the setup…
It’s been ten years since corporate attorney Josh King left Austin and settled in Denver, leaving his younger sister Kinsey and estranged mother Lauren Snow behind. While he has a strong relationship with Kinsey, Josh has no desire to to reconnect with his mother. But when he receives a frantic call from Kinsey, begging him to come home after stepfather Tower Snow was found murdered in their home, Josh relents. He’s further stunned when Lauren, the city’s influential mayor, is arrested and wants him to represent her. She may be ruthless and cunning but Josh doesn’t believe she could be a murderer…could she?
the heart of the story…
I immediately was curious about the rift between Josh and Lauren as I tried to decide for myself whether she’d killed her husband. That backstory developed nicely, offering some angles and turns that immersed me in the mystery. While Josh has no background in criminal defense, his investigative skills were believable. I was hooked.
the narration…
Austin Rising had the ideal voice for Josh, making me believe the character. What surprised me was how well he voiced the female characters! And, he’s a wonderful storyteller.
the bottom line…
There’s something about how Zunker crafts his stories that just draws me in and won’t let go. He’s become one of my auto read authors and I making my way through his backlist. Loved how this turned out and let’s just say karma rules.
