Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the past is better left buried.

When the matriarch of a rich Seattle family dies under suspicious circumstances, private investigator Thomas Austin is on the case. This time, the suspect list is easy.

Seven people were in the lakefront mansion with the millionaire when she died: a spoiled son, a jealous brother-in-law, a beloved chef, a rebellious grandson, an arrogant memoirist, and a pair of successful daughters. All had motive. All had opportunity. But which one is the killer?

To solve the case, Austin must look into the past of one of Seattle's most powerful families. With the help of a fiery reporter and a long-lost diary, he uncovers a series of dark secrets that betray the criminal underbelly of old-money Seattle.

But the closer Austin gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. Sometimes, when you dig into a secret past, the past comes out to bury you.

Classic detective fiction meets a Pacific Northwest setting in this crime thriller perfect for fans of Mary Stone, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and Victor Methos.

Austin is so macho.

The characters have brought me in and I’m submerged. I want to know so badly what happened to the wife and what was she in too. I really wish he would at least make the reporter a side piece. He needs it.

Good Book

Good story and enough twists to keep us interested. I really like how the author doesn’t need sex or bad language. Just a good, enjoyable book to listen to. Good narration as well.

Great story, Easy follow

Story was good with twists and unique turns. Easy read but monotone voice on Audible. Overall good purchase and completely worth the follow up for a series.

Book 2 done- ready NOW for book 3!

Again- Washington settings that are all familiar to me. The Hansville connections. The Kitsap county sheriffs. This story has you being happy that the killer was caught. And then you still have 2 hours left because that’s not the end of the story! Awesome job! It’s flows well and easy listen! Great story line and the little continuous back story that is looking to grow even bigger! I recommend THIS SERIES to any crime junkie!

Listening to the description of the area as she narrates the story puts me right there as I have lived here most of my life
A great story teller
