Publisher's summary

Someone is targeting Toledo's single women when they turn 40, tucking them into bed, and turning birthday greetings into obituaries. Newly-assigned Toledo Homicide Detective Veronica Jadzinski vows to prevent the body count from increasing and to prove her transfer from Narcotics wasn't a fluke-departmental regulations, disparaging lieutenants, and a rigid new partner be damned.

Jadz learns to trust a new partner while balancing the unwanted attentions of an almost-ex-husband, a needy widowed mother, and a drama queen sister as the detectives fight to unravel the bizarre murders. When the killer targets Jadz's sister, things get personal. Jadz must heal an old family rift to stop the murders and protect those who really matter.

This one really kept me guess (wrongly) right up to the end. Betty was such a disease. I can't. All these moms not allowing adults to be adults. Good story. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Forty & Out

I fast past, not quite cozy but not a gruesome serial killer mystery. I enjoyed both the mystery and the characters. I am looking forward to more from this author.

The narrator sounded a bit younger than I picture Jadz, but I got used to it and enjoyed the narration. Some of the male voices were a little iffy for me, but not enough for me to stop listening!
