Publisher's summary

In her previous career as a nurse, Mattie Winston's job was to keep death at bay. Now, as a medicolegal investigator, she's required to study death intimately - to figure out causes and timing, and help deduce whether it was natural or suspicious.

In the case of Montgomery "Monty" Dixon, a well-to-do Realtor, there can be little doubt: Broken pool cues do not embed themselves. Monty's body is found in the game room of his lavish house, the walls adorned with photos of Monty and various celebrities. But as Mattie and husband Steve Hurley, a homicide detective, both know, money and connections can't protect anyone from a killer.

The first suspect is Monty's wife, Summer, who claims to have been at a cooking class at the time. When that alibi is served up as a fake, Summer moves to the top of the suspects list, but is soon joined by Monty's ne'er-do-well son, Sawyer, who has racked up gambling debts he hoped his dad would pay off. Monty's twin brother is engaging in shady financial deals. An affair, a Ponzi scheme, a disputed inheritance...there are as many motives as suspects, and soon Mattie and Hurley have turned up other, possibly related deaths.

I LOVE THIS SERIES.

The first thing you need to know is you have to listen to these books in order. I promise you that you will be hooked. By listening to them in order, you better understand all of the nuances.

I love all the characters and I have thoroughly enjoyed each story. I am a big fan of how Ryan made Maddie a 6 ft tall, large footed, big boned woman. Maddie is the first main character who is 100% relatable. She is not a the textbook fit and beautiful type that you see most of the time. Maddie is your co-worker, your sister, your best friend. She is everyone. And I love that. And I love that she is not portrayed as this insecure nit-wit. She has her moments, but we all do. She is just not a mess all the time. She is smart and capable and she used her brain to get her out of tough spots. Adore her. I cannot wait for more books. I hope Ryan has not forgotten about Maddie and the team. This is a out of the ballpark series.

Pathetic

This needs to be the last book in the series.

It was pitiful. Boring and pathetic attempt to get a few more bucks for Ryan.

Don’t waste your money.
