I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and any opinions expressed herein are my own.
This is the seventh book in the Jack Marconi series. I have not read any of the prior books in this series. I found this book to be a standalone with no cliffhanger ending. I had no trouble following the characters/motivations or the story line not having read the previous books. There were some references to prior events, which were brief and had no real effect on the current action. I believe that these prior events were likely from the prior books in the series.
This is a fast-action type of book – a bit formulaic but enjoyable nonetheless. A death which seemed suspicious but ruled to be of natural causes comes back to haunt a trio of men – one who recently died and one who has found religion and wants to confess his soul. Jack becomes involved when he is hired by the third man to keep the secret of the man’s death buried. But you know the old riddle of how to keep a secret between three people… There are some good twists which will keep you guessing.
The narrator, Andrew Wehrlen, did a good job and kept a good pace narrating.
