When a dead body ends up in her trunk, can Dr. Zora Smyth escape the web of lies and secrets that could destroy her?

When the cops discover a dead body in her trunk on her way back from a medical conference, Dr. Zora Smyth figures she can prove it has nothing to do with her. After all, she’d been down this road before, right?

But the dead man turns out to be her colleague, a fellow surgeon with a well-known grudge against her, plunging Zora into the center of a murder investigation.

As Zora scrambles to uncover the truth, she soon realizes nothing is as it seems and finds herself caught in a web of lies and secrets at the hospital that extends beyond what she would have imagined.

With her life spinning out of control as she races to save herself, will Zora untangle herself and expose the truth in time to stop an unexpected enemy determined to destroy her at all costs?

Dobi Cross has done it again. Dr. Zora Smyth is in over her head again from the time her plane lands . Someone has it in for Zora once again and they just won't let it go. Unfortunately for them she has a legal team that just won't quit.. This one will keep you glued to the book and leave you wanting more

I enjoyed this sixth book of the Zora Smyth series with a couple of qualifications. This book refers to people and events in previous books so it is not totally stand-alone. The book frequently refers to "the woman" or "the man" and leaves you to wonder who they are. Don't worry, all will be revealed. Zora was left pondering a possible change of scenery when her fellowship is over. The case itself, the case of the dead body in Zora's trunk, is solved, but the ending is definitely a cliffhanger and will leave you desperately wanting more and soon. It left me with my mouth hanging open! I can't wait for book 7.

Another great book!

I enjoyed reading Cross books because of the suspense. Her stories gets straight to the point! Once you read one book, you definitely got to read the next one! So now I can't wait to read to see who is Jason Martin, where he come from, and how does he fit into her life. Also, Marcus from the dead is back! Can't wait to see how that turns out!

Good novel

Again Dr. Zora Smyth faced a chalenging threat to her life and her carrier. Seemingly impossible turn of events saved her. It is just like other books in series griping you from first page to last.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked the rest of the series, but in book 5 the language started getting a little worse, and in book 6 I felt the language was definitely worse and the subject matter wasn't handled as carefully as in the rest of the series. I really hope the author goes back to her original style.

[Vicki Gilbertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, fantastic ending to the series 👏🙌

[Sandy Gurile · Rating 2 out of 5]

I hate to give this a 2, but once again Zora is accused of murder. By this time in the series, it has gotten really old and I didn't care for the ending at all.
