This isn’t a bad book, and I rather liked the main character, attorney Sasha McCandless. I did not read the first in this series, but little depended upon that except for her first meeting with her current lover and unofficial “partner,” Air Marshall Leo Connelly. Sasha is appointed to handle a case completely outside her area of expertise, which already seems rather unlikely. Although she is an attorney, this is not a legal thriller. She falls into become a kind of informal detective, essentially abandoning her personal, fledgling law practice in Pittsburg. I found the conclusion unsatisfying, wherein the villains essentially self-destructed rather than being unmasked by Sasha or the police through their investigative efforts.

I had a difficult time getting used to Karen Commins’ reading; her voice is rather harsh, and she has considerable difficulties portraying male voices. She also mispronounced a number of words.

I probably will give the successor book, Irretrievably Broken, a try to see whether I would want to continue the series.
