Publisher's summary

Assistant District Attorney Lettie Portman charges a US senator with the murder of his wife.

The wife was found dead, sitting in her Mercedes with a garden hose from the exhaust into her window. Suicide? Maybe, except the detectives learn the wife's fingerprints are nowhere on the hose. She appears to reach from the grave and point an accusing finger at her husband. And there's another twist: The senator's million-dollar lawyer is involved in a deadly conspiracy against Lettie.

Lettie is hard at work on the case when she finds Detective Tony Reedy won't give up on her. She's been injured before when she lost her childhood. But she wants to love again and she asks him to wait. He reaches out, but will he be able to touch her?

A few things bugged me…

First, I liked the book and I’m a new fan of this author. Everything moves along quickly and entertainingly. I have issues with the lack of continuity and tying up loose ends from the first book. What happened to her husband in such a short period of time? Didn’t her brother die in the first book or is this a new brother? Why didn’t the sperm evidence blow his story out of the water? Did I miss something?? For a cop, it’s all in the details and these details were left unexplained and leave this reader wanting answers.

Ridiculous narration

This is a good story, but the lady narrator's attempts to sound like a man are ridiculous and distracting. It takes away from the overall story and performance. This is one that I will listen to only once.

Interesting legal thriller.

Good characters & story. I enjoy listening to legal books, as I don't have much experience I that.

Worth your time

This was a second book in a series. I liked the book and really like the writers way of telling the story. For those of you that read the first book, be aware that there is a story change with the characters that I found disturbing. I had to try to forget the details of first book to truly enjoy this one. Once I got over this it was good. But a part of me was never truly over it. That is the reason for the 4 star.

Of course Therese Plummer is always a great narrator.

Just what I was looking for

I read book 1 and when I stumbled across book 2 I knew it would be just as good. I wasn’t wrong. I enjoy legal mysteries but it seems like very few actually have much actual courtroom action. This one did. The author tied what happened to Lettie both personally and professionally and resolved it in the courtroom. I really enjoyed this book. I hope he writes book 3.
