Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Renee Jones brings a fresh, modern take to the thriller genre that will keep you guessing until the very end.

“The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.” (Jean Cocteau)

Some call him friend or boss.
Some call him husband or dad.
Some call him son, even a favorite son.

But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: The Poet.

A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims.

One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because he’s writing this story for her.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

Had to finish. to see if it improved

was missing something..... a little too slow......a little confusing.....a little not believable..... and the main character seemed drag on and on about her thoughts, essentially repeating herself using different verbage.

Great "whodunnit" kinda book

A story told by 2 people from 2 places puts you in the middle and this book does that. Typical " I dont need anyone " female detective surrounded by men who drop everything for her at any time . The portrayal from scott brick of the killer is just spot on! Scott brick could tell God a story and have Him enthrolled. All around a great listen. Would i spend a credit on it or pay 20$s? Maby but since its included its worth the investment of time.

WOW what a twisted and exciting ride

This book was a recommendation on Audible for me. I rarely pick those up but I am so grateful I did this one. I was captured by the characters and the twisted plot from the first chapter. I enjoyed the narration duet. I love a book that is suspenseful and engaging to the point I am on pins and needles as I listen. Every time I thought I had it figured out and when it seems Sam has it charted....off we go again. I can only say take the time to enjoy this thriller/police crime in any format and you will be unable to put it down
