    About this audiobook

    A dead man’s secrets put a family in peril in a twisting novel of suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of the David Adams series.

    Alex Mahan is married to his high school sweetheart, Taylor. They have two daughters and a beautiful home, and Alex’s startup business is about to explode thanks to massive private funding from his compassionate and supportive father-in-law, Joe. With millions more to come, all is perfect—until Joe is abducted and murdered during a family trip in Mexico.

    Alex’s world is about to be turned upside down. He can’t bear to tell his grieving wife why. The man they’ve both idolized has been keeping secrets. The pledged millions are nowhere to be found. The source of the original investment is a mystery, even to Joe’s financial adviser. No one, it seems, has any idea who the man they knew, loved, and trusted really was.

    As Alex digs deeper into Joe’s shadowy life, the most shocking surprises are yet to come. Deadly ones, too, because every lie that Alex uncovers in Joe’s dark past puts his family in more danger.

      A fun, quick mystery with enough intrigue to keep just about any reader engaged. Plot twists were kept to a minimum, especially twists that are unlikely like many novelists use. No sex scenes, so if you’re looking for a good mystery to recommend to your grandmother, this would be it. Characters are believable and interesting. Situations are believable, at least until the end, when Zunker sort of jumps the shark. But that’s ok. It doesn’t ruin the book, and in today’s literary world, those kinds of things are par for the course and almost required to make sure a book sells.

      This could also have been called.....The Lives of Joe...except that might be a spoiler alert! In a novel, anything can happen and truly, the abilities and events that happened by and to Alex in the space of one incredible week...."almost" beyond belief....but....definitely works for this book. Alex's over-the-top life style which he keeps describing are....a little hard to appreciate? Put up with? Even Joe and Carol's adoration of their daughter, AND Alex, as well as their two granddaughters....fine....this is what novels are all about and this truly becomes a page turner! Zunker is a new author for me and now I can go and find his earlier books...always a good surprise with an author who is new for me.

      Juvenile writing. Read about 10%. Not worth my time.

      This book starts with a punch when Alex Mahan's father-in-law, Joe, is kidnapped in Mexico. Then, the book slows down considerably while Alex begins his investigation into Joe's life, naively putting himself and several others in danger. The text is also swamped with Alex's fond memories of Joe interacting with his wife and kids. It's necessary to the story, but the author should know the reader will get it without being reminded repeatedly. In the last chapters, the action picks up, and some plot twists pull me back in. The end made the book worth reading.

      3.5 stars (rating shown may differ depending on whether site allows half star ratings)

      This book was an Amazon First Reads Pick. I don't think I've read this author before, but if this novel is indicative of his style, I'd be willing to read more by him. It kept me turning the pages, even though I guessed early on that one of the plot points probably wasn't true.

      WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW. READ ON AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION

      I guessed early on that the kidnapping wasn't going to lead to a complete loss, but I didn't guess the why behind that. I thought perhaps it was orchestrated by the kidnap victim (or at least with his knowledge) and that maybe he was being moved by witsec and didn't want to or couldn't take his wife or other family with him. Instead, we got to go on a roller coaster ride with his son-in-law at the helm.
