This book was just ok. The story had no spunk. Everything felt weighted down and slow. It needed some excitement or more suspense to get this up to a higher rating.

At first I was not sure I was going to like this book. The cop is too much a detective and Esme is "Perfect". She has never done a thing wrong in her life. She is perfect. A perfect ballerina who has lost her job, dancing, due to hip issues. So she is forced to come home (I love books where the woman has to come home but usually they have some flaws). So she drives home from Syracuse where she has left her equally perfect boyfriend and finds her bestie dead in the yard. Well she finds the ambulance and cops there.
Mr. York is the distinguished creep. Jake is the hot guy who is single and still hot.
Rita, the detective is gonna have to solve this murder. Who killed Esme's bestie?
I guess I got attached to everyone.
The narration is absolutely perfect. I loved it so much!

A twisty read. Kept me guessing from beginning to end. I would suggest reading it over listening. Wasn’t a huge fan of the narration.

Thank you netgalley for giving me this advanced copy. I have to say I was slightly disappointed in this book as I enjoyed Terri Parlatos first book much more. I was pulled into the plot at the beginning but felt myself getting slightly bored towards the middle and end. I felt it was a little too long as well.
