I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I had guessed that probably something happened to Jax by the title of the book. Boy was I surprised and happy to that it was not the case. I really felt for Jax when her Perry starts to push her away. Over the course of the series Sarah brings to light the many different ways and reasons someone murders another. Like the many shows around us dictate these same things Sarah brings a sense of class and honor and truth. I truly enjoy listening to her ducal series books. I absolutely love them. Such a great read and many twists and the way Jax figures out who is the killer is stunning!! Highly recommend!
