About this listen
What should have been a routine afternoon on the witness stand for forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose turns into a shocking assault that leaves her bruised and bloodied. Following on the heels of a series of other traumatic events, the attack sends Claudia to the brink of a breakdown. Her fiancé, LAPD Homicide Detective Joel Jovanic, learns of the attack while leading a homicide investigation into a mailbox bomb.
An innocent housekeeper in the tony Venice neighborhood is dead, and the homeowner is the CEO of a major pesticide-producing corporation that has been targeted in the past. When a notebook found in a geocache near the crime scene leads to the protest group People for Safe Food, Jovanic needs Claudia to identify the handwriting of a suspected eco-terrorist.
Though she may have recovered physically from the assault weeks later, Claudia’s fears continue to plague her. Desperate to get away, she accepts an invitation to lecture in the UK, but her trip turns into a nightmare when she runs afoul of both the FBI and New Scotland Yard. Jovanic’s homicide case has followed her to London where she finds herself unexpectedly allied with the chief suspect.

After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice - and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead.

As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Imagine waking up on a train with no recollection of how you got there. You have no idea who you are--no name, no memories, no life. The only thing you know is, you cannot tell anyone, especially the police. By chance or by fate, leaving the train in a beach town, this young woman runs into someone who knows her and gives her a ride home. There she finds two IDs, two sets of keys. One face, but two separate lives.

Best I've Read all year !!

Best book in the series so far!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Reading about Claudia’s world makes me wish I too were a handwriting expert. What would I need to add to my education? How do you gain the notoriety needed to be accepted as a witness in court? Would I be good at it? So many questions! I love the bits I learn as I read these stories.
Now back to the story… Edge of the seat, outstanding, amazing, superb…. Am I making myself clear? If you love suspense mystery, this is a story and a series for you. The writing is crisp, the characters are warm, and the mystery is unique and suspenseful.
Narration: Again, Anna Crowe is an amazing narrator. She does a superb job of bringing all of the characters to life.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookboom, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
