About this listen

A #1 Amazon Charts bestseller and Prime Reading’s most read book of 2018.

In this multimillion-copy bestselling series from #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh, former prosecutor Morgan Dane faces the most personal - and deadly - case of her lifetime.

After the devastating loss of her husband in Iraq, Morgan Dane returns to Scarlet Falls, seeking the comfort of her hometown. Now, surrounded by family, she’s finally found peace and a promising career opportunity - until her babysitter is killed and her neighbor asks her to defend his son, Nick, who stands accused of the murder.

Tessa was the ultimate girl next door, and the community is outraged by her death. But Morgan has known Nick for years and can’t believe he’s guilty, despite the damning evidence stacked against him. She asks her friend Lance Kruger, an ex-cop turned private eye, for help. Taking on the town, the police, and a zealous DA, Morgan and Lance plunge into the investigation, determined to find the real killer. But as they uncover secrets that rock the community, they become targets for the madman hiding in plain sight.

Critic reviews

"Search no further for a suspenseful audiobook. And narrator Cris Dukehart gives it a dynamic performance.... With a performance that ranges from depicting fear to delivering shocking reveals, Dukehart draws the listener in from the first chapter." ( AudioFile)

I’ve listened to many audio books during the pandemic especially when out walking. This sounded so very tired and never caught my attention, sadly hence the reviews.

Narrator voice is monotonous

My kitchen has never been so clean just so I had moments to myself to listen to this wonderful book, gripping story line and amazing performance can't wait for next book in the series, roll on September
Only slight dissatisfaction was that the poor young man Nick was not exonerated inform of the town after his life had been completed destroyed - my niggle nothing against the author's ending

Amazing

Got to admit that Melinda is one of the best thriller writers I've indulged in. Always pacy with good dialogue the stories are exciting with red herrings and twists all through the book and very little if any side padding. Most enjoyable and highly recommended

They're out there preying !!!

I think this is the perfect blend of mystery, with a touch of romance that does not overwhelm the plotline. Morgan was a widow with three kids, hesitant to consider a new romance while navigating day to day life with re-entering the workforce for the first time since her husband's death. Lance was a detective recovering from a gunshot injury, working temporarily as a Private Investigator while trying to get back into active duty on the police force. He was openly dubious about the wisdom of even considering a relationship with a single mother of three, and at a crossroads in his career which left him feeling uncertain about where his future was heading.

Added into this mix was the murder of a young girl with a complicated past, and the experience of her boyfriend who was pleading innocence when the police, the public and the media were all convinced of his guilt.

This murder mystery had just enough red herrings to keep it interesting, and also a few hints and teasers for future books, but not enough to leave me feeling cheated at the end. I did guess the correct murderer quite early on, but not with any certainty, and I appreciated characters that investigated with some intelligence, not making any baseless assumptions or missing subtle clues along the way.

This book has dual narration from the point of view of several characters, including the victim, the murderer and the accused. Narration was excellent, and I look forward to listening to more in this series.

Good mystery with a touch of romance
