About this listen
The law is the law until someone comes after your family.
From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island town in the Pacific Northwest.
On the eve of Police Chief Mark Friessen’s wedding, a fierce snowstorm blankets the island, knocking out power, and the body of a woman is discovered in the church. The only clue is the note in her hand, a list of names - all members of Mark’s family.
Mark Friessen has been counting down the days to his wedding to Billy Jo McCabe. Yet only days from Christmas, after their families arrive, a freak blizzard comes out of nowhere and knocks out power on the entire island.
With the island in an emergency and the ferry shut down, no help is arriving anytime soon from the mainland. Mark receives a call to stop into the church where he and Billy Jo are planning on being married the next day, but there he stumbles upon the body of a woman. The only evidence is a note she’s clutching. At the top, in all bold, is the word KILL, and listed below are the names of everyone he loves, including Billy Jo, his parents, his brothers, their wives, and his two nieces.
With access to the outside world cut off, Mark finds himself up against an invisible enemy who he believes is coming after his unsuspecting family. But Mark has no idea who it is. Where is the killer hiding on the island, why isn’t Mark’s name on the list, and who is the dead woman? Mark is determined to find the killer and protect his family, whatever it takes...even if it’s his last stand.

good read
I liked the story, the mystery and the chemistry between the family members was sweet and interesting.
This is not the first book in the series, and I didn't have a chance to read the previous ones (would love to). This fact did not take anything from my enjoyment of the book.
The narrator did a good job.

Story
Mark and Billy Jo
There is a lot going on in Roche Harbor and things continue to be uncovered. Mark and Billy Jo are ready to say “I do” but things are quickly takin a turn in every direction imaginable. The weather is getting pretty bad and they may have to change things up but little to their imagination, things are going to get worse before it gets better.
Mark is a determined police chief and takes his job seriously. He had been hit with so many things in past jobs and this jobs but finding a woman deceased on the day of his wedding was not what he was wishing for. Finding names that are close to him on a list puts him in action and things start to come out.
Billy Jo is dealing with things happening with social workers and things happening to children in her town. She has sorting through children who may or may not need assistance, dead bodies, first responders and coworkers who seem a little suspicious.
This story is very mysterious with a lot of twists and turns. Can Mark and Billy Jo get to the bottom of the many things going on? Are there more people involved that we couldn’t put a finger on?

Gripping read!
This is a first time read for me by this author and I was totally floored. I actually got this as an audiobook, and the narrator really did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life, as did the author with the great storytelling. The was a tough one to get through, because of the subject matter. But the enthralling mystery had me glued and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. A gripping page-turner that I couldn't stop listening to. I enjoyed the story and hope to read more by this author soon.

Another Great Addition to the Series
This eighth installment of the Billy Jo McCabe Mystery series kept my attention with the well written and entertaining story line and character work. Leo Jones did a fantastic job of breathing life into this story and making this as enjoyable to listen to as it was to read.
