It was a pretty good mystery story. A little too much religion for me.

I am a huge fan of Ruth Hogan. I have enjoyed all of her books that I read (listened to). This book is about a baby that was abandoned at a Fortune Teller's tent when was just a small infant. The story of her parentage is what keeps the story rolling. Two timelines are involved, Starting with 1972 and then present day. The reveal of the parents is unexpected in IMO. The minor characters are really interesting, with great names, Diamond,Ruby,Treasure. Great dogs in the story too.
I recommend this audio recording.

I loved this audio recording!! Not the greatest title. Virginia Reeve is a great main character. The women on this expedition find to an English women's lost explorer husband and crew are also really fascinating. The ending was exactly what I was hoping for. The trials and tribulations of this adventure were page turning. I see from the other reviews that not everyone agrees with me...
I recommend this audio recording.

At 1st I was unsure if I was going to like this audio recording. It started out good, but when the kidnap plan came along, I thought, oh dear, where could this possibly be going? Turns out that I was pleasantly surprised and I give this audio recording 4½ 🌟.
None of my audible reviews get posted, so this is just a waste of time..

***Spoiler***
I enjoyed this audio recording. Set in the 80's, in Providence RI, All 4 law partners of a law firm are killed in a small plane crash. Technically there are 3 widows and a wannabe wife. Was the plane crash an accident or did the Mafia have their hand in it? An angry client or angry wife? The story includes illegal dumping, cancer, hit men and redemption. I recommend this audio recording.

Story
In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris. Scarred by his family’s history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as “The Priest” inexorably erode the walls they’ve built.

Listening to a story from 1987 was a little strange. No cell phones, there were working telephone booths,smoking everywhere and discarding the cigarettes everywhere. They called PTSD delayed stress syndrome. Overall I enjoyed the story and the sex wasn't too much. The 1st book in a Series.
I mostly recommend this audio recording.
