About this listen

To find a missing girl, Sandy must return to the insidious places she once worked tirelessly to escape

Sandy Corrigan used to be called Diamond. She used to live in an apartment with other girls like her, though she rarely slept there, instead spending her evenings in hotel rooms around Orlando with lonely, unfaithful men. That is, until the incident.

But despite the personal hell she endured, the nightmarish crisis saved her from a life spent in strangers' beds. Sandy now spends her evenings reading to her six-year-old son, Tyler, and her days working for her brother' s private investigation business.

Despite severing all ties to her former life, a girl from her past reappears and asks Sandy to investigate the disappearance of a young call girl. Unsure of whether or not the girl is alive, and wary of the past traumas the investigation could bring to the surface, Sandy takes the case. What she doesn' t expect to discover is a sordid web of corruption, sex, and murder, and she soon grows more entangled with each step she takes. Can she survive the horrors she thought she escaped years ago?

Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Lisa Gardner

Was this book perfect? No, but few books are. This one was 90%+. Diamond Cut was an excellent mystery, edgy with very few loose ends! I love the strength of the main character, that she owns her past and identifies her strengths and flaws. When I read Diamond Cut, I felt that I was in a Kathryn Dance format (author Jeffrey Deaver). While Dance was a career investigator, Sandy Corrigan is a newly minted PI trying to figure things out. Recently, I finished reading/listening to the first few crime mysteries with the character Sydney Rye by author Emily Kimmelman. While I found the Sydney Rye books a hair more interesting and complicated, but I found Diamond Cut more polished and satisfying ... more along the lines of a Kathryn Dance type of novel. While Deaver leverages Dance's science and kinesics, Cavanaugh highlights Corrigan's past and instincts as a result. Kudos to Cavanaugh for putting together a high-end mystery!

Well written and a great plot!!!

This is my first book by this author. And I am excited to continue reading this series! Diamond Cut is about a former call girl who violently found her way out of that life. And she made a new, good life for herself as a private investigator working for her brother. The description made this very intriguing. There are some incredibly heartbreaking moments in this book. I actually had tears in my eyes a few times. While we did not get an up close and personal view of a call girl, we did get more detail than I have read in other books. My heart broke for those women.
This book also made me very nervous. I was so tense and anxious for Sandy and what could happen next! She did not always make the best decisions, but she did do what she thought was right and in the best interest of others.
There were a few things I saw coming and some I did not. Towards the end, I actually gasped out loud. And just when I thought it was over, it kept going! Definitely did not see the ending coming. I am hoping to read more about Garrity in the future. I really liked his character! As well as Sandy’s. Overall, a great read.

I enjoyed learning more about “The City Beautiful”. Being new to Orlando it was interesting to hear about the familiar streets I drive on almost every day. The storyline kept my attention and I was able to finish the book in less than 3 days.

The dark side of Orlando!
