About this listen
Three months have passed since Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset faced a madman and lived to tell about it. Three months have passed since Emery Hazard resigned from his job as a detective.Three months can be too long and too short, all at the same time.
On Halloween, a professor at the local college is murdered in his apartment, in front of dozens of witnesses. Then, the killer disappears. Somers is assigned the case and a new partner. While Somers investigates the murder, Hazard struggles to find purpose in his new freedom. Despite his decision to stay away, he finds himself drawn to the case. But he’s no longer in the police force, and in the small town of Wahredua, not all of his former colleagues are happy to see him investigating another crime.
When the sheriff’s son and husband go missing, though, the case becomes more complicated than either Hazard or Somers had expected. And soon, they learn that someone else is manipulating events in Wahredua. Someone who is very interested in Emery Hazard.

An intriguing new chapter for Hazard and Somers!
Emery Hazard is no longer a detective and it’s affecting his mental health as he goes through the motions of being a ‘house husband’. Meanwhile, John-Henry Somerset has to contend with an overeager new partner and the mind-bending case of a university professor who is stabbed to death in front of a room full of people who failed to see anything. When Hazard is ‘hired’ to find the killer by one of the university students, it raises the hackles of the Wahredua Police Dept and Somers finds himself on the defensive.
Although this is the start of a new series, it’s the 7th Hazard & Somers book and it might be hard to meet the characters here for the first time. Hazard & Somers are still working through their many mutual issues but the ‘romance’ happened many books ago, they are a very established couple here. The case was really intriguing but a little unsatisfying. Although it was solved, it raised more questions than it answered and I had to adjust my expectations - I’m guessing that answering these questions will comprise the long story arc of this new series and I’m looking forward to the journey. US narrator Tristan James is the voice of Hazard & Somers and after 7 books, he has won me over and I can’t imagine any other voice for them.
