Publisher's summary

When six childhood friends get together for their annual girl's weekend at the beach in Port Aransas, none could have believed it would be for the very last time. Nina Evans had been saddled with organizing the weekend each year, pulling five of her oldest friends together for a few nights of fun and reminiscing, the one time a year they saw each other. Each year was much the same—laughter, dancing, and lots of drinking. This time was no different. That is, until Jones walked out of the dance club with a stranger.

Detective Quinn Stewart spends her days on Beach Patrol, living simply on the island after getting burned out on crime and booze while working in Corpus Christi. The pace was slower, murder was rare, and she lived stress-free. That changed on a Friday night in late May.

When the women leave and head back to their homes and families, Nina is left to deal with Jones's death alone. She finds herself drawn to the detective as details emerge on the double life Jones led, making Nina realize, despite a lifelong friendship, she never really knew Jones. As the case unravels, Nina finds herself embroiled in the middle of it. The one constant-Quinn Stewart's unwavering commitment to finding the truth . . . and keeping her safe.

I had no idea who the killer was. Great writing. Great narrator. kept me wanting to listen to more and more

Crime and romance

Abby Craden is superb as usual !! Love the characters good plot Gerri Hill does it again !

I loved it. All of it.

It has been a bit since I have listened to a book by Gerri Hill and now I am going to be looking through everything available on Audible, written by Hill, to make sure I did not miss one. This book was excellent. Absolutely excellent. Abby Craden: as always you are incredible and still top the list of my favorite narrators.

gerri hill's latest is a great listen.

enjoyed this book a lot. Abby Craden and Gerri Hill may bemy favorite combination.

Unexpected!!

As a queer woman it’s hard for me to listen to lgbtq books because they make orientation the personality of the character. It’s not like that in real life. I loved that this book has developed characters who also happened to be lesbian. Not “lesbian characters” and it made this book super enjoyable!

The best mystery, murder and a great love story .

This story had me under a spell from the very first chapter. Such a complicated mystery that kept getting more lethal. Quinn was the strong detective that was trying to unwind the murder but it just seemed out of reach. Nina was the best gift from this horrible case. Their relationship seemed to just grow so quickly. It was nice to see Dee and Fin from Moonlight as the story unfolded. I am never disappointed by a Gerri Hill story told by Abby Craden. I just loved it.

Good Story with his Intriguing Twists and Turns

Another Gerri Hill hit. Interesting storylines involving the main characters but away from their story together. As with many of GH’a stories this one involves some crime, police work and a believable, warm, “root for them” budding relationship.

Any Craden is the amazing cherry on top.

Great suspense and mystery.

Ms Hill writes a wonderful story. This story is definitely a very spenseful, full of mystery and murder. Ms. Hill once again has done again

Jones

Gerri Hill did not disappoint! What a great story one again just like her other books.

Cute Romance Murder Mystery

Another murder mystery romance by Gerri Hill! I loved the chemistry between the main characters. The build up was sweet and their story was well worth the listen. Murder mystery side definitely kept you guessing and about the same time as the main characters figured out who done it, so did the “reader,” which was an interesting twist.

I have personally either read or listened to all of Gerri Hill’s books. I very much enjoyed Quinn’s character and the fact she had grown from a different past. Nina was someone I’d like to hang out with. Overall I’m very pleased with the story.

Abby Craden continues to showcase her outstanding vocie acting. I liked her choices for the charter and how she performed this book. She always makes it easy to recognize who is who when listening to one of her readings.
