Story
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

But as I cradle my gorgeous baby, I have to accept that the husband who used to be my everything has changed.

Now, he controls every aspect of my life: from how much money I have, to when I leave the house, and who I can see. I know deep down, only one of us will make it out of this marriage alive.

Law student Rachel North will tell you, without hesitation, what she knows to be true. She's smart, she’s a hard worker, she does the right thing, she’s successfully married to a faithful and devoted husband, a lion of Boston's defense bar, and her internship with the Boston DA's office is her ticket to a successful future.
Problem is she’s wrong. And in this cat-and-mouse game - the battle for justice becomes a battle for survival.

Why the low ratings?
As of this writing there are three ratings. One person rated this five stars and two people have rated it one star. I’m not sure why but I’m happy to say I am giving this book a five star review.
The book begins slowly as the characters are developed. Once established the story picks up momentum about the half way point. It vacillates between past and present until the two collide. The publisher’s summary gives enough information that I don’t want to elaborate on the characters. The plot though is very interesting. This is a legal thriller not a court room drama. You’re really not sure who the murderer is until the end and then it’s a bit of a shock. The epilogue is rather weird but fitting.
Angela Dawe does a great job narrating.
I really enjoyed this book and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Ryan's best book yet
Wowie wow wow! This was a GREAT thriller. So many triangles. So many twists and turns. Nearly every chapter ended with a new shocker. I couldn't put it down.
My only question about the feasibility of this novel's premise is: Would a public prosecutor turn private detective on the cases she works on? Would she show up at the crime scene with the police or before the police? Would she write her own search warrants and interview subjects on her own in their homes? I wouldn't have thought so, but this one definitely does.
Best of all, Ryan keeps it all clean. No sex. No bad language. Lots of excitement!
Angela Dawe did a great job with all of the characters, and although the timeline flips around a bit, her narration kept me sharp to the time.

Writing and narration - good, storyline not for me
I'm conflicted about this audiobook. The narration was good and the technical aspects of the writing were good, but I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I didn't like them. And, I really didn't like the ending. The author created subplots that I thought were pertinent to the story and they were left dangling. I think, in retrospect, they were used just to throw the reader off-kilter.

Exercise in manipulation
The main characters in this story are constantly pulling the reader in opposing directions. They guide you and confuse you. It’s a rollercoaster who’s end comes slamming you out of your seat. Enjoy the ride!

Waste of time
This is awful, utter drivel, ridiculous nonsense. People do not behave this way. The story is so disjointed, moving back and forth in time, and moving between different cases. It is very confusing and feels gimmicky and unnecessary. The author really does the reader a disservice. There is just too much going on, it's a mess. I also did not care for the narration. Some of the female voices were very grating.

padded with redundant self centered obsession
it is impossible to care about what happens to these self centered characters after reading their repetitive obsessive reflections and redundant manipulative thoughts. in the first 30minutes the main character tells us no less than five times that she is married to another character.

Excellent Plot If You Stick With It
The plot and ending are fabulous! You can see why the mystery coming together as it does has resulted in Ryan's multiple award nominations. And Ryan always writes about Boston elegantly. The narrator did a good job, especially as harsh and ambitious DA Martha Gardener. I could not give this 5 stars though, because I walked away from this in the middle for a month. I read another book before retuning. I almost missed the stellar second half, because the characters felt a little generic. I don't mind an unlikable character, but I felt like I couldn't feel the core of any of them. I can now see the challengers the plot created for characterization, and damn do you know them in the end. So stick with it.

Venomous Attitude
I love narrator Ms Dawe and she does a superb job on this story. I do use the great 1.2 speed. Give it a try.
Shelly loved this book so l took a chance on the author. Well crafted story and a complete surprise ending but the cadence of the story was not one l want to re listen and l certainly did not want to listen straight through, hence my title. Not a good sign. From this story, l can tell you, l would not want to be judged by my so called peers! Maybe the timing of this listen 7-25-2020, year of Covid 19 self imposed lockdown, is my issue. I find sometimes a second listen makes some improvement for the narrator but if l don’t like the author style, nothing compiles me to even try a second listen!
I am not compiled to seek more of this author’s work unless narrated by ms Dawe. Since she does an excellent job on this story , l will give this story a 2nd chance in a happier time.
If you are a fan of this author, then this is an excellent crafted story. Author developers the characters over a period of flashbacks. So if your patience likes that type of development, this is excellent!
