Synopsis
Dr. Chris Shepard has never seen his new patient before. But the
attractive young woman with the scarred face knows him all too well. An
FBI agent working undercover, Alex Morse has come to Dr. Shepard's office
in Natchez, Mississippi, to unmask a killer. A local divorce attorney has
a cluster of clients whose spouses have all died under mysterious
circumstances. Agent Morse's own brother-in-law was one of those clients,
and now her beloved sister is dead. Then comes Morse's bombshell: Dr.
Shepard's own beautiful wife consulted this lawyer one week ago, a visit
Shepard knew nothing about. Will he help Alex Morse catch a killer? Or is
he the next one to fall victim to a deadly trap of sex, lies, and
murder?
Review:
I found this book on Scribd.
This was a great listen. It reminded me a little of that long ago movie
with Dennis Quaid movie DOA where a man investigates his own murder.
This was better than that movie but a similar premise. Alex Morse
is told by her sister on her death bed that she was murdered by her husband.
However Alex's sister died of Cancer. Alex unsure if her sister is
correct decides to investigate and what she finds is a divorce attorney that
seems to take cases that never wind up in divorce court but the spouses all
end up dead of seemingly natural causes. All the spouses are rich and
divorce would cost them millions. When Alex discovers a doctor could be the
next victim she enlists his help but first she has to convince him that his
wife is cheating and that his life is in danger.
This is a fast paced thriller. There are multiple points of view and
many players in this race to catch a killer and save Chris Shepard from a
similar fate as all those others spouses. While this isn't a Penn Cage story
both Penn and his father both show up as minor characters which make the story
feel familiar. I love when authors do this, having characters bridge
other stories.
The narrator was great, I feel like I could listen to him all day...in fact I
think I did! I don't know what took me so long to find this author but I'm
glad I finally did. Superb writing that has you feeling the sticky heat on
your skin, hearing the breeze struggle through the Spanish moss dripping off
the trees and your soul slow down a pace from the fast pace of East Coast
Northern life. It almost makes me want a sweet tea...almost (way too sweet for
me).
