About this listen
Could a nightmare be used as a murder weapon? That's the provocative question confronting Gurney in the thrilling new installment in this series of international bestsellers. The former NYPD star homicide detective is called upon to solve a baffling puzzle: Four people who live in different parts of the country and who seem to have little in common, report having had the same dream - a terrifying nightmare involving a bloody dagger with a carved wolf's head on the handle. All four are subsequently found with their wrists cut - apparent suicides - and the weapon used in each case was a wolf's head dagger.
Police zero in quickly on Richard Hammond, a controversial psychologist who conducts hypnotherapy sessions at a spooky old Adirondack inn called Wolf Lake Lodge. It seems that each of the victims had gone there to meet with Hammond shortly before turning up dead.
Troubled by odd holes in the official approach to the case, Gurney begins his own investigation - an action that puts him in the crosshairs of not only an icy murderer and the local police but the darkest corner of the federal government. As ruthless as the blizzard trapping him in the sinister eeriness of Wolf Lake, Gurney's enemies set out to keep him from the truth at any cost - including an all-out assault on the sanity of his beloved wife Madeleine.
With his emotional resources strained to the breaking point, Gurney must throw himself into a deadly battle of wits with the most frightening opponent he has ever faced.
Wolf Lake is the new work by a writer hailed by the New York Times as "masterly" - and it furthers the adventures of Dave Gurney, a detective reviewers have compared to Sherlock Holmes.

I intend to purchase White River Burning maybe i will be used to the new voice by its ending.
Perplexed!

The narration was adequate but not as good as Jeff Harding. I really dislike it when publishers change the narrator part way through a series. It is very rarely for the better or even comparable. I missed the humour that Jeff Harding imparts and Harding's fluidity of delivery which brings to life Verdon's writing style. Lane would probably be fine for a less demanding writing style. But his delivery didn't come across as effortless, so that I was aware of the narration rather than being immersed in the storytelling.
Not as good as previous books

I would have give 5 stars for narration but I prefer Jeff Harding who performed all the others
This wolf howls with excellence
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
But, we get a new narrator now rather than the excellent Jeff Harding and it’s destroyed the characters. I’m only 15 mins in but just NOT enjoying it!
I may even delete the book.
