Publisher's summary

What lies in the past should not be uncovered.

When Abbie Adams, a historian-turned-journalist, is hired to investigate a cold-case murder from 1969, she jumps at the chance. But soon after she begins researching the case, she realizes that Frank Wexler, the faculty advisor who tanked her thesis and a member of a powerful family in town, is connected to the crime and is definitely not talking.

As Abbie tracks down the remaining living witnesses, she slowly pieces together the events of that fateful night, and yet is not a single step closer to solving the case. Were the police back then told to stand down? To cover up the crime?

When her witnesses suddenly wind up dead, it becomes clear that Abbie has stumbled upon a sensitive truth that threatens to tear the fabric of the Southern town apart. The killer could still be out there, and now he could be hunting her.

Amazing debut!

Like a Dateline made into a novel, The Dead Won’t tell is a great mix of history and mystery set in the South. I appreciated the pace and how it kept you guessing. John Grisham fans will enjoy this one very much.

Christine Lakin's and Will Collyer's performances were great and fit the book perfectly.

Please write more!!! Soon!!!

I only write reviews for 1s and 5s. This is the best book I have listened to in a long time. It was a great story, well written and perfect narration by Christine Lakin and Will Collyer. I will be keeping my eye out for more by all three. FYI - there was not any foul language or trashy parts. Just straight enjoyment.
