Conspiracy by Colleen Coble Audiobook Review

About the Book:

Just as wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden begins to envision a future with Blake Lawson, the ghosts of her past return with a vengeance. The murder of her parents has shadowed her for fifteen years, but a new threat brings the cold case into the terrifying present. A trained leopard--a chilling embodiment of Paradise's deepest fears--is now stalking her.

Haunted by resurfacing memories, Paradise, Blake, and her newfound brother, Drew, follow a trail of clues that leads them into a web of dark family secrets. The deeper they dig, the more shocking the connections become, linking their families to a dangerous conspiracy that someone is still willing to kill to protect.

With every step closer to the truth, the killer becomes more desperate. Paradise, Blake, and Drew must race to expose a murderer who has remained hidden for fifteen years, but this time, they are the ones being stalked. If they can't unmask the killer, the past will destroy both the fragile future Paradise and Blake are trying to build and the family she has finally found with her brother.

A conspiracy of lemurs is a family. But a conspiracy of people can be deadly.

My Review:

This novel finishes the Sanctuary series, featuring a private wild animal park in Alabama. It wraps up all the mysteries and secrets in the previous books and has a good amount of suspense. Much of the drama revolves around Paradise attempting to solve the murder of her parents some time ago. Secrets are uncovered and danger results. The importance of family is a prominent theme in this novel.

It was a pleasure listening to this novel. Peakes did a wonderful job of conveying the southern aspect of the characters. Her voices of the kids were the best.

Coble has worked the stories of three series, the Pelican Harbor and Tupelo Grove series and now culminating in the Sanctuary series. Readers who have enjoyed getting to know Hez, Savannah, Simon and others will enjoy this novel too.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
