Publisher's Summary

Dallas Homicide detectives Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy investigate the murder of a Catholic priest who is found naked and strangled to death. A sex scandal threatens to erupt and cover-ups are soon revealed as their only suspect is found shot dead - mere hours after the murder.  

Soon details of the murder begin to surface, and the secret life of a well-loved priest is exposed. Lies and deceptions unfold as the detectives work to solve the case - even as their superiors demand it be closed.

You Had Me at ABBY CRADEN!

I love audiobooks. I love Gerri Hill's audiobooks. I, of course, loved this new Gerri Hill audiobook and it's just sweeter having the best narrator to tell us the story. Once there was an amazing book titled, "Hunter's Way". In this book, Hunter and Sam are back to investigate a murder mystery of a dead priest. you don't need to know anything about the first Hunter book to listen and instantly love this book. Even though I said how great this audiobook was, my favorite Gerri Hill books on audible are " the Secret Pond", "seventeen", and... "Hunter's Way" for anyone looking for a great suggestion.

Love Gerri Hill and Abby Craden paired!

I've read this series quite a few times but it was nice to listen and gain the experience that way. The audio book did not disappoint and I look forward to them producing the rest!!

Excellent.

I had already read the book. But that did not detract from the quality and suspense of the audio. Abby Craden does her usual wonderful job with the narration.

The ending was disappointing

I liked the characters and thought the mystery was quite gripping, everything was good entil the ending. I felt it was very unsatisfactory.
**spoilers***
The "mystery" was never fully solved, there's no evidence why the given solution is actually the truth. why should we believe what one character said? because the main character thinks it is true? it also leaves a lot of loose ends still untied.
What erk me the most was one of the main mysteries - who the priest had consensual sex with right before his death - was never resolved. yes he had a lover, but that lover left a few days before his death?
Please write a sequel to this and completely 180 the story. I would love to read that.

Love Gerri Hill’s books!

I have many copies of Gerri Hill’s books. I especially love the ones narrated by Abby Craden. She does a wonderful job of bringing life to the characters.

Please ma’am, may we have some more....

Much too short and leave NO ending.

Overall Gerri Hill books range from fair to great, but this book was the exception. Abby Craden narrated the story which was the saving grace to this whole thing. The book was 2 in a series and was was short and on text and on clues. It was not what I came to expect from Craden books, especially since this was book 2 in a 5 book series. Book 1 was superb and I expected the books in this series to to be nothing like her other work to be excellent. I’ve read a lot of Hill’s solo books, non of them were books as book great as book 1 and only a few of my expectations expectations were set high. They should not have been. Hopefully books 3 to 5 are much better, plus I still have a few unread books (not related to the this series this book was part of) to still get to. So I can’t complain about all the books this author wrote, it’s been very hit and miss. Definitely read book 1 of this series the rest her books will have to go by go by reading the dust covers to choose the best Hill books based on the books.

Fantastic

Once again Gerri Hill gave us a great novel, and Abby Craden does a remarkable job with her narration as always. I felt the story a little rush in some places, details skipped over, I got lost in the last few chapters trying to figure out when what was happening and to whom. At one point with little warning or description the pov switches, I was totally lost. Otherwise a great installment that has me eager to continue the series.
