Beyond the Blue Audiobook

Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei's morgue.

More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she's perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered.

As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.

"Morgan is an absolutely delightful golden retriever, while Mei is wonderfully coded with subtle autism spectrum characteristics. The first half of the book, with the slow courting and exploration of the initial relationship, is just wonderfully sweet.Without detailed spoilers, let's just say that the second half of this book is quite tonally distinct from the first. We get a closer look at Morgan's relentless positivity, Mei's cozy comfort, and the apparent ease of their relationship.The third act is the weakest part of the book, IMO. But it's still pretty decent, and worth the listen.This is the only book I've listened to narrated by Cindy Kay, but I thought her performance was solid. I might be used to a little broader range of character voice diversity, but it was always crisp and clear."
