Pretty young Corinne Wolff, seven months pregnant, brutally murdered in her own home. Cameras and questions don’t usually faze Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson, but the media frenzy surrounding the Wolff case is particularly nasty…and thorough.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

A detective story foremost
Audible do this odd thing where they release the second or third novel in a series before the first. That is the case here. It makes it harder to enjoy the novel without the detailed background of the first, even if the author has back filled a lot of the first novel. This is mostly a detective novel with a strong female lead. Its very well written and an engaging detective story. It does has a female relationship in it, but it is primary a detective story. Its kinda not for me really I don't mind gentle detective stories, this is darker with a serial killer who does pretty gruesome things. Some images I would prefer not to have and still stuck with me two weeks later. Although its not my thing I know many like this genre. Its very well written and a good story with a strong female lead, so I rate it highly, but not really they type of story I would have selected but I may read another one, if Audible decide to release the the first, but really I would prefer to avoid these darker detective stories. Ive still intentionally not seen Silence of the Lambs.

One of the better lesbian authors out there
The Rainey Bell novels are well written books, they have good plots and contain enough romance *without* falling into that trap of using sex that just seems to be a filler for a story without adding anything to a plot.
I also find RE Bradshaw one of the more professional lesbian writers out there, and that is also reflected in the quality of the editing.
The moment I saw that the second of the Rainey Bell books had been added to the audible store I instant purchased it, and I hope that the rest will follow because I would add them to my audible library without a single hesitation. In fact, I hope all RE Bradshaw books get added as I would be happy to buy them all.
The narrator was not somebody I had heard before, she's not as good at including the range of vocal inflections that some narrators have to help you recognise which character was talking, but she's not as bad as some I've heard.

Rainey Nights
Would you try another book written by R. E. Bradshaw or narrated by Shannon McManus?
The story starts of well but then becomes predictable and rather boring. It's a shame as the thriller side of the book was intriguing to begin with but then falls apart. It was overly descriptive for my taste and when I heard the word 'always' being repeated I wanted to scream. I will not be rushing to buy any more of Bradshaw's books.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narration was fine
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No

Okay; but.
Taking a lot of tired cliches and wrapping them around a lesbian character doesn't make the cliches any fresher. That being said there are moments of semi-brilliance when the author is able to bring the characters to life. Unfortunately these moments are interspersed with a predictable plot line and some dialogue worthy of network television. The overall book has it's moments and the information on the criminal aspects of the plot are good. Hopefully in the future there will be a time when her main characters actually appear three dimensional. As for the reader; the same applies to her. She has a good overall pacing and at times, the right tone. Other times she seems to think her audience is a class of fifth graders.

Great story, awesome characters!
Would you consider the audio edition of Rainey Nights to be better than the print version?
I would not consider the audio version better, just less work for my brain. I can run and have the story with me without having to really think.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love Katie, she makes me laugh.
What about Shannon McManus’s performance did you like?
I think she did an awesome job on the voice characterization. There were a couple of places where it was a little slow, but that's due to me having read the book several times and heard it differently in my head. Overall she did a great job.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really, but I have read it several times before listening to it. So I was prepared for what was coming. I did laugh at the funny parts.
Any additional comments?
I want MORE! Please get all of the Rainey Bell series, as well as all of R. E. Bradshaw's works. I will buy all of them.

A Romantic Lesbian Thriller
In this follow-up to Rainey Days, FBI special agent behavioral specialist, Rainey Bell has been called in to help solve a series of violent crimes against young women. This time, there's so much more at stake because she now has a family to protect (as well as one who's reluctnant to compromise!)
Mixed into this smart puzzle is brutal violence, yes, but also a sexy romance.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Very Disappointing!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The author should have developed the story instead of focusing so much on the love story... I THOUGHT this was a suspense thriller. Its really irritating to buy a book expecting action and its full of a bunch of boring love story crap. I buy these books to keep me away while driving, this one was a real snooze fest.
