About this listen

I assumed the worst I’d have to endure at a boring birthday party was cheap champagne and dull conversation. Murder never crossed my mind.

After three months of struggling to fit into the small town of Rainy Dale, Texas, Maxwell Thornton is once again thrown into the middle of a murder investigation. While attending Mayor Penelope Granger’s birthday party, he and Royce are witnesses to the cold-blooded murder of her father.

Seeing as he’s sheriff, Royce has no choice but to get involved in solving the murder, but he’d prefer Maxwell stay at a safe distance. Maxwell would prefer that too, but when an attempt is made on his life, he’s unwillingly sucked into the case.

When Maxwell moved to Rainy Dale, he’d hoped for a new beginning. But after two attempts on his life and his unnerving emotional attachment to Royce, more and more Maxwell wonders if staying in Rainy Dale is the logical choice. Perhaps it’s time to run back to Los Angeles, where he can keep his body and his heart safe.

I’m loving this series!

A local Rainy Dale businessman is publicly murdered at his daughter’s birthday party but no one sees it happen. Meanwhile, Dr Maxwell Thornton continues to ruffle his patients’ feathers with his forthright advice and he worries he’ll disappoint Sheriff Royce Marshall if they take their relationship further. When Max is physically attacked, it’s hard to know who might be angry enough. This series is a gem, I love the developing relationship with Max and Royce as much as the mysteries. The emerging pattern is that the detecting is mainly police procedural work calmly carried out by Royce, rather than amateur detection by Max. These are complete stories but each one prefaces the murder in the next book. I’m really enjoying Matt Haynes’ audio narrations, I love the way he voices the characters.
