What do you do when a killer targets the people you love the most? When he knows how to make them vulnerable? When he knows the same about you? These are the questions that haunt FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy. The police say his daughter’s death was an accident. Quincy will risk everything to learn the truth — and there’s only one person willing to help. Ex-cop Rainie Connor had once been paired professionally — and personally — with the brilliant FBI profiler. He helped her through the darkest days of her life.

This was the MOST thinly plotted, and asinine drivel I have listened to in a LONG time. Even the narration was subpar; and I listened to the WHOLE thing.🙄 Don’t be me, choose something else. Literally ANYTHING else. Help me help you.

All around Albuquerque, New Mexico, young women are going missing, seemingly vanished into thin air.

And when Jersey Andrews, the best friend of Alyssa's teenage daughter, Holly, joins the list of vanished girls, the case becomes personal. But this investigation will lead Alyssa and partner Cord into the most sinister depths of humanity; an evil place where life is expendable and where the depraved can fulfill their darkest desires - if they have the money.

Nonsense, utter nonsense. ZERO character development; and the plot relies on a series of coincidences. This is not a mystery, or a police procedural; it’s more like a Lifetime move in book form. And the narrator has breathy whispery voice that is beyond annoying. I’ll save you a credit. HARD PASS.

A beautiful coming of age novel filled with empathy, insight, and love. Sincere without being sentimental; I loved every minute of it.

Very respectable 4 star listen...not your typical “thriller.” A complex plot with plenty of twists and turns, with a rather satisfying ending.

From Martin Clark - praised by Entertainment Weekly as "our best legal-thriller writer" - comes a wickedly clever, tenderhearted, and intricately plotted novel about a hard-luck lawyer's refusal to concede defeat, even as fate, the court system, and a gang of untouchable con artists conspire against him.

Great complex legal thriller! Reminded me of The Firm; plenty of bad actors, but with a sympathetic and likable protagonist. Narration was excellent. Maybe not a 5 star listen, but a very solid 4.5!

I feel like it I should have liked this book; I think it’s probably a timely and important book, but I just couldn’t. The plot was disjointed and convoluted, and it was packed with a huge cast of extremely unlikeable characters. I listened to the bitter end, but you don’t need to punish yourself. Buy something else....ANYTHING else...

Trite and full of cliches....1 mild spoiler in review
Reviewed: 05-28-19
Who doesn’t love a good haunted house story? They’re kind of like pizza, even when they’re bad, they’re still pretty good. Sadly this is not the case here. Yes it was full of cliches, and yes it’s kind of a tired premise; that didn’t even bother me. What bothered me is that NOTHING happens....I keep waiting and waiting and when the “climax” finally occurs I barely recognized it. That coupled with several random and initially interesting plot lines that go absolutely NOWHERE! Random light fixture in the middle of the creepy forest!?? Tell me more; what does it mean? Why is it there? Author....nah you good....
2.5 stars.....

A likable cast of characters, a novel premise, and plenty of magic! What could be better:) A solid 4.5 stars; we could use a bit more of the protagonist’s backstory, and some more explanation of motives. But I’m assuming that will be covered in the subsequent books. A great new fantasy series, that I am looking forward to diving into!
*The narration is excellent

One of the MOST beautiful and moving books I have ever read. A timely story with complex well developed characters, that will stay with you for a long time. You’ll laugh out loud, and most certainly shed a few tears. It’s a absolute triumph; and I’m completely dejected that it’s over. I really couldn’t love it any more💓

An excellent book that might hit a little TOO close to home; during this current political climate. It skins over some parts where I would have appreciated more detail. But overall an interesting and exciting premise that is well told.
