurst and the book sounded interesting. I'm so glad I did! Robert Ellis has a new fan. I was blown away by the way he formed an assassin into a facinating character you won't be able to forget. Lots of surprises in this book! I'm hoping for many more Lena Gamble novels.

No One To Thrust
I love this series, See all the positive reviews. Narrator for book one and two are good. I checked out this narrator on a catalog plus book and laugh my heart out. She did a great job on this book. It’s a long one and that’s what I like about this author because it’s about the journey not just solving the mystery. Not a lot of repetition which I like and there are enough characters to keep it Interesting. Talk about moral dilemmas.!!!! I do use the 1.2 speed to match the action The author intended. it does make a difference give it a try. Both Shelly and Wayne have recommended this author for another series Read by Nick Podel and it’s in my wish list. I’m hoping it’s not too dark but Shelly said that if you can handle Karen Slaughter which I can, I should be OK.
Were my comments of help?

Refreshing twist but a low energy story
Okay, I can recommend this as an entirely forgettable, but useful listen if you need something to distract your mind while tread-milling. Ellis is a commercial writer. He knows all about pace, narrative, story arcing... Yep, he's got all that stuff in his tool kit. But I really didn't much care about Lena Gamble's odd struggles with her superiors. Instead, I grumbled about another lazy writer who found contention in the old chestnut of inter office friction. But.. but... plot twisties overcame that objection and hid some of the endings predictability. Well, sorta....
Need a safe police procedural to fill a commute? The Lost Witness will do that, especially since Deanna Hurst SIZZLES as a narrator. She can do believable men's voices! I'll look for her name from now on.

Lost witness
I have to say then ending was really good. The story lost my interest a few times. It's strange how Lena would be smart about some things and then sorta dumb on others for a cop. One thing I thought would be nice was inserting Mathew jones since she came from that story. Everything was the same where Matt was I think it was a different chief tho. Could be wrong. The reader sounds real robotic and that kinda bothered me but, I did enjoy the story on to the next
