About this listen

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting psychological thriller in which two women—one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist—go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse.

Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.

When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion and discovers a dead body in a secret room—and nothing is as it seems.

Not only does the arms dealer not exist, but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye.

In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation—and now her job is on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

The story was far fetched and too long- kept hoping it would end, and the male acting voice was unbelievable and irritating.

enjoyed the Memory Man series but this was disappointing. hard to get into any of the characters as the plot was too contrived.

not up to expectations for this author

Didn’t really get too interested in the characters. Parts of the book just don’t seem realistic. Hope we don’t see these characters make a return

Hard to get too interested in the characters

Have greatly enjoyed previous books by Baldacchi. This one captures the complexity of humans across many life experiences. Perhaps it would be more enjoyable in hard copy, as it felt lengthy. The audiobook pattern of using “He said”, “She said” became tedious over time.

Perhaps easier to follow as a hard copy
