Publisher's summary

Searching for a fresh start and a serene place to heal from both mental and physical wounds, Agent Spenser Song found herself answering the job posting for the quaint town of Sweetwater Falls.

After a series of tragedies turned her world upside down, FBI Agent Spenser Song felt like a woman adrift in a sea of chaos. Her brush with death and the tragic murder of her husband left her questioning everything in her life. And when it became clear that Bureau politics will trump justice, Spenser realized she needed a fresh start.

Looking for a slower pace and needing to heal, Spenser is hired on to be the sheriff in the idyllic town of Sweetwater Falls. The town is everything her best friend said it would be, and all in the Falls was seemingly perfect.

With the exception of her cantankerous landlord, Ryker Makawi, a former Navy SEAL with issues and a past of his own.

When a local woman is murdered, the case proves to be far from simple, and Spenser finds herself forced to work with the ill-tempered Ryker.

With her past trying to reach into the present to pull Spenser into a cold dark grave, Spenser soon realized that the chaos she fled from had found its way back into her life.

Spenser Song came west to find peace. But the new girl in the Falls soon finds herself in the fight of her life.

The Narrator With Only One Voice

The narrator knew how to narrate the women but there was little to no difference between the women’s voice and men’s. The story was ok but she’s just not Blake Wilder. I’ll listen to the next one to see if it gets better. But the narrator? I don’t know.

Small town sheriff kicks ass

I enjoyed the story with the dog and a strong kick ass woman trying to fight to the surface of her past to a new life.

Never disappoints

I’m all caught up on the Blake Wilder series (of what I can get on audible). Now I have a wonderful series to fill my need.

Cliffhanger alert

The story certainly moved quickly and held your attention. The idea of the protagonist facing the future with a song in her heart yet no complete answers and the certainty that other assassins would come for her was exhausting. No more of this series for me.

Action packed!

FBI agent, Spenser Song, and her husband are attacked in NYC…her husband is killed and she almost dies. When she disagrees with the FBI on handling her corrupt partner, Spenser decides she needs a reset and moves across the country to Sweetwater Falls. New Sheriff Song is trying to ease into her new position when a woman is brutally murdered. Is this murder simple to the long ago murder of her landlord’s fiancee’ or is it related to her old job? Good start to the series.

Consider first

If you are a fan of Melinda Leigh or her equal, this is not for you. The storyline is good, but there are too many discrepancies. You can't be a former FBI and now sheriff and run away crying.
