4.5 stars for narration by Greg Boudreaux
You know the saying, "That was a meeting that should have been an email?" Well, this was a book that should have been a novella. There was a decent love story and a very small mystery plot (very small), but the combination wasn't enough to sustain even a shortish (6 hour) audiobook. There was a lot of filler that didn't move the story forward, mainly because there wasn't much story. Closeted racecar driver has crash, flirts with closeted PT. Will they won't they? Yes, no, maybe, and then yes again. It will ruin my career to come out! Mine, too! Repeat as needed. Boring.
The question of maybe the accident wasn't an accident was little more than an afterthought and if you sneezed you missed the entire culmination. Seriously! I rewound several times trying to see what I missed. That ending didn't seems feasible. Spoiler Alert! (You were warned.)
The only reason I'm being this generous is the narration is excellent as usual!

Spoiler
The investigators didn't find anything, but two women (a wife and girlfriend of drivers) figured out what was probably happening, alerted the team owner, who alerted the authorities and it was all buttoned up in a matter of a day or two??The only reason I'm being this generous is the narration is excellent as usual!
