About this listen

 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)

It was a pretty good story. Too much sex and it doesn't portray men in a good light. Apart from that it was OK.

Enjoyable read

The story itself had lots of twists and turns. There was an interesting denouement which added to the pleasure. It was probably a little bit too long and could’ve done with some editing, but that has nothing to do with the performance of the reader, simply the author and his editor.

A twisty page turner

A bit formulaic in places but a good romp and a twist in the end . Enjoyable listening

Good

A compelling thriller with an interesting host of characters. Some surprising twists and a lead detective who’s personal life choices are a bit pathetic. For such a great investigator he doesn’t have enormous insight into his own life. Maybe I’m just tired of those tropes but thy said I ate the story up.

Page turner

The number and quality of unexpected twists at the end is really impressive. Only down side is feeling a little uncomfortable at times with multiple characters (male and female) victim blaming a girl just because she's really attractive. Definitely shows it's age. I've read this book before but don't think I'll read it again, or others from this series.
