Publisher's summary

My name is Quinn Roberts and I was murdered.

Quinn Roberts is dead, and she wants to know how it happened. She's angry, confused, and disappointed that her life is over. Most of her friends have moved on, and it seems like no one cares who was responsible. Her adult children are in shock, but their mother's death is too painful, so they do nothing.

Soon after her murder, Quinn's husband, Alec, acquires a new wife and Quinn becomes a distant memory. Only her sister, Erin, and Detective John McQuillan continue to search for answers.

But as the case stalls, the formal investigation is moved to the Cold Case division and Quinn's family loses hope that there will ever be an arrest.

Can Quinn get the justice she deserves? And, is discovering the truth always worth it?

Heavy handed

Predictable plot. Comically evil character. The only thing missing was maniacal laughter while twirling an old timey mustache.

Glad villain was prideful

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins in the Bible. Technology and pride are what lead to the villain.

Good book

It’s a good book, lots of good twists and turns. HOWEVER lazy writing w the use of lots of unnecessary tropes. Victim: Beautiful and captivating, EVERYONE is in love w her. *eyeroll* Husband is a textbook narcissist *eyeroll* Then the supernatural connection **EYEROLL**
It’s a decent book, just roll w the tropes.

Engaging book!

First book I’ve read from this author. I loved how the story was told from the perspective of the victim. Unlike 90% of the books I’ve read, I became so involved in the main character I caught myself at times yelling (out loud) as the book progressed. It’s great from a reader’s perspective, except when you’re in the office and your colleagues think you’ve lost it. Lol.

Yes, some parts are a little predictable. However, the way in which the story is told it keeps you engaged and becoming protective and a champion for the characters. Definitely worth a read and I’m starting another book she’s written.

A great listen

I really liked this book - first read from this author. Although I did find the narrator a smidge distracting,…over-enunciated to death. Luckily the story captured me enuf & sped by easily!

I Love How the Story Was Told

I loved this book. Everything about it. Especially the way it was told. It was sad though. The characters were great. The husband was beyond evil. I was second guessing myself many times
I highly recommend!

Tried to finish

Really tried to finish this one, but just not in to divorce drama. Lost the plot at a college professor who has assault weapons in his basement.

Psychic cop out

Fiction but such a weak story addition to include a psychic with a gift. Having the dead person provide her thoughts was more than enough to stretch my imagination

Ok story - strange narration

The story was ok. The characters were demoted nicely. The narration was strange. The narrator over-pronounced many words… for example- extremely was ack-stremely. Seems minor but happened frequently enough to be annoying.

Unique Perspective

The perspective of a victim without a voice and great character development all around made this a great story!
