It all started with a chance encounter in the city with Blair, his late wife.

Nothing is as it seems.

In his most personal cold case, Chris fights to uncover why the state department told him that Blair, the mother of his children, had been killed when she was alive. What had she uncovered that has made her a target? Who terrified her so much that she had gone into hiding and why are they now after him?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mystery

This book has lots of action. It starts with a bang and keeps going. Chris’s dead wife is back, but not for long as she is the target of an assassin because she found out some nasty secrets. It’s up to Chris to try to figure out what happened and why Blair hid for so long. Blair was good at hiding, and even her best friend didn’t know what was going on. Some things you think you have all put together, but then comes a subtle little twist that puts a whole different perspective on things.

The narrator is awesome. There are several characters, and he is great at giving them individuality and keeping it from being confusing when switching characters. I also enjoyed the unusual pets and situations with the pets when Chris’s mom gets involved. Did not see some of that coming. Loved the character of Chris’s mom. She’s a hoot.

In all a good mystery that will keep you wondering if you have it exactly right or if you missed something. There is a bit of violence and no adult content.
