Publisher's summary

She’s on her last chance. When the bodies start piling up, she’ll need to save more than her job.

Martina Monroe is a single bad day away from losing it all. Stuck catching insurance fraudsters and cheating spouses due to a DUI, the despondent PI yearns to return to more fulfilling gigs. So when a prospective client asks for her by name to identify an unknown infant in a family photo, she leaps at the opportunity and travels to the one place she swore never to go: Back home.

As the pressure mounts and the temptation of booze calls like a siren, Martina digs into the mystery and discovers many of the threads have razor-sharp ends. And forced to partner with a resentful detective investigating a linked suspicious death, the haunted private eye unravels clues that delve deep into her past...and put her in a dark and dangerous corner.

Can this gritty detective unlock the truth before she’s drowned in a sea of secrets?

What She Left is the pause-resisting first book in the Martina Monroe Private Investigator Series. If you like high-stakes games, jaw-dropping twists, and embattled seekers struggling to do right, then you’ll love H.K. Christie’s thrilling search for answers.

Great Female Sleuth Story!

I loved this book and can see it's a great 1st book in series. I loved the complexity of the characters and the character development. It all came together nicely in the end. All the clues fell into place. It left me wanting to go to the next book.

Eye opener

This is one of those novels that shocks you and totally empathetic to the characters, I actually have an extended family member this happened to back in the 1960's, but it was the stepfather and her mother left him but also raised the child, which was her grandchild, as her child, so they grew up as sister's but in reality, they was much more. There was a lot of frustration in that relationship but they did the best they could do to keep the child in the family and love her as she grew. The truth came out on the oldest deathbed. Took a lot of therapy to fix that. Great eye opener.

Good story…but

Stilted performance that impacted the enjoyment of the overall experience. I would recommend reading instead of listening.

Not a fan of the narrator

It was a struggle to go through this book it was too monotone, and all the characters sounded the same.

The Narration Ruined this Audiobook

I enjoyed the story. It was very entertaining, and would have given 5 stars if the narration had not been a horrible monotone, that never ended!

Good story

Good plot, but the narration was so robotic it was hard to listen to. Also hard to keep the characters straight at times as to which was speaking. I am sure the narrator is a lovely person, but not the right one for this type of job.

Pretty good!

I liked the story enough to finish the book but the narration was rough, emotionless.

Intriguing and clean

I liked that the writer was clear, the narrator was very good and no trashy language was used.

The worst narrator I have ever listened to


The story seems good but it’s hard to even finish this book with the narrator. She is so monotone and has no emotion. I can’t even finish this book. I never not finish either
