Publisher's summary

The scent is unmistakable - gardenias, sweet and delicate, the same perfume that his beautiful first wife, Jennifer, always wore. Opening his eyes in the hospital room where he's recovering from an accident, New Orleans detective Rick Bentz sees her standing in the doorway. Then Jennifer blows him a kiss and disappears. But it couldn't have been Jennifer. She died 12 years ago....

Once out of the hospital, Bentz begins to see Jennifer everywhere. Could she still be alive? But it was Bentz who identified Jennifer's body after her horrible car wreck, and there had been no question in his mind that it was her crumpled form behind the wheel, her clothes, her wedding ring. He's never doubted it - until now. He can't tell his new wife, Olivia, about the sightings or his secret fear that he's losing his mind. But Olivia is also hiding a secret....

When a copy of Jennifer's death certificate arrives in the mail, emblazoned with a red question mark, Bentz follows the postmark trail to Los Angeles, returning to the painful memories he's tried so hard to forget, and straight into a killer's web.

Someone's been waiting patiently, silently. Someone who knows exactly what happened that night 12 years ago and has been anticipating Bentz's every move.

Soon it will be Bentz's turn to suffer for his sins. But he won't be the only one made to pay the ultimate price. For a diabolical killer has now made Olivia the prime target...

LOVE THIS SERIES

I just like having a series to listen to that the main characters are not always changing.

Definitely not her best!

I like listening to series and I believe this is the 4th or 5th book in this series.
The first few I really enjoyed...
The writer must have had writers block because this was way to far fetched and the focus was ridiculous.
I should have payed attention to other reviewers.

Love Lisa Jackson, but not her best!

I am a huge Lisa Jackson fan and am always entertained by her writing. This book was good, but I have liked some of her other novels better. Worth the time to listen, always.

YES

Have enjoyed this series and was hoping Rick would finally lose his ex wife's hold over him. YAY This book ties everything up. Author kept me thinking who is the killer til the end. This was my favorite book in the series.

Good/not great listen...

The story of Bentz' journey to discover the truth about his "dead wife" is intriguing. Don't understand why the sub plot was included ... Was just left hanging with only the most cursory of explanations in the epilogue...

Lisa Jackson best

I’ve listen to about every book Lisa Jackson has written. Most of them were absolutely great but this one ranks at the very top of the ones she’s written.

How love can tangle everything

The narrator was superb. The plot with all its twists and turns moved along nicely and I was hung on every word for days.

Terrific

I have no idea what the other reviewer is talking about! This book is terrific - I even recommended it to my husband. It keeps your attention, and the best part is it's narrated by two people - a man and a woman. I don't know why more audio books don't do that - it's much more realistic. Anyway, I've listened to 100's of books on Audible - and this one well worthwhile.
