Publisher's summary

Evil can always find an accomplice…

Nine years ago, police found Shaye Archer wandering in the French Quarter, beaten and abused and with no memory of the previous fifteen years, not even her name. But her last case uncovered more than she ever anticipated.

She’s starting to remember.

“I’m launching an investigation,” Shaye says.

Eleonore, her friend and therapist sighs. “I figured you would.”

“I always knew my past was bad. It couldn’t have been otherwise.”

Shaye holds up the piece of paper that had sent her life into a tailspin. “But I never imagined this.”

Good story!

I have a problem with the male voices being the same. There needs to be some variances. The male voice also sounds a bit weak and sorrowful. May not get the rest of the series on audible due to this.

Fantastic Mystery Thriller

This series rocks! Shaye Archer finds herself in the most eventful circumstances and Jana DeLeon has a knack for riveting your attention on her stories. Terrific cast of characters and intriguing plot in every book!

Good but not my fav of the series

This one is as surprising as it was a struggle. There is a lot of back and forth between time to get the answers needed. I am glad this portion of the story is done and we can move on to other great stories in the series. This is not my fav of the series but it is a tricky one. Its good seeing a lot of the same characters from the last couple books.

I listened to Julie McKay narrate this one. She does a great job on this one.

Dark storyline, excellent series

Not the cozy mystery of Miss Fortune, but an excellent, suspenseful read. These stories are dark mysteries. I love this author. Shaye Archer is a dark, suspenseful series with excellent characters and mysteries. This story has Shaye's past being revealed. Characters from prior books are back. Great author, great series. I held off on reading this one because I knew it would be emotional for the main character and it was. I switched between reading and listening. The narrator is good. She is the voice of Shaye to me.

Does not disappoint

I have enjoyed the series to date and this installment is no different. The author builds on the characters and really keeps the story moving along at a quick pace. This installment give the listener a view into the monster who had Shea and how it all came about. Narration is excellent. Overall, a good listen.
