    The Lesson of Her Death

    Written by Jeffery Deaver

    Narrated by Tanya Eby

    3.5/5

    About this audiobook

    Bill Corde looks down at the face of the murdered girl and sees the horror of sudden death. He cannot know, as he stands there at the trampled, muddy scene beside the college girl's corpse, that his own life is about to slip into terror. He cannot know that everything he holds precious is about to shatter before his eyes. He cannot know that his career-and his family-are about to enter a new dimension of danger.

    For Bill Corde, the killer is everything he fears most. For Sarah, Bill's wild, learning-impaired daughter, trapped in a world of frustration and ridicule, he may be just the person she's been waiting for. Someone who understands her worries and loneliness. Someone who signs his notes "The Sunshine Man." Someone she can run away with-even a perfect stranger.

      Engaging story. What I consider a “beach” read and enjoyable. My main complaint is the narration, or rather what I assume is the editing of the narration. Aside from the starts of new chapters, there is no pause between changes of scene. If you’re not paying very close attention (typically not the way a “beach” read is consumed) this can be confusing. I can’t believe this is the narrators fault, but the editing. A 2 or 3 second pause between scenes would be very helpful to signal such a change. This is a problem I’ve observed in other audiobooks as well. Anyone listening?

      Wow. This was a recipe for disaster. A pinch of sexual depravity, a drop of a clairvoyant detective and a dash of lack of imagination. Spoiler alert, a mother lusting over her son put me right over the edge. As if kids performing necrophilia wasn’t bad enough. Rather than fill voids with words the writer simply made leaps that otherwise never would have been made. The book was read well enough. That is to say she did the best with what she had to work with. But it wasn’t enough to bring the rating higher than one star.

      After reading "Roadside Crosses" I went to the library and looked up other books the library had by Jeffery Deaver. This was the earliest book they had, though I think there are earlier books by this author. I don't think "The Lesson..." was as good as "Roadside...".
