This audiobook has the kinds of twists and turns that immediately grab listeners, and hold their attention until the story ends. Aided by an effective performance by narrator Jeff Steitzer, this is not a typical mystery. The story is set in a small Maine town, where memories and personalities intersect at almost every turn. As Rosenfelt combines plots twists with some unusual plot elements, such as a time capsule that predicts the future, Steitzer effectively uses an array of voices and tones to create distinct character personalities. His performance is notable for his deft portrayal of Katie Sanford, editor of the local paper. The result is a complex and engaging mystery. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

At the start of this riveting standalone from Edgar-finalist Rosenfelt (Airtight), a hurricane destroys a Wilton, Maine, dam. When newspaper publisher Katie Sanford and her staff unearth the time capsule they buried nearly five years earlier to check for water damage, they discover skeletal remains and a set of predictions about future crimes, including the murder of the wife of police chief Jake Robbins. Months after the capsule’s burial, Katie’s husband allegedly killed Jake’s wife, with whom he’d had an affair. Other predictions correlate to an unsolved arson case and a string of murders. When Jake realizes he’s the common denominator among the crimes, he races to piece together the cryptic clues, identify potential victims, and delve into his own past to discover who wants to frame him and why. His feelings for Katie—the high school sweetheart with whom he’s starting to rekindle romance, but who represents the potentially antagonistic press—add complexity and nuance. Only some minor chronological discrepancies mar this suspenseful page-turner. Agent: Robin Rue, Writers House.
