Publisher's summary

My entire life vanished the day I found my parents brutally murdered.

It broke me, and everything around me came undone. I went from being a popular best-selling author to an unknown ghostwriter hiding behind my words. Nobody knows who I am now, and I want to keep it that way.

An assignment has me pairing up with the new - and very sexy - detective on a high-profile murder case. As we dive in deeper, things spiral out of control, and the body count starts piling up. Blake and I dissect every clue, but we struggle to predict the killer’s next move. He’s always one step ahead of us in this twisted game of cat and mouse. But as the case evolves, so does my relationship with Blake, and now, I’m face-to-face with a past I’m desperate to forget.

As we start to piece the puzzle together, everything becomes clear. It’s only a matter of time before the killer claims his next victim.

And if he does...we lose everything.

Another amazing book by J.L. Drake~ A must read !!

This book kept you guessing and wanting more from beginning to end. It was beautifully written. Lynn, Jeremy and Ryan all did an amazing job narrating. I love a mystery/romance book and this one is one I wanted to listen too non-stop. I haven't felt that way about a book in a long time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️THRILLING⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Starts out a bit slow but, holy shite......fasten your seatbelt !!! It takes off and does not stop until the very last sentence!!!!!!
Very captivating, the characters are all well developed , the writing is more exciting than a mega roller coaster ride with no brakes!!!
The narrators are equally great and definitely bring the story to hair raising life!!!
Thank you Ms Drake for another fantastic tale👏👏👏👏👏BRAVO👏👏👏👏👏

🌻Awesome, except the ending 🌻

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻V from Kansas🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I really enjoyed the book, overall. I honestly admit that I did not figure out who the true villain was, until the author revealed it. There were several misdirected hints, throughout the story andI thought I’d tear my hair out! However, the end was a bit disappointing. It was abrupt and the good guys truly didn’t get the win.

The narration was great, especially Ryan West. He has been a favorite since I first heard him in , “Immortals of New Orleans.”

Even though the ending was a bit of a disappointment, this is still a credit worthy listen.

Glad I took the chance! Great who dunnit.
Don't listen to all the bad reviews. It was interesting, fast paced, full of twists & turns. I'm looking for more from this author.

I really thought I knew the twist. but I was mind blown. what a great thriller with an added romance.

I loved the wide range of characters and it was really realistic. I didn't have to roll my eyes.

Shocking

The end is quite a twist…did not see that coming! You think the author is telling you through the story who but it’s just a hint of who is responsible!
