Sometimes the past is better left buried. When the matriarch of a rich Seattle family dies under suspicious circumstances, private investigator Thomas Austin is on the case. This time, the suspect list is easy. Seven people were in the lakefront mansion with the millionaire when she died: a spoiled son, a jealous brother-in-law, a beloved chef, a rebellious grandson, an arrogant memoirist, and a pair of successful daughters. All had motive. All had opportunity. But which one is the killer? To solve the case, Austin must look into the past of one of Seattle's most powerful families. With the help of a fiery reporter and a long-lost diary, he uncovers a series of dark secrets that betray the criminal underbelly of old-money Seattle. But the closer Austin gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. Sometimes, when you dig into a secret past, the past comes out to bury you. Classic detective fiction meets a Pacific Northwest setting in this crime thriller perfect for fans of Mary Stone, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and Victor Methos.

Austin was still a nice main character and there were some new things revealed - intriguing! Anna was okay but I was missing the same group of detectives that were solving the case in the first book.

The case itself wasn't as intriguing & thrilling than in the first book. I love this kind of cases too but this was lacking something. The group of suspects wasn't really interesting and characters should have been more fleshed out.

CatLass007 I already have the first book in the series on my Audible wish list. I‘m going to take your review of this book as a recommendation for at least the first book in the series. And I am compelled to read series books in order. 2y
