Face of Greed

The Detective Emily Hunter Mystery Series

De: James L'Etoile

Narrado por: Jessica Goldapple

Greed, corruption, and betrayal—no murder is as simple as it seems

When a prominent Sacramento businessman is killed and his wife injured in a brutal home invasion, Detective Emily Hunter and her partner, Javier Medina, are called to investigate. At first glance, it seems like a crime of opportunity gone horribly wrong, but Emily soon finds there might be more to both the crime and the dead man.

The high-stakes investigation also comes at a time when Emily is caring for her mother, who has early-onset Alzheimer's, and Emily struggles to balance her job with her personal life. The city' s political elite seem to want the case solved quickly, but darker forces want it buried.

Could there have been a motive behind the attack, making it more than a random home invasion? Emily uncovers clues that cause her to reconsider her understanding of the crime. A deadly game of greed and deception pulls Emily deeper into the shadowy world of gang violence and retribution. She has to walk the razor's edge to identify the killer—without becoming the next victim.

It was very interesting and captivating! Kept me very interested throughout the whole book!

I absolutely loved it. James is an excellent writer! Kept me captivated throughout the whole book, not letting my mind wander at all, which is usually my problem when I’m doing an audiobook lol!
Excellent read!

Great Start to a New Series!

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this story, and how the authors pass job experience shines through!
The reader did well differentiating voices, but was generally too monotone.
