About this listen

It’s not a real case, he’s not my boyfriend, and we aren’t partners. Three lies I told myself for survival.

After ten months of shamefully stalking and showing up randomly on Tallus’s doorstep at midnight (for reasons), the sinfully hot records clerk decided he’d had enough of my games.

In fact, he went out of his way to bring me the most ridiculous case (it was not a case) on the planet as an excuse to push me over the line (he wanted a date). Our arrangement (hooking up) didn’t suit him any longer.

Could I say no? Of course not (this was Tallus).

Five days, I told him. Five days to prove his silly theory, then we were done.

Little did I know, Tallus had a deadline of his own.

Investigating a mind-controlling-murdering psychic was hard enough (because it was not a thing), but resisting Tallus’s charm was the real challenge.

It turned out, I was wrong about a few things.

The case might be a case after all.

Tallus had potential as a partner.

And after all was said and done…I wasn’t sure I could let him go.

Toronto Police records clerk Tallus Domingo is patiently chipping away at PI Diem Krause’s defences, he’s even got a bet with his best friend that Diem will ask him out in the next month—it’s unlikely but you never know! In the meantime, Tallus thinks he’s discovered a psychic who might use mind control to cause her clients to suicide or die. Diem finds it hard to believe but humours Tallus and the two investigate in their spare time, leading to a few hair-raising situations.

I enjoyed this even more than the previous two books. Here we learn more about why Diem is so reluctant to be in a relationship or even be intimate with someone. I also found the case more intriguing. I do think the reasons for Tallus and Diem to investigate this case are flimsy, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means. 🎧 Nick J Russo sits more comfortably with both the light-voiced Tallus and the gruff Diem and I really like the incidental music on the audio, which has some classic whodunnit sounds—they make a good audiobook even better.

A solid whodunnit & a poignant developing romance!
