Publisher's summary

Hollis Morgan has come a long way since serving time for her ex-husband’s white-collar crimes. After receiving a state pardon, she is now a probate attorney at the Bay Area firm, where she began as a paralegal. In a case close to home, her manager, George Ravel, inherits a fortune from his newly found birth mother, but her dead husband’s heirs are overcome with greed, not grief. They are determined to discredit her will and deny her natural son even one cent of the millions they believe should belong to their father’s estate. George asks Hollis to handle the case, but her attention is divided.

A dead woman has been discovered with Hollis’s business card - one that dates back to Hollis’s years on parole. The police don’t believe Hollis’s claim that she never met Olivia Shur. As it turns out, she did know the woman, only under another name. At the time of her death, Olivia Shur possessed a list that could end the careers and lives of several public officials and prominent businessmen. Copies of that list exist. Someone believes Hollis has one of them and—and they’ll go to any extreme to obtain it.

To protect her friends and stay alive, Hollis turns to her ex-con buddies from the Fallen Angels Book Club. In this case, there are too many people on both sides of the law who are determined to see her stopped.

Great story, poor narration

I became interested in the books after seeing the movies on Lifetime. The storyline is interesting and takes some unexpected turns. However, I was tempted to not read the book due to the narration. The voices often sound like this is a horror story. The narration frequently sounds scary, nasally and like all characters are shaken and sickly, with many of the voices except Hollis. There just is not enough variation in tones and genders. The narration is distracting and creepy. I am tempted to see if the book is available on kindle with narration. I would prefer computerized voice than this.
