Rating: 3 out of 5.

3.5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a quick and easy read, with short chapters that suck you in and make you want to keep reading late into the night. The author does a great job of weaving seemingly disconnected storylines into one central story that has a satisfying ending.

I loved the MC, PI Andrea. She is a tenacious bad-ass who I would want looking for me if I ever went missing. She is smart, calculating and doesn’t know what “giving up” means. I loved how she was able to manipulate people to get information and use every resource at her disposable to get answers. If this turns into a series, I’m definitely reading the next book.

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a satisfying mystery, so I’m very glad I was given a complimentary copy of this book to review by Kate Rock Book Tour. All opinions are my own.

Here is the Goodreads Synopsis:

Philadelphia private investigator Andrea Fabiano is no stranger to tough cases that require her to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty. However, when she takes on what seems like a routine insurance investigation for her longtime client, insurance executive Nate Warner, she soon finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy that puts her life on the line.
Despite having just completed an arson investigation course, Andrea is unprepared for what she discovers when she begins rooting around the charred remains of an empty warehouse that was destroyed by fire. Shockingly, she finds the burned remains of a human body, setting off a chain of events that will test her investigative skills and push her to her limits.


As the case takes increasingly mysterious turns, Nate Warner goes missing, leaving Andrea to navigate a web of financial fraud and murder that leads her into sinister and corrupt corners of the city. Along the way, she’ll have to confront dark truths about her own past and deal with strained relationships, including with her foster brother Tom Volpe, who happens to be the police detective assigned to the case.
Despite the challenges she faces, Andrea is determined to get to the bottom of the case and bring those responsible to justice. Along the way, she’ll discover unlikely allies and make surprising connections, all while fighting to stay alive in a dangerous and unpredictable world.
