When the body of a naked man is found in the middle of a barren field, a rural community is left in shock - and fear.

Discovering that someone is offering money in return for information about the dead man and anyone connected to him, Detective Kay Hunter realises there is a dark side to the victim’s past.

When a key witness disappears and a web of deceit and lies threatens to derail the investigation, she fears the worst.

Can Kay and her team of detectives find out who is behind the man’s murder before another victim is targeted?

I'm pretty tickled anytime I find out there's a new book in the Detective Kay Hunter's series. Turn to Dust is book 9 in the series. Rachel Amphlett takes Detective Hunter and her crew on another chase of another psychopath that left dead or scared people in their wake. I think one of my favorite things about these books is going through the case step-by-step with Hunter and her team. Most police procedurals have some hidden clues but this series is different. I end up immersed, like I'm researching it right with them!  

Then, factoring in that there's some time in between each audiobook and I always fall back into place pretty easily. I find that to be incredibly important, that each book can stand alone enough while they are also connected enough that I feel like it's a continuation from the others. 

 

I continue to enjoy Alison Campbell's narration. I feel like she easily delivers different voices and styles to all the various characters. I really appreciate that Miss Campbell has narrated all 9 of the Detective Kay Hunter audiobooks. I feel like she's able to play a very good Detective. She's really able to get into the part while still sounding like a strong woman. I can only imagine it's a balance act that she definitely executes.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Rachel Amphlett. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
