***** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW ***** 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.

This is a fantastic series which I've enjoyed so much and I can hardly believe that this is book nine - and yet, I feel as if I know Kay Hunter and her team so well! When the body of a man is discovered on farmland purely by chance it causes fear throughout the local rural community; Kay and her team need to get to grips with this one - and quickly. This is no ordinary murder and when it transpires than someone is around offering cash for information, it becomes more urgent to get on top of it all. With every officer and the associated agencies working flat out, can further deaths be avoided? Rachel Amphlett has been a favourite author for quite some time and I just couldn't pass up the chance of joining the blog tour for her latest Kay Hunter novel, despite the fact that I'm on my annual break. Some authors are just too good to miss! I feel as if Kay is a friend now and the details of her life with husband Adam provide some much needed light relief in amongst the gory details of her investigations. As always, the answer to solving the case is many hours of plodding through the evidence and leaving no stone unturned and it's Kay's job to look after the morale of her team whilst driving things forward. This is, once again, a stimulating and spellbinding read which kept me on my toes from beginning to end in a series which goes from strength to strength while the author keeps it fresh and lively. Absolutely a five star read and a hearty recommendation from me.
