About this listen

In this long-awaited new installment of the legendary Kate Delafield mystery series, Kate is forced to confront her most formidable opponent: herself. Kate Delafield is in a world of trouble. Five months into mandated retirement from the LAPD, her long term on-again off-again relationship with Aimee Grant is off again. She's become hopelessly dependent on the only substance that can drown her pain over Aimee - and the illness of her best friend. She is lost without her police career and beset by terrifying dreams. Into this world walks Captain Carolina Walcott of the LAPD, with a request that Kate secretly try to locate Kate's former police partner, Joe Cameron, who has vanished. She also offers Kate a business card - the name on it a woman from Kate's past who may be able to offer a lifeline back to the self Kate once was.

As she deals with a shocking and inexplicable homicide, Kate also pursues a trail of evidence toward Cameron that leads her into the high desert. Here she will find profound challenges to the truth of everything she ever believed in as a principled police officer. Here she must decide what it is she still believes: about her past, her present, her future.

Not as good as thought it would be but a predictable story easy to listening

Although this book is the last in the Kate Delafield series it didn’t matter. The story worked as a stand-alone telling the tale of a retiring police woman who was struggling- with alcohol, with retirement, with the breakdown of her relationship, with the imminent loss of her best friend - and on top of all that she’s roped into helping her ex-partner who has disappeared.

So worth a listen but make sure you have some tissues to hand just in case you get as invested as I did.

Tear jerker

This story kept me finding more chores, walking longer and taking longer routes just so that I could listen to the next chapter! If the are more Kate Delafield books I really look forward to listening to them. The narrator was pretty good too.

Gripping crime story.
