Publisher's summary

In Tracy Clark's electrifying new mystery featuring Cassandra Raines, the former Chicago cop turned private investigator looks into a suspicious death as a favor to a friend - and makes some powerful enemies....

Sitting in cold cars for hours, serving lowlifes with summonses...being a PI means riding out a lot of slow patches. But sometimes the most familiar paths can lead straight to danger - like at Cass's go-to diner, where new delivery guy Jung Byson wants to enlist her expertise. Jung's friend, Tim Ayers, scion of a wealthy Chicago family, has been found dead, floating in Lake Michigan near his luxury boat. And Jung is convinced there's a murderer on the loose....

Cass reluctantly begins digging only to discover that Jung neglected to mention one crucial fact: Tim Ayers was terminally ill. Given the large quantities of alcohol and drugs found in his body, Ayers' death appears to be either an accident or suicide. Yet as much as Cass would like to dismiss Jung's suspicions, there are too many unanswered questions and unexplained coincidences.

Why would anyone kill a dying man? Working her connections on both sides of the law, Cass tries to point the police in the right direction. But violence is escalating around her, and Cass's persistence has already attracted unwanted attention, uncovering sinister secrets that Cass may end up taking to her grave.

Very enjoyable!

I really loved this book. The story intriguing and entertaining. The narrator was fantastic. She was so very spot on and made you believe the story and characters. I finally found a detective to replace the late Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone. Cass is such a sassy interesting character which keeps the listener interested.

Cass is intelligent, educated and strong who happens to be a African American woman! An amazing cast of supporting characters that make this book sing.

Can’t wait for the next book!

Great listen!

Tracy Clark creates full characters and Shari Peele gives a fantastic performance. One of my favorite parts is how deftly Clark reminds us of what happened in the previous book without it being a straight “recap”; the characters have grown and changed in the intervening time so the way that they view the events of the previous book in the series changes too.

A Chicago PI Story

Narrator, Shari Peele has the perfect voice for Cass Rains, former Chicago homicide detective, now PI. She is really convincing in this role. BORROWED TIME, the 2nd book in author Tracy Clark's series, is the story of a dying man whose accidental death is unacceptable to one friend who just won't let it go. Once Cass begins to believe that the death was not an accident, the trail leads to a diabolical plot and the growing chance that the police will never thoroughly investigate the case.
Great plot, wonderful characters, perfect narrator. A little too much description, but a good mystery overall.

Great Story

Tracy did it again! It is a real nail-biter that keeps you on to the last word. Cassandra is the PI whom I would hire if ever needed (lol). I recommend it.
