    About this audiobook

    After six exciting thrillers in seven years, bestselling author James Grippando is at last bringing back the main character from his blockbuster debut novel, The Pardon.

    Criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck doesn't handle many civil cases. But this one is different. His client, Jessie Merrill, is a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who's being sued.

    At the trial, Jack pulls off a brilliant victory and Jessie gets a hefty settlement. But then Jack finds out it was all a scam. Two days later, Jessie's body turns up floating in Jack's bathtub. As the evidence mounts against him, Jack finds himself on a collision course with dark secrets from the past and a possible killer is beyond suspicion.

      My contention is that the first line of almost any book will tell you whether the read will be joyous or a dismal failure and this book said it on on page 1, with 15 words, and substantially proved the contention: "Outside her bedroom window, the blanket of fallen leaves moved--one footstep at a time." Simple words conveyed a whole lot more than one might expect even as one reads them for the first time, and the slight shiver they convey, sets the tone for this terrific thriller, populated with people you like, and people you don't without a wasted phrase and with a plot that keeps you up nights.

      There was a lot going on in this book, but I felt the author did a good job of pulling it together and making it believable.

      It's been a while since I read the first Swyteck but I vaguely remember not like the character Cindy. While this didn't feel lie a smooth transition from book one to book two, it did cover some background at the start to bridge the time gap. And giving glimpses of Cindy's past here and there definitely did nothing to improve my opinion of her. I also think Grippando did a great bit if self-editing by not letting Katrina's character get too in-depth with remembering her past--just enough to keep it interesting, still mysterious and not give a whole lot away while doing so. Surprise, surprise!--Look with who she ends up with--didn't see that coming at all. I think the story could have been a bit smoother, but it was an interesting twist on the tale of revenge. There are come conspiracy buffs out there who would love to spins me tales off this one.

      Jack Swyteck returns with a puzzling case that involves his old girlfriend, who hires him to get her out of a sticky insurance situation. First she was dying, then she isn't. It's a tough one to figure out, and it won't disappoint you. I anxiously await James Grippando's new books because they never disappoint. I always listen to them because they are wonderfully suspenseful and fun to listen to.
