Not my favourite Lisa Gardner book, but she does write a really great page turner. And I love the focus on diverse characters that aren't often represented in books like this - but are also all too often the victims in cases like these.

As for the narration, Hillary Huber does a good job as far as inflection goes, and she does the main character perfectly. But I just couldn't get past certain things, like giving a born and bred Bostonian a Southern accent, or the teens' voices. Or the fact that it's clearly a white woman doing Black people's voices... It was distracting at times and pulled me out of the story.
I'm debating on getting the second book in Audible or just reading the ebook.
