Not One of Us

Written by Debbie Herbert

Narrated by Shannon McManus, Amanda Ronconi, Patrick Lawlor and Michael Crouch

From the bestselling author of Cold Waters comes a brooding thriller about a woman who must decide if safeguarding her family is worth burying a truth that will haunt her forever.

Thirteen years ago, Jori Trahan’s boyfriend vanished without a trace. Now, after moving back home to Alabama to care for her ailing grandmother and autistic brother, she comes face-to-face with the deadly mystery behind his disappearance.

Jori has a rare form of synesthesia, meaning she can “hear” colors; to her, tones of voice are as unique as fingerprints. With the help of this ability and a sympathetic cop, Jori comes dangerously close to uncovering the truth. But those responsible will go to any length—including murder—to keep their dark secrets buried.

Soon, it seems that no one in the sleepy bayou town is safe, and after Jori’s brother is kidnapped, she knows she must drop the investigation or risk losing her family. But when protecting them means letting an evil deed go unpunished, putting family first may be the last thing she’ll ever do.

Reviews for Not One of Us

[mckait · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

So bad. I chose it because I am fascinated by synesthesia, and it was mentioned that the main character was a synesthete. And it was mentioned briefly in the first few pages, and never again until about 97% of the way through when she used it. In between was an awful book that I read purely out of inertia. Jori, the main character, was obnoxious, a troublemaker and not very smart. She was meddlesome and bordered on mean, The story was uneven and plodding. So, needless to say, I do not recommend this one.
