About this listen
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LIED?
The first lie: MONSTERS DON’T EXIST.
When the body of a man is discovered in the Boston Common, Martina finds herself entering a horrific nightmare. She discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of ancient methods of persecution being carried out by a Puritan-indoctrinated serial killer who believes the devil walks among us.
The second lie: YOU WOULD KNOW A MONSTER IF YOU SAW ONE.
After the first victim is dismissed as gang-related, Martina fears there is more to the murder than meets the eye. Her instincts are soon proven correct when another victim is found, her body displayed in the same gruesome manner. But Boston has dark secrets of its own. Now, the threads of the past are unraveling once again as history repeats the sins of our fathers. A time when religion reigned and the word of God was the ultimate persecutor.
The third lie: YOU CAN SAVE EVERYONE.
Just as Martina and her partner, Neil, discover the dark rituals have a link to the past, the tables are turned, and they are pitted against time to stop the "Wingmaker" before he strikes again. Martina’s faith will be tested as she fights her own demons and more bodies continue to mount. Can she stop the killer, or has the next victim already taken flight?

What happened to Peter’s first family? His wife, his children—all of them are dead, and rumors swirl around Peter himself as the culprit.

And now I’ve built my own family with him. We did our best to leave ...

Everyone is hiding a secret. Including me. The last thing I want to be doing on the coldest day of the year is sleeping rough on the streets of Plymouth.

The house is run by Jupiter, who gives all his girls and clients codenames. When he finds out I’m young and untouched, he names me Virgo. He says he’ll take care of me, because he has very special plans for me. One of his clients is going to pay a lot of money to ...

The Automatic "Reader" is awful

Virtual Voice Does Not Work with this Book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers, police procedurals, and historical crime, I highly recommend checking this one out.
The narration almost ruined this for me. I understand the economic benefits of using virtual voices, but this was not the book for it! Each chapter starts with an abbreviation for the word "chapter," followed by a Roman numeral. It’s like someone just spitting out random letters of the alphabet. The Bostonian accent was incredibly hard to follow—at least, I assume that’s what it was. I’d much rather pay for an audiobook with a narrator who enhances the story and brings it to life.
Great story, awful narration!
