Publisher's Summary

The Dying Hour introduces Jason Wade, a rookie crime reporter with the Seattle Mirror, a loner who grew up in the shadow of a brewery in one of the city's blue-collar neighborhoods. At the Seattle Mirror, he is competing for the single full-time job being offered through the paper's intense intern program. But unlike the program's other young reporters, who attended big name schools and worked at other big metro dailies, Wade put himself through community college, and lacks the same experience.

Wade struggles with his haunting past as he pursues the story of Karen Harding, a college student whose car was found abandoned on a lonely stretch of highway in the Pacific Northwest. How could this beloved young woman with the altruistic nature simply vanish? Wade battles mounting odds and cut-throat competition to unearth the truth behind Karen Harding's disturbing case. Her disappearance is a story he cannot give up, never realizing the toll it could exact from him. The Dying Hour is a bone-chilling, mesmerizing tale that introduces listeners to an all-too-human young hero who journeys into the darkest regions of the human heart to confront a nightmare.

" The Dying Hour starts scary and ends scary. You'll be craving Mofina's next novel." (Sandra Brown, New York Times best-selling author)

Decent Storyline

A decent storyline and narration was good apart from the way the narrator tends to whistle his S’s, which once you hear, you can’t unhear!

🤦🏻‍♀️

,
This was so cliche it was pretty much unbearable. I listened to the end (vaguely) to be sure I didn’t miss a hidden message/thread/meaning. Unfortunately no.

Meanders to an inevitable finale

This could have been a short story. Way too much back and forth with unnecessary detail at the expense of actual plot! The premise is a good one but poorly executed.
