Though this was my first book of the series it was still a darn good read. Easy to read as a standalone, the story had great pacing and intrigue. I will say that the guilty party seemed obvious to me with today's culture, but perhaps not so to everyone.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for my advance copy of this audiobook.

This book was phenomenal! well paced. kept me on the edge of my seat AMAZING!!

This is my first book of this series but I am on the hunt to start the series from the beginning!!

Characters are amazing and the plot was excellent!!

5 stars

Kat has corruption charges looming over her head. Her boss has given her a week to explain how the money got there. On top of that a friend calls her admitting to murder. Kat who is supposed to only work on cold cases investigates against her bosses’ orders. Will she get to the bottom of what happened? Is her friend really guilty?

This is my first book by this author and I must say that I will be reading more. I was completed blindsided when the killer was uncovered. I was hooked by the storyline from the very beginning.

Thank you to Andy Maslen, Brillance Audio and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My most recent audiobook was The Silent Wife by Andy Maslen! Honestly I was kind of hoping for something like The Silent Patient, but even though it wasn’t I did find it to be an interesting read! This is the third book in the Detective Kat Ballantyne series, and unfortunately I jumped in without having read the first two, which I feel might have helped in understanding some of the characters better.

Kat is under investigation dealing with a possible corruption charge after a large sum of money mysteriously shows up in her bank account! She's now been instructed to only work cold cases until she’s cleared, but it’s all but impossible when a new case comes up involving a friend who confesses to a murder Kat is pretty sure she didn't commit!
The story is packed with suspense, complex characters, and unexpected twists. While I will admit to occasionally feeling a little lost and confused (I’m sure reading the first two would have helped!) I did find this to be a gripping read that kept me hooked.

If you love thrillers with strong female leads, give this one a try!

Huge thank you to Netgalley and Brilliance Publishing for the audiobook copy of this book!

I had no idea this was #3 in a series! It left wanting to get my hands on #4! And I can easily go back to read the previous 2, or not.
I enjoyed the narration.
Thanks to Netgalley, Andy Maslen, and publisher for the opportunity to preview ADC
