About this ebook

“Outstanding plot, unique twists and turns, and the writing style is superb…Highly recommend for crime and mystery fans.” —Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She could feel her life draining from her body, but there was nothing she could do except wait until it was all over…and for the darkness to descend upon her.

The brutal murder of Claire Reeves, a successful entrepreneur, darkens Christmas Eve for Detective Madison Knight, who is assigned the case. Claire was found stabbed in her home, and her intimate attire would suggest her killer was someone close to her, but Madison knows things aren’t always as they appear.

As Madison investigates, the lies and secrets pile up and reveal a long list of people who aren’t shedding any tears that Claire’s dead. Friends, lovers, and former business partners—they’re all suspects. After all, Claire’s love was money, and she thought nothing of betraying even those closest to her. No one can be trusted, but if there’s going to be justice, Madison will need to determine who had the most motive to pull off the crime. But just when Madison thinks she’s getting closer to finding the truth, there’s a deadly twist she never saw coming.

An absolutely gripping mystery thriller. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine, and Robert Dugoni.

Ratings and reviews

A bit disappointed, too much focus on the relationships and not enough on s olving the crime. A bit fluffy for my taste.

Good book... kept me interested and wanting to keep reading... twist and turns throughout whole book... excellent ending ... on to book 3!

Fantastic. I just love this series! They show the intellect and humanness of the lead detectives. The plots are well thought out and captivating. Look forward to the rest in this series.
