Publisher's summary

A gripping new novel from best-selling author J. D. Mason about a wealthy Texas family and the one woman who holds - and will reveal - all their dirty secrets.

Desdimona Green has been the name on everyone’s lips in Blink, Texas. Twenty-five years ago, at the age of 18, she shot and killed one of Blink’s wealthiest men, a pillar of the community, oil baron Julian Gatewood. The Gatewood family was considered untouchable, so the whole state of Texas was rocked to its core over Julian’s murder. But people were even more shocked to discover that Desi was Julian’s daughter and that her mother had been his lover for years.

When Desi gets out of jail and promptly inherits millions from Julian’s estate, everyone knows that there is much more to the story - and Desi Green is the keeper of the Gatewood secrets, including what happened the night Julian died. When a famous true-crime reporter shows up on her doorstep wanting the full story, Desi agrees to reveal all, much to the horror of the Gatewoods, who will do anything to stop her. But Desi has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.

Critic reviews

“[J. D. Mason’s] portrayals of her characters and their innermost thoughts bring the readers right into the emotional center of the story. Those who enjoy Carl Weber and Eric Jerome Dickey will add Mason to their list of favorites.” ( Booklist)

Good Listen

Finished this book very quickly. Easy and enjoyable listen. The narrator pronounced many words incorrectly. Overall though, enjoyed the book.

Great read!! Very

This book was a great read had me at the end of my seat. storyline wonderful.

Don’t you hate it when life gets in the way?

Books like this make doing things like having to get up for work, cook food, and take care of your children annoying. Just let me be!! All I need is this book a cozy corner and total silence. That way I could continue to view each “scene” the author depicted. The details, the occasional sound effect, and THE DRAMA were all on point. This is a movie script! I mean a real movie not TUBI or even Lifetime. This maybe a Tyler Perry Production but it would require “good wigs”.

BRAVO!!!

This was outstanding one chapter after the next. The storyline unfolded the answer to mysteries that were thought to have already been solved. The twists turns and secrets revealed had me talking to the narrator who did an excellent job.
I recommend this one to everyone.

Kudos to J.D. Mason

My new favorite author is J.D. Mason, excellent story. The reader must pay attention or you may mix up the characters or miss something.

I loved it!

This was an awesome read. kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Great story!

great listen

I love being intrigued... I loved the way it all came together like a movie.

Where’s the rest

At first it was hard to follow the story; no offense to the narrator but all of the characters sounded the same. No real tone difference. Mid-way I really started to her in the story just to have an incomplete ending IMO. What happened to Gatewood?

Great story

This book should be made into a movie. I can see Lynn Whitfield as Jordan’s mother. I really enjoyed this story.

The sins of the Rich

The young lady in the book was wronged by pedophiles, crooked public officials and greedy everyday people. The book is so good and I will not spoil it for you but you need to read or listen to on audible
