What's a mother to do?

What should a mother do when her son and his girlfriend return home splattered in blood and confess they may have murdered a man?

Characterizations were stellar, pacing was on-point, and twists were plentiful and jaw-dropping,

From start to finish, the book was unpredictable and unputdownable.

I listened to the audiobook, brilliantly narrated by James Lailey.

Although this book is the eighth book in Anna-Lou Weatherley's Detective Dan Riley's series, it is also a standalone read.

TWs: Prostitution, domestic abuse, child abuse, police corruption.

I usually stay far, far, away from books with these TWs but author Anna-Lou Weatherley skillfully handled these sensitive subjects with exceptional finesse and sensitivity.

I listened to all eight books in the Detective Dan Riley series, and this was one of my favorites.

Currently available for free on Audible Plus.

One of my besties of 2025.

All the stars!

Thanks for liking my review, Holly. I hope you give Detective Dan another try and enjoy this one as much as I did. I will be watching for your review!


Terence M - [Quot libros, quam breve tempus!] I became tired of Detective Dan in previous books moaning about his late girlfriend, Rachel, but like Holly B, I also will give him another try!


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Excellent review as always Jayne 💖
