Written by Riley Smith

Narrated by Sarah Pesek

When MJ Walker receives the opportunity of a lifetime – inheriting a storefront and a piece of land from an estranged uncle in the remote desert town of Firewood – she can't believe her luck. With a passion for animals and a newfound purpose, MJ sets out to build the animal shelter of her dreams. Little does she know that her dream will soon be tangled in a web of lies, deceit, and murder.

As MJ and her team prepare for the grand opening of the shelter, they are blindsided by the appearance of the mysterious and intimidating Cassandra Devon, MJ's cousin, and her lawyer. Accused of murdering her uncle, MJ finds herself in a race against time to clear her name and save her dream.

Forced to partner with Cassandra, the two women unravel a complex web of secrets involving Mort Devon's finances, his former secretary, and a creepy butler with a twisted love for Cassandra. As the evidence mounts, can they expose the real killer before it's too late, or will they both find themselves behind bars?

[Nancy Vieth · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The story was okay. I felt the police were more caricatures than real characters in the story. Also, for the most part the narrator was good, but nothing outstanding.
