Book description
Moving Target - A Thrilling Audiobook Journey Across Continents
From the moment the narrator's voice opens "Moving Target," you're pulled into J.A. Jance's razor-sharp world of crime and intrigue. The audiobook delivers every pulse-pounding scene with a clarity that makes it feel as if the action is happening right beside you. Jance, already celebrated for her "take-no-prisoners" style (Kirkus), keeps the momentum relentless, weaving together two continents, a cold case, and a deadly arsonist into one cohesive narrative.
The story follows Ali Reynolds, a seasoned journalist turned investigator, who stumbles upon a decades-old murder that leads her to England. While she's there helping Leland Brooks reconcile with his estranged family, the danger lingers back home: Lance Tucker-an incarcerated juvenile hacker-is set ablaze in a lockup recreation room, and B. Simpson, Ali's fiancΓ©, feels compelled to dig deeper. With Ali occupied overseas, B. turns to Sister Anselm, a Taser-armed nun with a fierce sense of justice, for help.
The interplay between these three characters is where the audiobook truly shines. Each voice-whether it's the calm determination of Ali, the weary resolve of B., or the spirited energy of Sister Anselm-adds depth to the story and keeps listeners engaged. The sound design subtly shifts as the plot moves from bustling London streets to quiet Bournemouth alleys, reinforcing the trans-Atlantic tension that Jance masterfully constructs.
Jance's pacing is impeccable; scenes are cut with surgical precision, never lingering too long on exposition. Even in moments of high suspense-like Lance's fiery escape or the chilling discovery of Leland's father's murder-the narrative stays tight and focused. The mystery layers unfold naturally, revealing that the killer's motives run deeper than a simple revenge plot.
What makes "Moving Target" stand out is its blend of procedural detail and emotional resonance. Jance does not merely deliver thrills; she also explores themes of justice, redemption, and the bonds that hold us together even when circumstances pull us apart. The audiobook captures this nuance beautifully, making each character's motivations feel authentic and relatable.
In short, "Moving Target" is an exhilarating listen for anyone who loves fast-paced thrillers with strong female leads and a hint of international intrigue. J.A. Jance proves once again that she can craft a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat while also tugging at your heartstrings-all in one gripping audiobook experience.
