RATING: 2 STARS
2019; Mira/Harlequin
I have read quite a few of Mofina's suspense mystery novels and have on a whole enjoyed them. I really liked his Kate Page and Jason Wade (this was my first book and series by him) series. I could not get into the last Kate Page novel, [b:Free Fall|28507358|Free Fall (Kate Page, #4)|Rick Mofina|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1463591361l/28507358._SY75_.jpg|48661710] but I do like the first two books. I was excited to get into this standalone novel, but found it hard to keep reading. Reading it was harder, so I kept with the audiobook. The narrator seemed bored with the story and didn't really even try to distinguish the different characters. I had the speed at 1.75 just to add some emotion. I had a hard time buying the storyline and the murderer was easy to figure out. It could have just been me, so take a look at some of the 4 and 5 star reviews as well.

The story was plotted well enough but the characters and their conversation didn't seem all that real.

5.0
This is one of those whodunit books that you do not want to put down nor do you want it to end. Get ready for the greatest ride of your life. This was a roller coaster of mystery & suspense, I totally loved it!
