THE BIG EMPTY (Elvis Cole/Joe Pike #20) (audiobook) by Robert Crais


Published by Brilliance Audio in 2025.
Read by Luke Daniels.
Duration: 8 hours, 25 minutes.
Unabridged.

My synopsis:

Elvis Cole is back on the case in The Big Empty. This time around he is working for a social media personality that specializes in making muffins and making people who watch the videos feel included, like they are talking to the girl next door. 

This social media star wants to hire Cole to figure out why her dad went missing about 10 years before. She hired an quality Private Investigations firm earlier, but the results were inconclusive. Her handlers are not enthused about reopening old wounds, but she overrules them.

Cole heads out to the small town (by L.A. standards) where her father disappeared and finds lots of stuff - including people who are determined to keep the secrets of the past buried in the past...

My review:

This was a complicated mystery with an ending that leaves a lot of moral questions about what is best for just a few people vs. what is best for everyone. Also, there is a heckuva plot twist in this one.

Well done. I rate this audiobook 5 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: The Big Empty by Robert Crais.
