About this listen

A cold-case murder, a grisly discovery, and a viper’s nest of resentment, betrayal, and dirty secrets converge in this mystery perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs and Jayne Ann Krentz.

It’s been 12 years since Sandi Parkman went missing after being dropped off at home by her schoolmate, Nick Larson, now the Sheriff of Freeport, Michigan. When a construction crew unearths Sandi’s bones - along with Nick’s letterman jacket and one of his hairs - Nick becomes suspect number one in the murder.

Dr. Emily Hartford, the daughter of Freeport’s medical examiner, is called in to investigate, but the case is about to get personal. Nick was Emily’s high school love, and now she has to either clear his name - or contend that he’s the killer. As she delves into the case, a host of other suspects emerge: a coterie of Nick’s jock friends from high school; Sandi’s sister, Tiffani, now a dancer at a local strip club; and James VanDerMuellen, a trust funder who recently returned to Freeport.

As the autumn skies darken over Freeport and the holiday season looms, Emily must sift through more than Sandi’s brittle bones to solve the case. Can she exonerate Nick - and rekindle their long-smoldering romance? The race is on to find the truth.

Wow what an improvement!! It’s been edited and is so much better then book one, a better finish also as it’s not an awful cliff hanger but a nice lead into the next book! The characters have developed nicely and it’s just so much better in many aspects then book 1! Definitely worth a read.

So much better then book 1

I liked the book and the story is good but I like more detective and investigative books. To me this was a little boring. This is more about life and feelings. I do not think I want to read the third book.

“Chick flick” rather than crime

Quite enjoyed this and the first novel. Enough intrigue to keep going to the end. I found the narrator ÷easy to listen to surprisingly as I don't like many American voices. Even though guessed the perpetrator ahead of]⁰⁰ the story the whys hows and whens made it worth following to the end. Felt the characterisations quite well developed.. generally easy to connect with them. All in all worth a listen If looking for a light novel

Gutsy enough to keep me hooked
