Publisher's summary

This steamy thriller is a New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly best-seller.

Caitlyn Montgomery Bandeaux wakes one morning drenched in blood, her head pounding mercilessly. Worst of all, she can't remember what happened the night before - when her estranged husband was murdered. Now the police want answers. Tormented, Caitlyn turns to her sister for support and is warned not to talk to the handsome new psychologist in town. But she soon realizes he's the only person she's comfortable confiding in.

Did not like the narrator

The narrator read to fast didn’t give time to absorb the season before moving on

Perfect Suspense!

What a trip with this book. So many twists and turns and just when you think you’ve figured out who the killer is, it switches up on you.

Great Suspense!

Excellent plot with twists and turns. Couldn't figure out the ending, until the end! Very enjoyable.

Oh, God!

I REALLY loved the plot of this book. Loved the twists and turns, the suspense. Everything EXCEPT the main character. I know after finishing the book that she was portrayed as being so weak for a reason, but omg did she make me want to slap her. Between that and the overdone use of her phrase “Oh God”, I had to knock a star of this book. I’d be all into it and then she’d “Oh God” and all I’d feel is rage. 😆

The Night Before

Decent story, maybe a little predictable at times. Although the performance was spot on, I think I might have enjoyed reading it rather than listening to it

Horrible narration

Good story with lots of suspense, but the narration was horrible. Too clipped and precise. For a story set in the South, Savanah no less, there was not a hint of a southern drawl. There was not any real emotion stirred by the performance. Listening to a good narrator is like seeing a great movie in my head. This was definitely not a blockbuster.

Who done it?

Although slightly long this mystery thriller was worth the time! Great characters and no clue about the killer up until the very end. Always my favorite kind of story when the romance sizzles along with the investigation.

I stopped listening. I tried many times to get into the story but it was too slow and I didn't like the narration. I gave up.
