It’s a bittersweet reunion for Mac Faraday when members of his former homicide squad arrive at the Spencer Inn. While it is sweet to attend the wedding of a late colleague’s daughter, it is a bitter reminder that the mother of the bride had been the victim of a double homicide.
The brutal slaying weighing heavy on his mind, Mac is anxious to explore every avenue for a break in the cold case—even a suggestion from disgraced former detective Louis Gannon that one of their former friends is the killer.
When the investigator is brutally slain, Mac Faraday rips open the cold case with a ruthless determination to reveal which of his friends is a cold-blooded murderer.

Review By LAWonder10:
Once aagin, Lauren Carr has successfully entertained her audience with humor, mystery, suspense, a little melancoly and introducese Chris Matheson of the Cold Case Files series.
This is another rendition of the author’s style in creating the illusion of solution to the crime only to have another crime occur. She keeps the reader gyessig until the very end of the book.
Of course, we cannot forget “Mayor Gnarly”! In this saga, he didn’t play a major role as he often does, but he still is involved and has another girlfriend.
David has a more subdued ole in this novel. Could it be he is finally maturing and settleing down?
I rad the book AND listened to the audio. Of course, the book was great on its own but Mike Alger, as always, did a very good job in his entertaining narration. He did slip outof character a few times but quickly got back “into the swing of things”. It always amazes me at how well many narrators plays so many roles and usually keeps on top of them all. Most actors don’t do this. I firmly believe these narrators are more talented than many actors.
I offer a Four and a Half Stars for both the Book content and the narrator.
This book/audiobook was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. Ths is m honest review.
