Story
Lt. Eve Dallas is just home from a long overdue vacation when she responds to a call of an unattended death. The victim is Martin Greenleaf, retired Internal Affairs Captain. At first glance, the scene appears to be suicide, but the closer Eve examines the body, the more suspicious she becomes. An unlocked open window, a loving wife and family, a too-perfect suicide note—Eve's gut says it's a homicide. After all, Greenleaf put a lot of dirty cops away during his forty-seven years in Internal Affairs. It could very well be payback—and she will not rest until the case is closed.

Second reading
Reviewed: 09-09-23
I know I enjoyed this first Jenna Alton and David Kane book the first time I read it because I’ve continued to read every book in the series since. What I did not expect was how it was like reading it for the first time again. I enjoyed it very much except I’ve become accustomed to Patricia Rodriguez’s narration so this narrator took getting used to.

I can’t follow this new narrator. Please bring Lisette Lecat back. The characters sound cartoonish, especially M’Makutsi and Charlie and sometimes M’Maramostwe. This is unfortunate because this series is one of my favorites. I’ll need to quit this first round and try again later. Perhaps if I’m prepared for it.........

I wish the narrator spoke a bit faster. It was too slow for normal speed but a bit too fast for 1.25X speed. Story itself was entertaining.

Too bad the last book in the series was not performed by White. Pixie, Antonio and Angelica were just not the same. At times I couldn’t tell who was speaking. This surprised me since Campbell was the first narrator of this series.

Don’t bother listening to this book! Almost all the narrators sound agitated and exhausted! It was very difficult to listen to. I couldn’t follow the story line. I had to quit listening.
