"This is a character-driven thriller with complicated romances and family interactions. All protagonists are flawed but very likable. Just what I needed to take my mind off other events in my life."
— Academicsupport (4 out of 5 stars)
“[This] romantic-suspense novel...doesn’t disappoint.”
— Dallas Morning News“[An] entertaining...thriller.”
— Publishers Weekly“Narrator Victor Slezak does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. He approaches one of the key characters, tough-talking, tough-living Atlanta investigator Dodge Handley, with particular relish. Slezak successfully portrays the female characters as well, using a more gentle reading style. Given the substantial portion of romance in the story, Slezak’s ability to switch seamlessly between the pursuit of an unstable killer and the romantic plotlines helps to ensure a credible listen.”
