Kira’s back in her affluent hometown for the first time in years and determined to unravel the secrets of her mother’s death—hidden in the unpublished memoir she left behind—even if it kills her. . .from the bestselling author of The Hunting Wives.

After her troublemaker mother’s mysterious death, Kira fled her wealthy Texas town and never looked back. Now, decades later, Kira is invited to an old frenemy’s vow renewal celebration. Though she is reluctant to go, there are things pulling her home . . . like chilled wine and days spent by the pool . . . like sexy Jack, her childhood crush. But more important are the urgent texts from her grandmother, who says she has something for Kira. Something related to her mother’s death, something that makes it look an awful lot like murder.

When her grandmother gives Kira a memoir that her mother had been working on before she died, Kira is drawn into the past and all the sizzling secrets that come along with it. With few allies left in her gossipy country-club town, Kira turns to Jack for help. As she gets closer to discovering what—and who—might have brought about her mother’s end, it becomes clear that someone wants the past to stay buried.

And they might come after Kira next.

May Cobb is on fire!

Performance was great, story was just long

Amanda Stribling did a fantastic job with so many characters. I’ll always listen to her.

Great book! I'm a fan of all May Cobb's work.

Loved it. The East Texas setting plus the interesting, suspenseful storyline = perfection. Looking forward to the next book by May Cobb.

Very Slow Going & Predictable

I had a difficult time getting into this book at first. The writing is very slow going. Once things start rolling along I finally found new ground for listening even though it was predictable. May it would have been better read the physical book?

Very enjoyable

Great narration, easy to follow and a suspenseful plot that flowed nicely. I really enjoyed this book.
