Great read

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Nice to read a mystery/thriller at this time of the year.

Didn’t hold my attention.

Story was fragmented, couldn’t hold my attention. I stopped listening to the story less than halfway through.

Riveting, a true winner!

Duplicitous… A desperate husband… A cheating wife… A missing child… What starts out as a “routine” case quickly becomes so much more … As Detectives Brady and Raynes delve deeper into the case, aided by an unexpected ally, bodies start to pile up and the case takes on sinister, international implications! Jam packed with espionage, action and more betrayals than firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, “Duplicitous” is a fast paced mystery thriller that had me completely engaged! Extremely well plotted with highly defined, diverse characters that grew and changed as the plot twisted and turned, I was constantly on edge, waiting, wondering what the next developments would bring! I felt so bad for Nathan as he desperately tried to find out what was going on with his wife, and if his daughter was alive and safe. I felt his desperation! I felt the frustration of the detectives, and all who were charged with the investigation. I felt the tension! I felt their pain and rage as losses occurred, and their bittersweet joy at the resolution. I cringed at some of the very realistic portrayals of the world of espionage, so very necessary to making this plot work, which it did magnificently! I loved some of the characters, loathe a few, but had strong feelings about ALL! Each character was fully developed, their personality complete, their backstory presented and interwoven into the story in a way that enhanced the story! I can’t say enough about this brilliant writing! This story, THIS story, is a wild ride through a constantly changing world of police procedure, espionage, human emotion, greed and revenge! I was invested every single second! The author’s vision was vibrantly brought to life through clear, beautifully paced, emotionally satisfying narration, making this production a five star listen across the board. It was truly stunning! I loved it!
