Twenty-four-year-old Mary Kendricks is a vivacious young teacher living in the quiet Northern town of Highford, her beauty turning heads wherever she goes. But when she catches the eye of Robert Carter, initial flattery quickly turns dangerous. Wherever she goes, Carter is not far behind and Mary soon becomes stifled by his attention, telling friends of her fears that he's getting too close. And then Mary's body is discovered, stabbed to death in her own bedroom. The case quickly garners the attention of the press, all baying for Carter's blood. It's the case no lawyer wants to touch—until criminal defense lawyer Dan Grant, aided by investigator Jayne Brett, agrees to represent Carter. While Robert Carter admits to being at her house when it happened—the bloody fingerprint on her wall placing him at the scene—he insists he is innocent of her death. The police believe they've got their man, but as they delve further into the investigation, Grant and Brett think the detectives might be looking in the wrong place—leaving the real murderer to walk free. In order to catch a killer before another victim is discovered, Brett and Grant need to risk everything. Including their own lives...

      This audiobook succeeds because narrator Johnny Heller flawlessly delivers White's exceptional murder mystery, making it into one that listeners won't want to turn off. The story features attorney Dan Grant, who inherits a homicide defense from his colleague, Robert Carter. Even though his client appears guilty, Grant is skeptical. He begins to investigate and confirms his suspicions, particularly when schoolteacher Mary Kendricks turns up dead and Carter is charged with her murder. Every scene works well because of Heller's varied voices, seemingly breathless presentation style, and carefully nuanced accents. Listeners will also appreciate the dialogue between Grant and his investigator, Jayne Brett, whose own background adds layers to the intrigue and the surprising, but wholly credible, ending. D.J.S.
