Publisher's Summary

You have two days to kill her, or you will be the next to die….

A week ago the body of a young woman named Mia Gallagher was found in an elevator shaft, 48 hours after she was snatched from her apartment in Lakemore, Washington.

When a local man confesses to her killing in his suicide note, the police department believe the case is closed. But then another woman goes missing, and 48 hours later is found dead. Detective Mackenzie Price is convinced their deaths are connected. Then she finds a letter in the supposed murderer’s house and realizes the sickening truth: the victims are all part of a sinister game, and more lives are at stake.

Someone wants these women dead — but isn’t killing them. Instead they are blackmailing others to do their dirty work: Become a murderer, or be the next to die.

When a third woman goes missing, Mack and her partner Detective Nick Blackwood know they have just 48 hours to find her alive. Only by hunting down the blackmailer, who’s masterminding this twisted game, will they be able to stop the killings.

But the blackmailer will go to any lengths to get away with murder, and now no one connected to the case is safe. Including Mack. She has spent years healing from her troubled past, learning to open her heart again but — as one of the people closest to her is sucked into the game — could she be about to lose another person she loves?

A pulse-pounding thriller packed with twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Karin Slaughter and Angela Marsons.

Listeners can’t get enough of Ruhi Choudhary:

“Wow, wow just wow!… Had me hook, line and sinker from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat as well as up at night.... Completely left me speechless and sitting there with my mouth hanging open.... Cliffhanger much!” (Bookworm 86)

“Started with a bang, ended with a bang!… Loved it!… Kept me captivated from page one… I wasn’t able to put down the book. I just yearned for more and more. Sadly, even this book had to end, but kaboom, what an ending!” (Tove Reads, 5 stars)

“A rollercoaster of emotions, a thrilling and gripping story that kept me on the edge… Heartbreaking at times but always highly entertaining.” (Scrapping & Playing, 5 stars)

Boring

The story is stagnant! Doesn’t keep your attention so my mind wandered. Was hard to get through.

Great series

I enjoy this series although I do feel like the cases conveniently get wrapped up at the end of each book. I'm curious to see if the writer will incorporate a love interest for the leading lady...like her partner or Austin. The narration is good too.

A good listen

The story was good but slow moving at first. The difference in voices was hard to distinguish at times.

Just ok

It truly was not horrible but definitely not great. So in my world that equals just ok.
