Esme is a start-up success who runs her own successful media company and heads up a series of investigative podcasts. She also has a beautiful home, where she lives with her sister, Michelle, and her son, Zachary. Sure, there’s an ex-husband hanging around - Owen likes to pop round a bit too often - but everything is civilised and amicable. She has life all tied up. But Esme knows that any successful podcaster is only as good as her last story, so she sets out on a new series of interviews to get to the truth behind Simone Fischer’s high-profile murder of her husband.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Irritating and filthy language

slow at first and irritating! but then.....!!!
Reviewed: 01-04-23
At first, I was irritated by the voices and the drawl...
But once I got each character set in my head and the story progressed, I loved it all!! I really wish the foul language would have been left out! Just shows the writer has no creativity in expression. I normally delete a book that uses foul language, but I plugged through. Since I could not return it.
Try using some clever words to express disgust, etc... it may be fun for you and the listener!

Excellant spins... but!!!
Reviewed: 12-28-22
It was a slow beginning actually, but then the story took on intriguing turns and became captivating! The only thing I don't like about writers who bring in Biblical events is when they leave out very, very important details of the Bible events that are deceiving the readers or listeners. What is written is written, so why pick and choose? Just be correct! when Saul of Tarsus (who became Paul the Apostle) had his Divine intervention meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus, and given instruction were to go to be converted to become a Christian, he was Baptized in the name of Jesus and filled with the Holy Ghost; and that is the only way to be born again... that was Pauls message throughout his writings. He wrote over 2 3rds of the New Testament, preaching Jesus Christ ; God manifested in flesh, our Savior! So it would have been scripturally correct to have each character in this story follow in the same and Repent and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues ( as Paul said he did more than they all)... to give credence to the wiring. Why are worries afraid to be accurate? So they don't offend non believers? It's a money thing for sure! I would rather be accurate and make sure I don't offend God than to try and please man for filty lucre!

Reviewed: 09-12-22
I enjoyed it but it was hard to keep up with who's who and what's what so I kept going back to listen to the chapter again to keep the characters straight. I don't usually listen or read a book the second time but I did this one. it was more enjoyable the second time because I was able to keep all the characters straight, so I was able to really enjoy the fabulous narration. I could listen to Jayne Entwistle all day long. I just love her voice and style!!!

At first I was not sure how I was going to like this. But once I got a hold of the story unfolding I absolutely loved every bit of it. what wonderful imagination went into this story. I wanted to listen to another book Narrated by Jayne Entwhistle. I can listen to her forever because she just hits it right on with all these different characters. Great listen.

A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.
