My review: 3.75⭐
Laurie has been abused by husband, Devon, for years. One encounter lands her in the emergency room and she’s pronounced dead. When she wakes up in the morgue she sees a good opportunity to get out of her marriage by faking her own death. Luckily she finds a nice couple to help her stay off the radar. But when there’s a mysterious fire at Devon’s house, Laurie is brought out of hiding.
Blake is a former detective, turned private investigator. He is hired to prove who set the fire ~ with Laurie as the prime suspect .
I love that it was written from dual pov of Laurie and Blake. Laurie starts off weak, but grows stronger as the story unfolds. Blake is a bit of a mess after losing his partner and lover, Lola and I am not sure if he was sober for any part of the book.
Mario and Belinda were nice supportive characters.
Good~ish narration by Wayne Mitchell & Gail Shalan. They do perfectly fine in their normal voice, but I was just not feeling when they try to speak in opposite sex tones. Gail did a slightly better job though.
Overall this was a decent thriller, but not too memorable. This is my first time with this author and I’d give him a go again.
