Summary

In a riveting debut thriller that has drawn comparisons to masters of the genre like Dennis Lehane and Michael Connelly, Brian Freeman weaves obsession, sex, and revenge into a story that grips the reader with vivid characters and shocking plot twists from the first minute to the last.

Lieutenant Jonathan Stride is suffering from an ugly case of deja vu. For the second time in a year, a beautiful teenage girl has disappeared off the streets of Duluth, Minnesota, gone without a trace, like a bitter gust off Lake Superior. The two victims couldn't be more different. First it was Kerry McGrath, bubbly, sweet 16. And now Rachel Deese, strange, sexually charged, a wild child. The media hounds Stride to catch a serial killer, and as the search carries him from the icy stillness of the northern woods to the erotic heat of Las Vegas, he must decide which facts are real and which are illusions. And Stride finds his own life changed forever by the secrets he uncovers. Secrets that stretch across time in a web of lies, death, and illicit desire. Secrets that are chillingly immoral.

Critic reviews

"Who is Brian Freeman? This guy can tell a story. Immoral is a page-turner of the highest caliber. It has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end." (Michael Connelly)

A Promising Debut

An enjoyable debut novel with enough twists to keep the pace going nicely. Can't say too much without giving away the plot, but I'm not sure it's completely credible at the end. However, it zips along and, as it says in the blurb, if you like Michael Conelly, you'll probably not be disappointed if you download this one.

A simply wonderful listen

This was a real 'find' in Audible and if Brian Freeman can keep up this standard of thriller, Michael Connelly certainly has a rival as my favourite. I should also like to say I enjoyed the reader whom I had not heard before; some can really spoil a very good story but this reader was spot on.

Thank goodness this was a freebi

Absolute rubbish. I made it to chapter 2 and that was it! Awful narration, storyline and I don’t know what else to say..

Another one ruined by the narration

Really strange narrator who makes all characters sound dumb and all women and children all sound like Marge Simpson or too breathy. Cringy stuff

sex scene on the porch

This book started well but in chapter ten there is the most clumsily written sex scene I have ever read! at one point , I actually said "Yuk" What was this writer thinking? Surely he could see it just wasn't erotic?

Enjoyable crime novel!

This book was my first Brain Freeman listen and I will be looking for more. The plot was interesting and some of the turns were quite unexpected. It moved along at a pace which kept me listening and engaged with the characters. The narration was unobtrusive and suitable for this book. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good crime novel.

Unabridged!

It didn't feel unabridged, or am I unaware of what it means? Some of the 'gaps' made me feel like I had slept and missed lots of good bits.
Probably me but I think I needed the clues/investigation/procedural explanations especially when it was chapter 5 in the chapter lineup but suddenly chapter 20 in the narrative. Sorry but I was definitely put off by this
