Review: Deadly Pasts by Jason Letts, read by Trudi Knoedler

Deadly Pasts is the second book in the Agent Nora Wexler Mysteries written by Jason Letts. The action in Deadly Pasts picks up right after the events in the previous book, Deadly Accounts. After a successful case closure, FBI agent Nora returns to headquarters just to find out that her name has been removed from the bureau’s offices.

Without giving any spoilers away, I can tell you that she is put on administrative leave because of a security breach and, to kill the free time, she is pulled into an investigation of her own involving a cold case from when she was in college.

The writing style is easy to follow, the plot is interesting, the characters are compelling, but what elevates this audio production to an entirely new level is the excellent performance delivered by the talented Trudi Knoedler.

I thought that I will review this audiobook at a later date, but as soon as I started listening, I was pulled into the story thanks to Trudi who enriches and elevates the narrative experience with her unmistakable and instantly recognizable voice. She reads, she acts, she brings each character to life in another immersive production.

Deadly Pasts is another solid novel in a really promising series. So, if you’re in the mood for an interesting mystery with a fast moving plot and a beautiful narration, don’t hesitate to give it a try.
