Great plot, great storyline

I love the story! Very good plot with a twist. Narrated needs some work. Lots of monotone but the story is so good I withstood it.

Strong female lead

The story was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat! The characters were believable

Just OK

Cass is back in her hometown after leaving a high-paying Chicago job for mysterious reasons - nothing to do with the plot but some of the back-story is explained.
Cass's family has a bad reputation in the town, with her dad and at least one brother being alcoholics. The town hero / football coach is murdered and a young woman with a similar family background to Cass's is charged with the crime. Cass not only takes the case but takes a personal interest in the client and her family, which becomes pretty hard to do because they are resistant and hiding information.
Cass has to use her knowledge of the town and her contacts - new and old - to defend her client.

It's an OK book - not much substance. I may continue the series if I find them on sale.

Great story narrator terrible

I liked the story a lot but it was read by someone who sounded like a computer or it was a computer not sure

Great story, narrator voice is robotic

I thought the story was well done never would have guessed who the real murderer was. Nicely done. I'm not sure if it was the narrator or the way it was recorded but she sounded robotic which was grating to the ears.

Ok but not great

The voices were irritating and ruined narrative for me. Story was fine might have enjoyed reading it better

Thoroughly Enjoyed!

Fantastic story ... believable and conflicted characters and wonderful narrator. I have already downloaded the next one in the series!

Interesting Story Line Relatable to Small Town Living

I liked the main Character and found it interesting to learn more about her experience as a young person growing up in the town she had now returned to. The revelations about she and her family and their standing in the community, while secondary to the main plot, added an intriguing dimension to the story.
I found the story line believable for small town living and I was still curious, up until the last minute, about who the guilty party was.
An Enjoyable Listen

Entertaining but Somewhat Predictable

I enjoyed the story and the narration. That the story was about a sexual predator was obvious long before it was ultimately revealed. The tension in the plot never quite built up enough to be extremely engaging. Still, it was an enjoyable listen.
