In this exciting ride of suspense Jovanic has an unpredictable case on his hands, which involves Annabelle and is challenging for him and Claudia. It is an amazing and gripping story with an abundance of plot twists, beautifully performed with dual narration. I loved every minute of this book, but my favourite part was the ending!

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.

It is one of those books that I did not want to end. The interesting story carried me along and made me keep listening. This Shelia Lowe's series about Claudia Rose, who is a forensic handwriting expert.

I absolutely loved this book! Sheila Lowe wrote some incredible twists in this book. I had never really thought about sugar skull tattoo's before, nor had I thought much about tattoo artists all having their own signature style designs or work like an actual signature. The descriptions and imagery in the story made it so easy to visualize the details. The relationship between Claudia and Joel was so realistic too. I liked their banter, and how the author injected humor into the story as well. The idea that Claudia could read so much about a person from seeing their signature was fascinating. Without giving away spoilers, I loved the twist at the end. Kudos to the author for that! Donna Allen and Richard Brewer both did a fabulous performance with this book. They brought the characters to life with their voices and the emotions. I love it when I can hear exactly who is speaking, and both were wonderful. This book is a standalone listen and part of the forensic handwriting series. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrators.

This story is one most parents or guardians can relate to. A troubled, rebellious 16 year old doing things she ought not to. However there is more to this, as the consequences of Annabelle's actions, make the story more gripping., nit knowing what happens at the end

Great story that kept me interested until the end.

Wow, what a roller coaster of a book. Another well written episode in the life of Claudia our handwriting expert and her family and associates. A lot of interesting facts about tattoo artists in this one too. Full of twists and turns it keeps the listener hooked from the very first page. Highly Recommended. The dual narration worked perfectly in this offering from Sheila Lowe.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the author and leave this honest review.
