Enjoyed Every Book

The very first book in series took a little time at start but once my attention was engaged I raced through it. The four subsequent books in series were unputdownable.. I only hope there's more to come. Gripping.

I couldn't stop listening...so many secrets!!

Absolutely loved this book, it seems there are more books available with Detective Riley as the feature character/narrator, I will read them also.
Some aspects of this story were a surprise some unfolded as the story was told. I loved how complex all the characters were and the storyline was interwoven, everyone was connected somehow.
The book was very well written and James Lailey did an excellent job of presenting the story.
