About this audiobook
Bad quickly turns to worse when Miranda is found brutally murdered, with hard evidence pointing to Clay as the killer. Determined to clear him, Sydney launches her own investigation. But as Sydney digs into Miranda's past, she soon runs afoul of an enigmatic corporation that's part church, part business, and all-powerful when it comes to keeping its secrets buried-and its enemies silent.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5All I wanna know is when is the third one of this series coming out??!??!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Successful restaurateur Sydney Richardson is back in the second book in the "Hush Money Series." She has recovered nicely from her last brush with trouble; she's looking forward to spending the holidays with her family and close friends in the picturesque snow-covered Madison, WI. Clay Hawthorne, her boyfriend who owns the blue club down the street from her to restaurants, are finding themselves getting closer and closer. He fits right in with her mother and her cop family; they have all accepted him into their group. Sydney battles from relationship issues as a result of being given up for adoption as an infant. She's still a bit nervous regarding their relationship. Clay's adult son, Steel who has been traveling abroad makes an appearance one night at Clay's home when Sydney was staying over.Clay raised Steel on his own, his high school sweetheart, Miranda Greer from Montana couldn't deal with having a baby or being tied down when Clay offered to marry her. She dumped the baby on Clay, and he hasn't heard from her since. Fast forward twenty years, it seems Miranda has made quite a change in her life, she's a very wealthy, polished, beautiful woman who thinks nothing of coming back to into Clay and Steel's life to claim them both. Clay want's nothing to do with Miranda her appearance still shakes him after all these years. He can't deny Steel for wanting to get to know his mother, but he also knows something isn't quite right with her, she's an entirely different woman. Sydney doesn't take this to well at all. Miranda makes no bones that she not only wants Steel but his father as well.Things get worse for the couple after Miranda's body is found in an abandoned barn out in the country after a particularly loud confrontation between her and Clay. The same detective and officers who he has gotten close too are accusing him of murder. Sydney, of course, doesn't believe he would be capable of this crime and she goes to Ann Arbor to figure out what exactly Miranda has been up to these past twenty years.I have to admit I didn't see the ending coming; it took me by surprise. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this series. Disclosure: I would like to the thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-galley of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. The opinion I expressed above are my own.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5As anyone who follows my reviews knows, I think books written in multiple timelines testify to author laziness. I am not a T.E. Woods fan and when I saw how this book is constructed, I stopped reading.I received a review copy of "Bad Girl: A Hush Money Mystery" by T. E. Woods (Random House – Alibi) through NetGalley.com.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is apparently the second in a series, and I definitely intend to find the first one and read it. The writing is fantastic, rounding out every character and every situation. I fell in love with several characters and wanted to throttle a few. In other words...great reading experience.I knew that things were not quite what they seemed to be, and I developed several theories as to where it was all headed. That's the fun part for me. Good thing I'm not an actual detective, because I had this one figured wrong. That's a good thing! I'm always happy when I'm surprised by the actual villain. If you want to fall into a town where people are close and look out for one another, and you are prepared to become emotionally involved with them, read this book. Lovely good guys, realistic bad guys, all the ingredients.
