Killjoy

Buchanan-Renard-MacKenna, Book 3

De: Julie Garwood

Narrado por: Joyce Bean

Avery Delaney has tried to put the past far behind her. Abandoned by her rapacious, conniving mother when she was only three days old, Avery was raised by her grandmother and beloved aunt Carolyn.

Then, when she was 10, she saw her grandmother murdered in cold blood, before Avery herself was shot and left for dead. Miraculously, she survived. The killer was soon caught, convicted, and is currently serving a life sentence in Florida. This traumatic experience propels Avery into a life of law and order.

Her razor-sharp mind and ability to gather data and decipher evidence has made Avery an expert crime analyst for the FBI. But soon she will have to use every one of her skills on a case that hits painfully close to home.

Avery's workaholic aunt, Carolyn Salvetti, is certain her (soon-to-be ex) husband sent her the gold embossed reservation to the posh Utopia Spa in the mountains of Colorado. At first she is resistant, but then she figures it will be a welcome respite from the cutthroat advertising business, not to mention a networking extravaganza. Plus she persuades her niece to join her for the two weeks of luxury and decadence.

But Carolyn never makes it to Utopia. Under false pretenses, she is taken to an isolated retreat by a handsome stranger with a dazzling smile, suave demeanor, and the darkest of motives. His name is Monk, a hired assassin. Now, with scant clues and fewer resources, Avery must track down and save Carolyn - and outmaneuver a brilliant killer who is part of an elaborate plot of madness and lethal vengeance.

wonderful

this is one of my favorites. nice story loved the characters and plot. also loved the villains.

Ending

Good story but not my favorite. I was disappointed in the ending. It just kind of threw in a summary. It felt like the author was tired of it

Lovely entrancing story

Lovely entrancing story with a lot edge of your seat scenarios along with great love story.

close circle

I love this series. Aunt Carrie and Big Daddy Jake should be each other's second chance love

Julie Garwood Hooked me in again.

I was pulled into the book and couldn't stop listening. this was the 3rd book in the series and I really enjoyed it. it has murder, kidnapping and thriller moments like the other two. You will meet up again with Monk, John Paul, and Noah again as well as new main characters.

If you enjoyed the first two books, I definitely recommend book 3!
