About this listen
When Dr. Samantha Owens's homicide detective friend, Darren Fletcher, invites her to look over the evidence of a routine police investigation, she jumps at the chance and immediately realizes the crime scene has been staged. What seems to be a clear case of murder/suicide - a crime of passion - is anything but....
As Fletch and Sam try to understand what and who they are dealing with, they are summoned to a meeting at the State Department. High-level officials are interested in what they know and seem to be keeping secrets of their own. It's up to Sam and Fletch to uncover what lies behind the deception as the threat of bioterrorism is exposed, and her boyfriend, Xander Whitfield, may be in the line of fire.

George Smiley has left the Circus. With the wreckage of the West’s spy war against the Soviets strewn across Europe, he has eyes only for a more peaceful life.

A Russian agent has defected in the most unusual of circumstances, and the man he was sent to kill in London is nowhere to be found. Smiley reluctantly agrees to one last simple task: interview Szusanna, a Hungarian émigré and employee of the missing man, and sniff out a lead.

What Lies Behind (Dr. Samantha Owens Book 4)
I do say that this book have thoroughly giving such enjoy all of the Samantha Owens books, this one is my favorite to date. I loved everything about this book. As usual, it was great to read about Sam and Xander, and they were given a great storyline. The story was fast-paced and had lots of action. I really liked the way the storylines with Sam and Xander connected and came together at the end. I enjoyed the direction that things went with Sam's career, and it was great to have her working with Baldwin and the FBI, as well as with Fletcher. I also enjoyed seeing the glimpse of Taylor Jackson in this one. When Sam Owen's sleep is disturbed due to sirens and police activity in her neighborhood, it isn't long before she is involved in the investigation. What first appears to be a murder/suicide attempt where the perpetrator survived becomes more complicated when it is found that the victim is a deep undercover FBI agent who also works with the CIA. As Sam investigates with Fletcher, who is sent in as the homicide detective by Washington, D.C., a tale of possible bioterrorism begins to emerge. This was a very exciting story, and it kept me engrossed. I loved the characters, both the main and secondary ones. I really like the direction the author is taking the series so far, and I really hope we don't have to wait long for the next book. I am very anxious to see where the author goes with the dangling threads from this book.

Best Of The Series
See Wayne’s review, as he is very qualified to give his opinion and never steers you wrong. I have books 1 and two and this book has the multiple stories going on like book 2. You have to concentrate a little bit on this one as there are two female character stories being told. I have become a fan of Narrator Joyce Bean. Do not miss Sandra Brown’s witness with Miss Bean narrating, it is wonderful. Also, Tami Hoag‘s still waters. Ms Bean does an outstanding job reading it.
Were my comments of help?

Another Strong Entry in the Samantha Owens Series
This series is good because of the strong cast of characters, including Dr. Owens herself.
The series is set sometimes in Tennessee and sometimes, like this one, in Washington DC.
The men are all really macho and Sam is both beautiful and brilliant, as you would expect in this series. But the plot is good and the violence isn't particularly graphic.

Brilliant but disappointing
Absolutely brilliants story but disappointing as there is a cliff hanger with no new book in sight?
Great to have Taylor making a quick appearance as well as Baldwin.
Joyce Bean is great for this series especially having done TJ series, very intouch with the characters.
Best book yet, followed closely by Edge of Black.
Suck a pity about the ending.

Best of the 4 novels in the Samantha Owens series
Dr. Samantha Owens continues to live and work in Washington DC after moving there earlier in this series. What Lies Behind is a superb suspense thriller and having listened to all 4 books, it is the best of the series. The publisher's summary should be read before purchasing this book. With only one exception I have found all of JT Ellison's novels very worthwhile. Narration by Joyce Bean is rock solid.

Literally on the edge of my seat awaiting the next book in the series!
J.T. Ellison has crafted not one, but two series of novels with two amazingly talented, brave, smart and mega-tough women who make things happen no matter the risks! Both the Taylor Jackson series, and now the Dr. Samantha Owens novels leave me on the edge of my seat waiting for what will happen next! Don't miss out on finding out more about both of these tough, beautiful and endlessly resourceful women as they do whatever is necessary to stop the evil and bring down the "bad guys!" JT Ellison is the real deal! Keep 'me coming girl!

Intriguing!
What a Fascinating story! Every detail, every turn, so many plotlines intricately woven together. Loved the strong & smart women -- good job. Wow, just wow. So enjoyed Audible, made every car drive exciting. Highly recommend ( fyi: had no idea this was book 4 & it did not matter. I was completely up to speed) Great narrative!
