Summary

New York Detective Sidney Langston is rushed to the hospital with excruciating chest pains the same night a woman who bears a remarkable resemblance to her is murdered in San Diego. Tests reveal Sidney is perfectly healthy, yet the crippling pain persists until the dead woman reaches out from beyond the grave for Sidney’s help to vindicate her wrongfully imprisoned husband and to find her murderer. 

Desperate to remain pain-free, Sidney embarks on a mission to exonerate an innocent man. With a ruthless killer at large, she soon discovers the crime is more than a simple whodunit when dangerous scenarios unfold. The dead woman’s spirit relentlessly pushes Detective Langston to solve the crime and correct an injustice - or forever be tormented by an invisible bullet wound.

compelled to listen

Excellent narration from Jule Nelson-Duac

We start the book with a murder. Mara, waiting for the return of her husband, Aden, and is shot dead by one of his co-worker. We then meet Sidney, a police detective. It seems Sidney is experiencing a heart attack. Then we meet Bernice, a medium, whose nights are tormented by visions of a woman screaming in her head.
Sidney finds herself compelled to find the murderer and free Aden.
Brilliant detective work and undercover work. I loved the undercover scenes involving Sidney, especially the bar one with Sam.
This book will compel you to listen. Excellent characters and plot.

Highly recommend

The most exciting book I have read for a while

This book keeps you engaged from page 1 to the end. There are so many twist and turns you don’t know what is going to happen next, the culprit could be any number of people.

Murder Mystery with a ghost behind it all

Sidney is now a police officer on Long Island in NY. She used to be a CIA operative so she has some skills that a regular police officer might not have. A psychic contacts her about a ghost who has been unrelenting in trying to reach Sidney through the psychic. Sidney rejects the contacts until she is provided with some facts that cause her to relent.

Sidney is home on sick leave with unrelenting heart problems that the medical experts can't explain. When she agrees to look into the case, she feels much better. She flies out to San Diego to investigate a case of a man accused of killing his wife. The police are certain that they found their man so they didn't do a complete investigation.

Sidney brings on some help in San Diego and uncovers a complex plot. She develops multiple leads and a few potential suspects. All the while, she feels the presence of the ghost urging her on and making her have strange reactions about some people in the story.

I enjoyed the book and I liked the complexity of the investigation.

I listened to the audio version, which was excellent.

The author provided me with a copy of the audio book. This is my honest review.

This book will keep you guessing until the end

Compelled is a classic who did it book, with a paranormal twist. It’s an exciting book that will have you at the edge of you seat and keep you guessing right to the last moment. The characters and plot line are great and the narrator knows how to spin the tale, so it gets even better. I can warmly recommend it for fans of mysteries and crime novels.

Kept Me Guessing

I found 'Compelled' by Inge-Lise Goss to be very interesting. I found it started out a little slow but ended up moving right along. The subject matter was very interesting and it kept me intrigued as to how the story would finally end. And, the ending was even more interesting. The narrator did a wonderful job. All in all I would recommend this book.

Absorbing Supernatural Story

I enjoyed this story a lot. The story was about a detective who suffered terrible chest pains at the same time that a woman who lived in another state was murdered. The detective becomes involved in the woman's murder investigation. Once I started the audiobook, I had to listen until the end as I became embroiled into the story. Jule Nelson-Duac's narration was good, and her performance added to the story's entertainment. I enjoyed this story a lot. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Supernaturally Driven Police Investigation

Sidney Langston is a New York Detective who is experiencing some supernatural incidents that drive her to solve a murder mystery for her own piece of mind and to remain pain free from a “sympathy” bullet wound. Set to discover the true murderer, Sidney hopes to help the dead rest and free an innocent man.

Compelled is a great listen. Compelled is written in such a way that you get all of the details and still stay engaged. The author does a great job making Sydney a down to earth character that still is the hero. There are twists and turns throughout the story and when you think you have it figured out, we get even more details. The ending of Compelled left me satisfied with the story.

Jule Nelson-Duac provided the narration and did so wonderfully. She gave each character a different voice and was easy to listen to. Her cadence was measured and added to the storytelling.

There were no issues with the production or quality of the audio.
