Resumen del Editor

An instant New York Times best seller

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Banker's Wife, worlds collide when an FBI agent investigates a string of grisly murders on Long Island that raises the impossible question: What happens when the primary suspect is your father?

FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in 10 years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. And Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, Marisol, who was murdered when Nell was just seven.

When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect - and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mother's murder - and her own role in exonerating her father in that case - Nell can't help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why. But she may not like the answers she finds - not just about those she loves, but about herself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

One of:
Bustle's "Perfect Vacation Read[s]" and a Beach Read Pick
PopSugar's "Best New Books to Put in Your Beach Bag This Summer"
PureWow's "Best Beach Reads of Summer 2019"
Crime Reads's "Most Anticipated Crime Books of Summer"

"[Nell] has a vulnerable, empathetic core that will pull readers in, and Alger has a feel for small-town dynamics.... The tension becomes nearly unbearable as Nell realizes she truly can't trust anyone. Readers can expect a few genuine surprises, and the light Alger shines on society's most vulnerable members is an important one. Melancholy and addictive." (Kirkus Reviews)

"[An] excellent crime novel...[Alger] captures the social dynamics of Suffolk's eastern extremes perfectly. The first-person narrative is appropriately terse - Nell delivers a thorough report - but it occasionally surprises with a gripping depth....Highly recommended." (Booklist, starred review)

Great Read!

This was a good easy listen, kept my interest the whole time. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a who done it. It is also a fun “cop” book. I figured it out but at least not till the end so it wasn’t a typical mystery where you know at first read who the killer is.

great book!

I really enjoyed this book! it isn't super intense but is enjoyable and develops the main characters well. I would actually love it if a sequel was written to this book!

Decent

Not my normal listen, but took a chance and enjoyed listening. Will look into some her other books

Good Story

Great book good story, Reccomend for all mystery enthusiasts. Main character seems understated through story. Interesting.

Banker's Wife was Better (IMO)

Didn't love this one. It wasn't bad, just not as (IMO) as engaging as The Banker's Wife. Lots of rich vs poor issues, which can be a bit of a drag. Fairly sad too, didn't have a feel-good vibe overall. If you like a mystery that is a little bit darker, you might like this one. The suspense is well done.

Easy read

Good story. Decent twist. Didn’t hold me like some do. I like this genre but I like girl forgotten better.

Great book!

Fantastic story and narration. It is a page turner that holds your attention and is full of suspense.

highly recommended

Surprising! I couldn't wait to hear more. I will definitely read more Cristina Alger books.

Amazing

Loved the story, the way it explained the feelings of the characters. Could not put it down

Intriguing story

Well developed plot, tied the ends logically, good twists & turns. Wonder if this was inspired by real life.
