Listen to The Drop, the final audiobook in the Subtle Deceptions series
Curiosity might just kill Gabriel Karne after all.
It’s only Monday morning and Gabriel Karne is already knee-deep in murder.
Roy Wilson, a Westfort pastor with a murky past, turns up dead. Was the man a bad guy turned good? Or was he, as Gabe and Elton suspect, still deeply embroiled in the illegal underbelly of Twana County?
Meanwhile, the unsolved murder of Calvin Perkins continues to nag at Casey Lundin. The unlikable man's killer remains at large, and the acting sheriff has no suspects or even a clue to move on. Casey vows to do his best to bring Calvin some sort of justice. Not even Calvin Perkins deserves to be executed and dumped into an unmarked grave.
As it turns out it may be curiosity that kills Casey, and Gabriel can’t rush to his rescue.
It will be fine, everything will be fine.
The Drop is book 4 in the Subtle Deceptions series. It is the final installment in grifter Gabriel Karne's pursuit of nearly legal happiness among the denizens of Heartstone and features: small-town mystery, amateur sleuthing, true love, found family, and a great deal of snark.

Update for audio review
I loved the book but the narration just really sets this story and series off.
I love the voices, the pacing and emotion. I felt the audio just really picks up on the sarcastic humor and the romance and emotions between Gabe and Casey.
I've loved this series and hate to see it end. Hopefully, we havent saw the last of these guys though.
I love the banter and opposite attract aspect of this story. Casey bless him tried to not fall for Gabriel's charm but he did and now they are committed, have a house, a dog and cat, and lots of friends that are family.
Still though dead bodies seem as attracted to Gabe as Casey is and they get wrapped up in yet another mystery that ties up the lose ends to the previous ones. I do encourage you to start at the beginning however its written well enough you maybe able to follow along but with questions of what they are talking about.
I highly recommend this and can't wait for the audio to come out.
If you like grifters, park rangers, meddling old men, odd relatives, small-town mystery, amateur sleuthing, true love, found family, and a great deal of snark, this is for you.
Love this series. The characters are solid. The interactions are intelligent, fun, interesting, compelling, and unexpectedly funny/quirky. Love the heck out of this series. Cannot recommend it more.
There was supposed to be no more, disappearing, getting injured or dead bodies for Gabe and Casey, throw in kidnapping and not quite dead bodies and that’s exactly what you get in The Drop, Book 4, of the Subtle Deceptions series. I’m going to miss the wonderful inhabitants of Heartstone Island. A big shout out to Mr Christian Leatherman whose narration bought everything to life.
During the course of my life, I’ve often said variations of “I hate Mondays”… but fortunately none of my Mondays and subsequent weeks were as bad as Gabe’s one is. And Casey’s one is not that far behind.
Every day brings new fuckery - as Gabe would say- and the story never has a single quiet moment.
Murders, attempted ones, kidnappings, past secrets being unveiled… every page is full of action, but always with a healthy dose of romance and found family as a backdrop.
I fell in love with this series almost immediately. Edge of your seat twists and turns, and the slow burn coming together of the MCs was brilliant. The Audiobooks are some of the best in this genre. I hope Elle revisits these guys in the future. I'd love more books in the series!
