Jackie Swaitkowski investigates the death of a female pilot who had a family tree filled with ex-cons and a passenger list packed with Hamptons high society. Just before Eugenie Conklin's plane took a nosedive, she tossed out a camera case that held an unusual set of photos. While defending Eugenie's husband during the accident investigation, Jackie realizes that she recognizes more than a few of the faces in those pictures. They may be able to prove her client's innocence, but Jackie soon learns that to find the answer to Eugenie's death will mean uncovering a mystery from her own family's past as well.

I went looking for this narrator’s reads as she has a good range of characters and found this delightful mystery. It had a wow ending, and I will go back and buy book one. She has not done all that many books, so I’m slowly going through her meager library of books. The author can be a bit wordy so not in Michael Connelly class but very good.

Plot was only so-so. A bit too contrived for my taste. Knopf can do better. The voice actor did a good job much of the time but the attempts at changing voice for other characters was painful - felt like a 3rd grade play.

Not the best from Knopf
