About this listen

Shaw and North are best friends, private detectives, and in danger of losing their agency. A single bad case, followed by crippling lawsuits, has put them on the brink of closing shop. Until, that is, a client walks into their Benton Park office.

Matty Fennmore is young, blond, and beautiful, and he’s in danger. When he asks for Shaw and North’s help foiling a blackmail scheme, the detectives are quick to accept.

The conspiracy surrounding Matty runs deeper than Shaw and North expect. As they dig into the identity of Matty’s blackmailer, they are caught in a web that touches politicians, the local LGBT community, and the city’s police.

An attack on Matty drives home the rising stakes of the case, and Shaw and North must race to find the blackmailer before he can silence Matty. But a budding romance lays bare long-buried feelings between Shaw and North, and as their relationship splinters, solving the case may come at the cost of their friendship.

This book was a surprise! I'm not the biggest fan of the crime genre, but Gregory Ashe did a fantastic job here. I love the mutual pining between the two main characters and can't wait to listen to the other books in the series. The narrator did a fantastic job differentiating between the two main characters!

Enjoyable

The old version of this book was so much better but you changed the narrator who is awful and now I can't listen to this anymore as he is so terrible. I paid for the Version I liked as the narrator is very important to me. I feel robbed we should be given a choice if you have to re record the book I would NOT have bought this with the current narrator.

This new version is terrible

book contains descriptipns of domestic violence multiple instances of sexual harrassment and explicit depictions of violence. threats of sexual violence.

zero trigger warnings. completely inappropriate behaviour from cops- hitting on protagonist on multiple occaisions and demanding that protagonist be "grateful" a cop "caught" someone who inflicted extreme violence on protagonist years previous.

it's extremely hard to enjoy a story when i'm feeling physically sick from having my ptsd triggered.

this book needs trigger warnings
