Publisher's summary

In New York Times best-selling author Jeff Abbott’s latest novel of riveting psychological suspense, an uneasy alliance forms as two widows delve into their husbands’ deadly and dangerous secrets - as they try to protect their own.

Henry North is a down-on-his-luck cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Adam Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin’s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn’t know each other. They had never met. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being.

When Henry doesn’t return from a business trip, his wife, Kirsten, panics - and then gets an anonymous phone call: “Your husband is dead in Austin.”

Flora Zhang knew her husband was keeping secrets. She suspected an affair, but she had decided she could forgive him for his weakness - until her husband ended up dead. And with no explanation for her husband’s murder, the police begin to suspect her.

Together, these two widows will face a powerful foe determined to write a false narrative about the murders. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the women the world thought they were.

Oh so twisty !!

I really enjoyed this book... It is a solid 'who done it' that keeps you guessing. I loved the variety of characters and the narration. If anything, it may have been almost too twisty, but well worth the listen!

Kept me guessing

I enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing all the way. The narrator was comfortable to listen to.
I had some problem with following the names and characters, even the main characters. I had to concentrate a lot to keep track of who was who, a problem I don't usually have. I have been sick while listening to it, so that could have had an impact, but..

GOOD STORY

I enjoyed this book! Highly suspenseful and certainly keeps one guessing. There were times I had to listen carefully to keep up with the plot. It was always hard to know who to hate. The narrator was great for this story.

Good Book

I liked the story. I thought the characters could have had more depth. Also, I had figured out most of the twists before the reveal. But, it was a compelling story.

Last hour not recorded

I was enjoying this book until the last hour when the book stops. There is an hour and 12 minutes at the end which isn’t recorded thus no ending! Save the credit or buy the book.

So good!

I usually figure out the twists and turns of most mysteries long before the end…. Not this one. This one captivated me so I had to listen to it nonstop to the end.

Good book. Enjoyed this one a lot. Not sure if Jeff Abbott books are my usual style, this is my first, but this one is very good.
