Publisher's summary

Victoria’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems. But with two homicide detectives on her doorstep, it's about to get a lot worse. Still reeling from the shocking discovery that her husband is having an affair, Victoria struggles to process the mind-blowing news that Nick’s lover is dead—murdered in cold blood on the very same evening she uncovered the truth. And now two detectives are on her doorstep, waiting to question both of them. Is she a suspect?

With little hard evidence and no shortage of suspects with "killer motives", Detectives Jack Stark and Lexi Sanchez are under intense pressure to solve the high-profile murder case that rocks the picturesque village of Tarrytown just as the town is gearing up for the area’s annual Halloween festivities and an influx of tourists. As Victoria sets out to clear herself and find out the truth, she’s faced with two terrifying possibilities—either her husband is a murderer or someone is out to get them. Conflicted and emotionally raw, she sets out to find the truth about what happened that night. But does she really want to know?

Deadliest Secrets

Killer Motives brings historical beliefs of the area to the forefront. Nick and Victoria Mancusio, married, planned to have a family. The secrets they’ve not shared throughout their marriage place an invisible wedge between them. When Angie, Nick’s real estate client, is murdered, the secrets power out as if someone opened Pandora’s box. Partial truths and omissions make identifying the killer suspenseful as listeners dive down the possibilities only to find something is missing.

Ms. Traymore knows how to create unique characters. The descriptions of the places bring into sharp focus vivid pictures in the listener's mind. The non-stop action and suspense are outstanding. Nick and Victoria are painted with different brushes, yet they complement one another. Nick admits to having a fling and swears the woman threw herself at him. Victoria's trust is destroyed, yet she loves him. She doesn’t believe he’s a murderer and sets out to help prove her point. They are likable and relatable individuals. Jack Stark and Lexi Sanchez are a perfectly matched pair of detectives. Both moved from the city to the smaller town and are adjusting. To a degree, Jack is mentoring Lexi. The development of these characters during the story shows their depth and makes them more likable. They’re the quintessential pair to bring different perspectives to cases, frequently with some delightful dialogue banter.

The voice of Robin McAlpine is perfect for this mystery. The narration portion has perfect emphasis to maintain the tension. The dialogue voices never miss a beat in conveying who is speaking. The story moves along at a can’t stop listening speed. There were no issues with the quality of the audiobook.

Masterful Thriller

Relentless twists and turns keep the reader focused and reading. Great writing and suspense. Who killed her husband’s paramour? And why? The pursuit of facts leads Victoria into a reality she would like to avoid. Great detective team.
