Narrator Tania Rodrigues's wistful inflection enhances the sorrow and tumult in French's latest mystery. When Ellie's husband is found dead with another woman in his vehicle, the scandal and grieving process leave her questioning everything about her life and the man she loved. While everyone around her believes it was an affair and a car crash, Ellie is certain that foul play was involved, and she takes increasingly dangerous risks to uncover the truth. Rodrigues's in-depth character portrayals are well matched to a wide cast of characters with conflicting motives to hide their secrets and scandals from Ellie. Gradual pacing teases out tense moments and uncomfortable confrontations, building the stakes to a jarring conclusion. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
