What harm can one small lie do?

Forced to give up her career as a dentist, and still unemployed a year later, Valentina Knight has finally run out of options. With foreclosure looming she acts in desperation, lying to get a position as an assistant to the county medical examiner. Val's relieved. She won't be homeless. But Val didn't count on the lie trapping her in a dangerous game with a killer.

Val quickly becomes involved in the case of Francine Donohue, who disappeared from her neighborhood and is discovered dead six months later. The bizarre circumstances surrounding the murder are not the first of their kind. With the evidence pointing to a serial killer, and a calling card Val understands, she quickly gets sucked into the case.

As Val is pulled in further, the situation takes a darker turn. Someone is aware of the lie she told. Someone who is prepared to kill...

This was really good! I can’t believe it’s so far down in the plus library and that more people haven’t read it! I don’t usually write reviews but this one definitely deserves it!

Surprised

Started out ok but got confusing really quickly. Too much internal dialog not enough action to keep my attention.

Too many characters to follow

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
the heroic acts of Val in the last chapter seem an insult to readers intellect. very weak closure.

disappointing ending.

Clever plot

This is a book that I am glad I got for free. The killer was obvious to me for a long time and Val just isn’t very likable as a lead character. Started off strong and then just fell flat. Good for background noise and not the worst book, just not worth paying for.

Narration is good

Very interesting. I listen to a lot of books regarding murder. I love your in this book they're not working with the typical evidence. Nor is it the cops who are really working to solve the crime. Yes, they are involved, peripherally almost. Idk keep you guessing until the end

Not your typical murder

This audiobook kept me wanting to know more. The twists and ending were great. I hope there will be a 2nd book. I love the main character and British guy :)

Gripping!

Tolerated the narration to finish the story. Interesting characters, plot and twists.
It was difficult to distinguish even the female character voices from one another and only one male character’s voice was identifiable.
The book is well-worth reading in hard copy.

Audio version doesn’t do justice to the story.

Captivating
