Story
Sorry. The single word is written on a mirror. In front of it hangs a Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned tragic? Either way, it wasn't murder. At least not according to the powers that be. But veteran homicide detective Sam Kovac and his wisecracking, ambitious partner, Nikki Liska, think differently. Together they begin to dig at the too-neat edges of the young cop's death, uncovering one motive - and one suspect - after another.

A peaceful Minnesota town, where crime is something that just doesn’t happen, is about to face its worst nightmare. A young boy disappears. There are no witnesses, no clues — only a note, cleverly taunting, casually cruel. Has a cold-blooded kidnapper struck? Or is this the reawakening of a long-quiet serial killer?

Publisher's Summary
He performs his profane ceremony in a wooded Minneapolis park, anointing his victims, then setting the bodies ablaze. He has already claimed three lives, and he won't stop there. Only this time there is a witness. But she isn't talking.
Enter Kate Conlan, former FBI agent turned victim/witness advocate. Not even she can tell if the reluctant witness is a potential victim or something more troubling still. Her superiors are interested only because the latest victim may be the daughter of Peter Bondurant, an enigmatic billionaire. When Peter pulls strings, Special Agent John Quinn gets assigned to the case. But the FBI's ace profiler of serial killers is the last person Kate wants to work with, not with their troubled history. Now she faces the most difficult role of her career - and her life. For she's the only woman who has what it takes to stop the killer... and the one woman he wants next.

great story, but enough with the breathy falsetto
Decent reading in other respects, but a woman's voice can be conveyed without using a register higher than than used by most women, or excessive breathiness. This effect fails most spectacularly when it is used to convey the shouting of an assertive woman.

Ashes to Ashes
Any additional comments?
Ashes to Ashes is a police procedural, approximately nineteen hours of listening, and narrated by David Colacci. There are a ton of reviews on Amazon/Audible that convey plot, you don’t need to hear much from me. It’s typical of Tami Hoag, i.e., good story, well written. Good guys, bad guy, thrills, chills, and a nice twist.
Narration is fine, good audio production.
Enjoy!

A Good Mystery
Would you consider the audio edition of Ashes to Ashes to be better than the print version?
I don't know that audio would be better than print it depends on your preference. I like to listen to books my husband likes to hold a book in his hands.
What did you like best about this story?
It kept me guessing. I went back and forth as who the guilty person was. It wasn't a complete surprise though so for me it was a good mystery.
What about David Colacci’s performance did you like?
I think his performance was good. I could keep up with who the characters were.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No I didn't have any extreme reactions. I like the banter back and forth with the characters that always makes me laugh.
Any additional comments?
The comments about the book being too graphic is a little harsh. Yes the description of the burning bodies was a little hard to hear but without that then you would have a teen novel. If you can't handle that then you shouldn't listen to it but that is okay that is their preference. I enjoyed the book.

Ok, but...
a little overkill on the dialogue regarding the relationship between Kate and John. Even with the ending, it went on and on and on and on...
As a thriller, it is a good story. Compelling, gruesome and not entirely predictable. Not sorry I bought it as I am a fan of Hoag's. Just wish it would have been a little "tighter."

Good story!
The story and writing were both excellent. The reason for the three stars is it was so drawn out. The twists and surprises of the book prove what an excellent writer Tami Hoag is and I will undoubtedly read the rest of this series and other books by her. I just wish it didn't take a whole chapter (or 7) to explain the smallest of detail.

Damsel In Distress Romance Torture Novel. Ho-Hum
Never listened to Tami Hoag before, but kept getting recommendations from Audible. Soooo.... I figured that with David Colacci reading it might not be aimed entirely at a bodice buster market.
Nope, wrong. Square jawed FBI super-star but tragically-at-war-with-his-inner-angst-hunk John Quinn, and drop-dead-gorgeous-blonde FBI agent turned fiesty victim/witness-advocate Kate Conlan are THROWN together in Minneapolis to look too far-and-wide (when they should have looked near-and-dear) for the ghastly cretin, THE CREMATOR. And (startle, surprise) they seem to ignite old embers of a long ago love which - inexplicably to me - went cool in Washington.
Is there a surprise anywhere in all of this? Well yeah, Hoag's bad-guy is made so predictable to make room for multi-page make-up sex scenes that are a sort of squishy fem-porn.
Okay, this wasn't aimed at male readers. And judging by Hoag's sales, there are lots of ladies who get off on this stuff. So if you do, and like your love rough... Hey, enjoy. Me? Not so much.
Oh Colacci reads well, keeps the characters in their own spaces, but lapses from time to time into a Scott Brick impersonation. I don't think that's a recommendation, but lots of folks do... So, it's your call. Mine is to never listen or read another Hoag.

keeps you guessing
usually i read books but have enjoyed listening as eye sight not what it used to be. The story keeps you guessing, with twists that normally when reading i can work out the ending however have enjoyed although tend to fall asleep and have to rewind, where as if your read you stop and start where you left off. Had to listen to end so now 0200am as needed to know what happened, very good book.

Hard going
I slogged my way through this story, wanting many times to just return it but felt I should give the while story a chance. I was a bit disappointed having read and enjoyed a couple of other Tami Hoag novels. . The characterisations, particularly of police and other justice officers and their ‘banter’, I found totally unbelievable-they are carictures. Not sure the narrator had much choice but to portray the voices in the way that he did, but I found it irritating. Not sure whether I will try another Tami Hoag as an audiobook.

Awful don’t waste your time or money!!
This is the worst audio book I have ever listened to; badly written the story is not engaging or original. The graphic description of the murder scenes are grotesque overdone as in the Mills and Boon romantic story that runs alongside it. I only finished listening to the book the hope that the writing and story would somehow resurrect its self, it didn’t!
Unfortunately because I love a good series I purchased the second book at the same time as the first, I’m not even going to waste my time listening.

One of Tami's best books
Great book couldn't put it down. Tami is one of my favourite crime writers. Keeps you guessing which I love, I'd think I had the murderer worked out then something different happens. Loved it.
