About this audiobook
Raised by loving adoptive parents, San Francisco private investigator Wyatt Hunt never had an interest in finding his birth family—until he gets a chilling text message:
“How did your mother die?”
The answer is murder, and Hunt takes on a case he never knew existed, unsolved for decades. His family’s dark past unfurls in dead ends. Child Protection Services, who suspected Hunt was being neglected, is uninformed; his birth father, twice-tried but never convicted of the murder, is in hiding; Evie, his mother’s drug-addicted religious fanatic of a friend, is untraceable. And who is the texter, and how is this person connected to Hunt? Time is running out. Insisting the murderer is out there, the texter refuses to be identified. But as the case escalates, so does the threat—for the killer has a secret that will go to the grave….

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the story, but very disappointed in the narrator -stilted reading, voices of characters off the mark, and the worst: why, after so many books did he change the pronounciation of one of the main characters name?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is definitely not as good as any of the Dismas Hardy series, but still a good read. Wyatt is a good character, and I like the psychological angle this book takes around his background and how he copes with it. The crime, and what we learn regarding its protagonist in this case, is pretty thin and not a really satisfying conclusion for the story. I ended up at four stars based on how much I really like Lescroart in general and first two thirds of the book, which is pretty exciting.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Definitely not his best.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5excellent private investigator thriller, with unexpected twists
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was good to read about Wyatt Hunt's mysterious past. He was adopted at age 6 after being in foster care for a few years. His birth mother was murdered when he was three and his father was charged with the crime but twice had hung juries and so was set free with the stigma over his head. He disappeared from Wyatt's life. Wyatt, after receiving an anonymous text asking about his mother's death, decides that it is time to find out the truth about his past. He never imagined how much the would affect his life and the lives of those around him.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Standard suspense/thriller fare. Lescroart hits a few points too repetitively but the resolution is believable and the action is realistic rather than super-human.
