About this listen
Emma's life isn't nearly as perfect as she thought. In fact, it's a house of cards, and it's getting ready to come tumbling down.
A frightened woman in need of help shows up at her door. Emma leaves the room and, when she returns, the woman and her child are gone. There is no evidence that they were there, but Emma knows what she saw. Doesn't she?
She might've been able to convince her friends and family, and even herself, of the truth if that had been the only incident. But it wasn't. It was only the first.
In a few short weeks, Emma goes from belle of the ball to social outcast. Everyone in her life thinks she's crazy. And they might not be wrong. The Kramers have a secret after all, and Emma could be following in her grandmother's footsteps.
Murder was never part of the deal before.
But it is now.

Story
I’d heard of the Baby Caroline case, of course. When a baby is snatched from her mother’s arms, the whole country knows about it. I knew about the parents left lying by the swimming pool, the open window in the nursery. But I never dreamed it had anything to do with me. Today, my beautiful daughter turned one. We were unwrapping gifts and blowing out candles when the knock came at the door, and they took my mother away. The police say she’s not really my mother. That she stole me, 30 years ago.

Story
The Riviera means indulgence - if you’ve got money. For Sadie Reynolds, a down-on-her-luck student, the Riviera means dingy hostels and back streets. When a wrong turn puts her in jeopardy, the last thing she expects is to be saved by the most handsome stranger she’s ever locked eyes with. When she later wakes up in a luxury suite with a Mediterranean view, she’s in the tender care of her rescuer: Olivier Dumont, France’s most eligible bachelor, billionaire hotelier, and heir to the Dumont fashion fortune.

Evil. That is really the best way to describe Jeremy Stonehart. When he was Stonehart. Is he that anymore? I don't know. As he reveals more and more of himself to me, I start to see a glimmer of the man beneath the surface. I start to understand, in some small way, that even evil comes from a source, from some initial seed that sprouted and took hold of a person's soul.

I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.

Some people measure life in hours. Weeks. I measure mine in kills. A covert military mission gone wrong robbed me of my memory and any link to my past. This is my existence now. I execute and survive. Nothing more, nothing less. I was ready to write Isabel Foster’s name in my ledger of unfortunate souls until she uttered the one word that could stop the bullet meant for her. My name. She knows my face. She knows me. She’s the key to the memories I’m not sure I want back. Now nothing is simple. I still have a job to do, and my soul isn’t worth saving. I’m not the man she thinks I am.

Great Book!

By: Katie Reus
The main character also veered between impossible to relate to and easy to relate to. The rich housewife in a bubble is completely unrelatable to me, but I could get past that because most women in my generation and older can at least relate to the feeling of having their strings held by the men in their lives regardless of the life or the type of strings, and many of us can relate to the escapism provided by pharmaceuticals. But I think both the "poor me, look how hard my life is, you just don't understand -- I'm rich but my life is still hectic and hard" narrative and the string theme were both beat to death a bit. The author didn't give the reader enough credit to make the connection, and at times, the "I'm on a string" theme felt a bit showy rather than telly, and the "I'm rich, but look how hard my life is" felt a bit shoved in my face. Yes, we get it. Rich women have problems too, and all women can feel trapped regardless of how much money they do or don't have. But the constantly mentioning it over and over again just got almost obnoxious, especially as a woman who has had to fight through poverty and single motherhood. I don't discount the problems in the lives of women who have more. I'm not envious of them for having more. I'm not about comparing problems to see whose is bigger. Just show me your problems, don't constantly try to convince me that they are problems (if that makes sense).
Lastly, I had a little trouble with the a couple of villain's dialogue there at the end. There were a few villains, and at the end, there's a scene where they all have their say. One of them was believable. The other two were a bit hackneyed. It wasn't as bad as I've seen, but still a bit over the top for me.
All in all, despite these flaws, I did enjoy the story, and think the author has promise. I just hope that in future thrillers, she can keep the thriller going without all of the interruptions with constant showy sex scenes. You can insinuate that the characters are going there...and you don't have to he a prude, just don't keep throwing me out of the story. If it's marketed as a psychological thriller, let it be that. If it's marketed as a Romance, then put in all the sexy sex you desire.
