Amid an unfamiliar landscape of D.C. politics, Atlanta Homicide Detective Darren Fox must seek out a killer who leaves no trace, discover secrets long buried, and come face to face with one of America's darkest secrets and most dangerous truths...

Liked the book a lot. Yes, I noticed the speed-reading. My only complaint is one I saw touched on in one or two other comments - you spend over half the book on setup for the concept that is what makes the book special. I mean, the stuff before the echoes is well-written and fairly interesting, but the echoes are the spark of the book. It seems to me that to fix that, you would need to do two things - more foreshadowing in the first half and then lengthen the second half substantially (so it would become more than half the book). I would certainly listen to the sequel.By: Zack
I liked Echoes a lot. I thought that the characters could have used a little more developmental work, but other than that, the story was great. I love the concept of using ghosts...echoes if you prefer...as assassins. Looking forward to the sequel.By: pbmaxca
I liked the concept of the story, but I felt like the end was rushed a bit. There was all this set up about the murder, but then when it actually came time to talk about the echoes I felt like it was rushed through and the ending was forced.
