One year ago, Shelby Nichols was shot in the head by a robber in a convenience store. As a result, she can now read people's minds. Unfortunately, it's always getting her into trouble, especially since Joseph "The Knife" Manetto, local mob boss enlists her help from time to time as a favor for letting her live. This time, her cases are her hardest yet. Some diamonds Manetto was selling to another mob boss were stolen by someone in his organization and now he's dead. If Manetto doesn't find the diamonds, there will be a mob war on the city's hands with Shelby in the middle. Things only heat up when, Detective "Dimples" Harris enlists herself to solve a lawyer's murder. If things couldn't get any worse, while looking at a house that goes up for sale, Shelby discovers two dead bodies buried beneath the crumbling foundation. Surrounded by deception everywhere, can Shelby live to tell her tales?
Narrator, Wendy Tremont King's unique voices bring Shelby's world to life with pizzazz and humor. Her intonations complement the different tones throughout the book. Her pace fit well with the author's page-turning plot and make this audiobook impossible to put down. The plot is well developed, humorous, and intriguing. Fans of Shelby Nichols or listeners who are new to the series will enjoy listening to this book.

5 stars, ADULT
