    About this audiobook

    Amazon Charts bestselling authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke make their suspense debut in this twisty, emotional thriller.

    Elementary school teacher Jacqueline “Jacks” Morales’s marriage was far from perfect, but even in its ups and downs it was predictable, familiar. Or at least she thought it was…until two police officers showed up at her door with devastating news. Her husband of eight years, the one who should have been on a business trip to Kansas, had suffered a fatal car accident in Hawaii. And he wasn’t alone.

    For Jacks, laying her husband to rest was hard. But it was even harder to think that his final moments belonged to another woman—one who had left behind her own grieving and bewildered fiancé. Nick, just as blindsided by the affair, wants answers. So he suggests that he and Jacks search for the truth together, retracing the doomed lovers’ last days in paradise.

    Now, following the twisting path of that fateful road, Jacks is learning that nothing is ever as it seems. Not her marriage. Not her husband. And most certainly not his death…

      Just OK. There wasn’t much suspense. No twist at the end. It got pretty obvious close to the end. I would say don’t waste your time .

      Boring and predicable. I kept waiting for the "twists and turns"...but got a fizzle at the end. Saw that one coming a mile away. Disappointing read.

      It was a bit boring! I was hoping something would happened, but it did not. Very predictable!

      I listen to a significant number of audiobooks, and this is one of the very worst! The dialogue was immature, and I couldn’t wait for it to end. A total waste of time.

      Slow. I thought it was going to be more of a mystery. Mystery didn’t appear until close to the end. Just not for me

      good book, cheesy unnecessary music at beginning and end, didn't like narrators voice
    • 5/5
      This was such a page turner or for audio I couldn’t stop listening. The plot twist was something I definitely didn’t see coming. Loved it!

      The narrators voice was not pleasant to listen to, the book was predictable
    • 5/5
      Thoroughly enjoyed. Good twists and even though you want to dislike certain characters, you can’t. Perfect beach or fun mystery book reading.
    • 3/5
      Didn't expect the ending but glad it didn't go the way I thing it was.
    • 2/5
      I normally do not post reviews but this was so frustrating that I I am writing one for this book. Other reviews said the same thing and I did not listen. absolutely nothing happens no twist no turns nothing happens it’s just a nice little jaunt through the story without much else. No big twist at the end everybody saw that coming I would assume and just the fact that nothing happens! It was so frustrating. Girls night out is a much better choice
