About this listen

Carla Neggers' sizzling novels are loved for their deliciously funny dialogue, electrifying suspense, and heart-stopping romance. Here, the New York Times bestselling author presents a fast-paced, scintillating tale of love, art, and danger....

Annie Payne realizes her dream when she moves to San Francisco and opens an art gallery. But when she accepts a secret commission to bid for a painting going on the auction block, she finds herself thrown into a haunting swirl of events linked to a five-year-old unsolved murder. Who is this secret client?

Marina owner Garvin MacCrae was determined to have the portrait of his late wife, and knows of only one person who would want it enough to outbid him. Could the intriguing art dealer who represented the auction winner hold the key to the mystery of his wife's death? Working together to untangle a murderer's clues, Garvin and Annie strike so many sparks off each other that they could start another San Francisco fire - a four-alarmer fueled by an explosive mix of suspicion, attraction, and love.

I wasn't sure if I'd like this novel as I don't normally go for this type of novel. It was OK. I found it a little slow in areas which I realise was the authors way to build suspense. I grew frustrated with the characters. But it was an enjoyable listen.

I found the narrator ok. At times the voices seemed to merge into one and I found it difficult to know which character was talking.

Not my usual choice

An enjoyable enough story which engages to the end but … unfortunately I guessed the bad guy fairly early on!
Not a 5* read but ok!

Romance and a little mystery

Some very engaging elements to this story and Carla Neggers paints really excellent word pictures.

Entertaining but predictable

The storyline was original and had intrigue, but the narrators were totally flat! Just didn’t bring personality or enthusiasm to the characters. Had to make myself stick with it, not as good as her previous books. Glad it was an inclusive and didn’t buy separately!

Not as good as it could have been
