About this listen

Dr. Annabelle Schwartzman has finally found a place to belong. As the medical examiner for the San Francisco Police Department, working alongside homicide detective Hal Harris, she uncovers the tales the dead can't tell about their final moments. It is a job that gives her purpose—and a safe haven from her former life at the hands of an abusive husband. Although it's been seven years since she escaped that ordeal, she still checks over her shoulder to make sure no one is behind her.

Schwartzman's latest case is deeply troubling: the victim bears an eerie resemblance to herself. What's more, a shocking piece of evidence suggests that the killer's business is far from over—and that Schwartzman may be in danger. In this pulse-pounding thriller from award-winning writer Danielle Girard, a woman must face her worst nightmare to catch a killer.

Good fast moving story with plenty of excitement and some clever dialogue. Believable main characters were brought to life by clear and precise narration . A plausible ending with a chilling build up. Looking forward to book two of this series of itd as good as this one

The storyline in this book was hugely enjoyable. There was a good amount of drama, and you could really feel for the characters. Unfortunately though, the narrator was very... flat. Her voice didn't match moments in the story, there was no real definition between "thinking moments" and "action moments" I made it to the end, and I am glad I did, but I would love to hear the narrator get a little more....animated in her work.

Great Story, not Great Narrator

This was my first read with Danielle Girard. It was slow paced, strong and mysterious building on the intensity and drama for the conclusion of this episode with Dr. Schwartzman.
I struggled to put this book down and look forward to Book 2.

Loved listening to this book, it was well read and a really interesting story. As well as the medical terms used it seemed like the author had really researched and understood the topics she wrote a out and described them really well. You won't be disappointed.

Great book.

without being disrespectful, the book I found to be too repetitive, and the narrator was too clinical,and did not come across as being interested in the book. I have deleted the other 3 in this series.

repetitive to the point of boring,
