Ever since Shelby went to a grocery store to get carrots and
got shot, nothing in Shelby Nichols’ life is ever routine or boring, especially
with her mind reading abilities caused by the grocery store incident. When Joey
“The Knife” Manetto, aka Uncle Joey, asks Shelby to go listen to a private
investigator named Sam Kilpack’s thought s, she arrives at the man’s office
only to find him dead. To make matters worse, someone’s trying to frame her for
Sam’s murder. Her husband’s gun was used as the murder weapon and her
fingerprints were all over it. It Shelby hadn’t taken the note that had her
name on it and the pen Sam had written her name with prior to his death, she’d
be behind bars. When Shelby discovers that another man by the name of Jim was
found guilty of killing his girlfriend, she finds out that his girlfriend’s
murder has the same M.O as her case. Unfortunately, he’s set to be executed in
just a few days. Could the two cases be
connected? Will Shelby and her husband, Chris, be able to clear her name, find
the real killer, and save herself and Jim?
This fast-paced, gripping mystery was a treat to listen to.
Narrator, Wendy Tremont King’s voices are unique and easily distinguishable.
The plot is filled with twist and turns that King handles with ease. The
intrigue, suspense, and mystery of the story are well-blended and easily hold
the reader’s attention. The characters were well-developed and entertaining and
the dynamic between them was humorous and engaging. The narrator’s and author’s
pacing complement each other perfectly and are well-suited. Listeners who have
read or listened to the other Shelby Nichols adventures will have an easier
time understanding what is going on, but this could be read out of order.
People who enjoy mystery, adventure, humor, and suspense will thoroughly enjoy listening
to this series.
5 stars, ADULT
