Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
When Detective Nick Fourcade enters the home of Genevieve Gauthier outside the sleepy town of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, the bloody crime scene that awaits him is both the most brutal and the most confusing he's ever seen. Genevieve's seven-year-old son, P.J., has been murdered by an alleged intruder, yet Genevieve is alive and well, a witness inexplicably left behind to tell the tale. There is no evidence of forced entry, not a clue that points to a motive. Meanwhile, Nick's wife, Detective Annie Broussard, sits in the emergency room with the grieving Genevieve. A mother herself, Annie understands the emotional devastation this woman is going through.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
In the rural parishes of Louisiana's French Triangle, young women are disappearing one by one, only to turn up on the banks of the bayou, strangled and cast aside where they are sure to be found. But there is one trophy the killer prizes above all others, one woman who must be silenced forever.... Attorney Laurel Chandler did not come back to Bayou Breaux to seek justice. That once-burning obsession had destroyed her credibility, her career, her marriage - and nearly her sanity. But when a ruthless predator strikes too close to home, she's lured into a perverse game from which there may be no escape.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2
On a frigid New Year’s Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether she was alive or dead when she hit the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless female victim of the year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out who Zombie Doe is but who in her life hated her enough to destroy her. Was it personal? Or could it just have been a crime of opportunity?

It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, nonstop, to the top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds, and then plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high-rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world - and the nation’s capital of media, finance and entertainment - is plunged into chaos.

I've read a few of Tami Hoag's books and so far none have disappointed me, Guilty as sin here I come!! Would recommend to those who like a good thriller with a bit of "romance" thrown in.

A Third Too Long
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Tami Hoag always produces a book worth reading as they are invariably well written
Would you recommend Night Sins to your friends? Why or why not?
As far as the crime element of this book it is excellent but, in my opinion, is let down by the detraction of the love interest/sex scenes between the two central characters. This is all rather cliche.
Was Night Sins worth the listening time?
As a whole the book is worth a listen but if you like your crime books to contain only crime/detection then this may not be for you.
Any additional comments?
The eighteen hours could have been edited down to around twelve and still made an excellent book.

Stick to the storyline
The mystery story was okay but all of the underlying sexual tension and predictable love story ruined the overall book. I wish audible would use a new category "mystery suspense/romance" I'm tired of getting books that have more cheesy romance than supposed theme.

Too much irrelevant filler
Would you try another book from Tami Hoag and/or Jennifer Van Dyck?
I love mysteries/thrillers. When most of the book is spent describing the personal relationship in/out of bed of the two primary characters...I figure there isn't enough story to fill a book. So why do I read it? Well I fast forwarded through much of the relationship stuff--to get to the mystery. The other was not relevant to the story. I'm not sure I'll try another Tami Hoag book. Just too much other stuff used to fill spaces.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Love Harry Bosch--although I've almost finished the latest and last. Oh, no!
How could the performance have been better?
?
What character would you cut from Night Sins?
?
Any additional comments?
Disappointing write and finish. Don't really care what comes next. Not a good sign that I will read more from same author.

MAD MAD MAD
What would have made Night Sins better?
Less sex. How many ways does the sex need to be written? Thought I was reading J B Robb. Which I stopped listening to after the 4rth book because of contious sex between main characters. I am not a prude but I think it is laziness on the author part when sex is used as a filler
Would you ever listen to anything by Tami Hoag again?
Yes I have already listened to 6 other books and have enjoyed them, exception Guilty as Sin.
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Van Dyck’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes Guilty as Sin which I think she was either sick or being threaten to read
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Mad Mad Mad, yes I probably should have read the reviews, and would have found out that this book was two parts. REALLY SHOULD BE PUT IN THE DESCRIPTION. If it would have I would not have wasted a credit on it.
Any additional comments?
I think these two book were written to meet her publisher quota. All the other books I have listened to I enjoyed, that why I downloaded these two...Dumb Dumb Guilty as Sin, Night Sins I should have had a clue ARRGH

ugh, the clichés.
There was a child abduction subplot in there somewhere, but fortunately, it didn't get in the way of the tormented romance between the tough-but-vulnerable federal agent and the tough-but-vulnerable small-town cop, both of whose eyes, we are reminded many, many times, "had seen too much."

Tedious!
I've listened to several Hoag books and this was the first to really disappoint. Her heroine, O'Malley is the first female cop to be promoted to her new job. Sure, I get the need to prove she is qualified, and sure, I understand having to stand up to the old boys network who think she can't hack it, but....come on! This type of banter fills nearly every paragraph and is so tedious! Enough already! We got the point!
Then, spoiler alert: she hops into a sexual relationship with the widowed sheriff (several times) during the investigation of a missing child -- all the while spewing that it is against her code to get in a relationship with a cop. Tedious and unbelievable. If we are to buy her as the tough, gritty, uber-qualified cop that she is made out to be, coupled with the strong desire to prove a woman can make it in this man's world, she never would have slept with him.
A real,disappointment. Skip it. There are much better Hoag books out there.

A great listen!
Any additional comments?
I held off getting this book because of some of the review, and I can agree that the sex in this book does feel misplaced. I'm not a prude about hearing sex, but this definitely took some of the shine off the story, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
I really like Tami Hoag's writing and her ability to write a suspense thriller is getting better with every book of hers i read/listen too. It's an easy listen, and definitely has that, "i'll drive the long way home" because you wanna hear what happens next!

Another Great book from Tami Hoag
If you could sum up Night Sins in three words, what would they be?
Interesting
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It would have but I listened to the 2 books backwards - I listened to Guilty as Sin first - didn't know there was a first part to it as the books should be a series.
What about Jennifer VanDyck’s performance did you like?
I always like listening to her
Any additional comments?
Very good book but there is a second one - Guilty as Sin - listen to this one first...

This is just a romance novel.
What did you like best about Night Sins? What did you like least?
This is basically a romance novel. The main characters behave unprofessionally, have all these deep secrets and personal pain that interferes with their ability to do their job but only drop hints about it and won't discuss it. It's annoying and trite and seems like the author is trying to manipulate the reader. I don't have patience for all that. I prefer to focus on the main crime story and drop all the personal drama and romance! I don't remember Tami Hoag books being like this, but maybe it's because I've listened to so many other really good books by great authors in recent years! Doesn't compare to Jo Nesbo, Camilla Lackberg, Ann Cleeves, Jorn Lier Horst, Lee Child, Michael Connlley, Elizabeth George or Tana French.
Has Night Sins turned you off from other books in this genre?
Definitely turned me off from Tami Hoag! I have two others in my library that I haven't downloaded yet, but am going to return.
