A mafia kingpin, billionaire tycoon, cheated wife, and jaded lover are only a few on a long list of suspects, all with motive and opportunity.

Sharon Huff did a great job narrating.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

wasn't surprised by the BBEG but still enjoyed

There are couple mysteries happening at the same time. I saw the foreshadowing of the 2 major players so I wasn't shocked. However the storytelling was engaging and captivated my interest. Narrator was a perfect voice for the mc.

Girl Power

If you enjoy a strong and smart female lead then this the book for you. A great blend of emotion and strength, Charlene is a great character to follow as her story continues to be written by Luke Murphy.
