Elizabeth was a young widow with two small children when she met Congressman Richard Baker. Handsome and wealthy, with a sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide the security that Beth and her kids were craving. But when she uncovers a dangerous secret about her new husband, Beth realizes he will go to any lengths - even murder - to keep it. After barely escaping with her life, she and her children flee. They eventually make their way to a secluded estate in the Pennsylvania countryside, where Beth dares to hope she has found a safe place at last....

Forced into retirement by an unexpected injury, Philadelphia homicide detective Jack O’Malley is mourning the loss of his career when his uncle abruptly dies, leaving Jack to dispose of his crumbling country house.

Awesome point of view

This might be the first book written in the first person that is *totally* from the first person's point of view - meaning no method or devices to "fill in the gaps." I was so confused at what was happening at first as I didn't understand how strictly the author stuck to her point of view. To that end we *never* see what is happening outside her eyesight/earshot.

So I started off frustrated. Started to understand. Really started liking it. Cried hard during one section (later in the book). Loved how it ended and how that POV worked so well!

connection with a Good over evil conspiracy.

I enjoyed this auditable ,it was a good idea to capture the listener and have them to connect with the principal theme of the story.

Pretty good but...

First Henry is the best character! Overall I enjoyed this book but I did feel there was way too many story lines going for one book. Beth, James, the husband, the killer if I didn’t pay close attention it was easy to miss something and be a little lost

The narrator is absolutely awful the story 👍🏼

The story is great!! The narrator is 199% awful!!! I wished I could have it redone by someone else!!

meh

this book was full of more pornagraphy scenes than actual story. I fast forwarded thought at least 1.5hrs of this book and was annoyed with more than that. I love mysteries but this had way more porn than mystery.

Thriller I couldn't put down

Great book that keep me wanting more at the end of each chapter. Murder, drama, mystery, and love... this book has it all!

What a thriller!!

I really enjoyed this book. It really kept you on your toes and kept you guessing. I just fell in love with Beth and her little children. The narrator did a fabulous job telling the story.

Entertaining

I enjoyed the story. The narrator's accent was oddly distracting. Predictable "twist" but still a good read.

Great Thriller

A very good book and it kept me wandering from the beginning, and I had a couple of suspicions throughout the book but towards the end of course I confirmed that it was one of the people I thought it was, but I had to suspect. I will read the next book just to keep it going because I do like the floor the books and I like happy ending story.

character development

I enjoyed the story with a couple of amusing parts involving the development of the dog's character as well.
