Everything old is new again in love and murder.

Work together, live together, and play together is the name of the game for Royce Locke and Sawyer Key. But one of those things changes when Chief Mendoza taps Sawyer to lead the newly formed cold case unit. His first task: solve the Magnolia Murders that spanned three decades and suddenly stopped in 2000.

Chaos ensues when a fourth Magnolia Queen contender is murdered during a preliminary round. With the pageant's one hundredth anniversary looming, the pressure is on to produce results. Royce and Sawyer, along with their new partners, have to team up to solve the Magnolia Murders—old and new.

As the investigation continues, a surprise visitor and an unexpected phone call force the men to face painful things from their pasts. The future Royce and Sawyer dream of is within their grasp, but first, they'll need to uproot the seeds of discontent they've buried deep.

Contains mature themes.

Really, really wanted to love this, but it was slow and plodding. For once, I wanted less sex, more plot. Tristan James was great as always.

Disappointed

📖 Story comment: Good pace and interesting story.
I'm probably bias, it took me a while to warm up to these characters in the Ground Zero series, but now I'm a fan. There's probably a little too much "se*y time", in this one for me (I'm at an age where I prefer more story), but the characters are being given the opportunity to grow both individually and as a couple and I'm enjoying the direction the series is taking - bring on more chaos!

🎧 Narrator comment: Tristan James can be a narrator you either enjoy or don't. Personally I love him, I go through phases where he's just what I need in a narrator. I find his tones soothing, he has good timing and inflections and he brings these characters to life. I enjoyed his performance of this title and will happily listen to it again.

I enjoyed the first trilogy about Sawyer and Royce, the Sinister in Savannah series was entertaining, and so far, the Matrimony and Mayhem series is my favorite of the books set in Savannah. Royce and Sawyer's relationship continues to evolve along with their personalities. The cases Royce and Sawyer are tasked with solving have some interesting twists. The expanding cast of characters is also interesting, and I enjoyed getting to know them.

I liked the pacing and rhythm of this story which made the book a particularly enjoyable audiobook. Tristan James' voice is pleasant, and aside from a few word pronunciations I didn't expect, I found his performance entertaining.

Good story. Good narration.

These two were a good pair to listen to. Listening to Tristan reading this book was so goood.

Loving this series.

The storyline is ok, but I can't get past the narrator. He is very robotic and boring! I'm barely on the 2nd chapter and seriously considering not continuing the book. Audiobooks are supposed to draw you in to continue listening to the storyline. This one unfortunately fell short. I just wish I could return these books and listen to others with more dynamic narrators. I doubt I will finish the series which I'm bummed about.

Boring Narrator
