In Hank fashion you have this going on here, and that going on there, and then this over here and it takes the whole story to untangle it all. This was an intricate web of a story and I really wasn't sure who was playing who at first. Ned was recently acquitted of a drunk driving murder charge and yet it seems someone is not happy with that outcome and is determined to get Ned behind bars when his lawyer is mowed down and all arrows point back to Ned. Arden was hired by Ned's wife to try and get his reputation back so maybe they can have a normal life again but Arden seems to get stuck between husband and wife while Ned now has another potential murder charge hanging over his head. But Arden knows that something is off and secrets are being withheld from her. Damage control means knowing everything and being a head of the problem but these two just seem to complicate things and now Ned is once again fighting for his freedom, his wife can't believe this happened again and Arden is trying to untangle what is really going on. I did enjoy this storyline and there were a few unexpected zingers that Hank always gets you with. Thank you to Thriller Book Lovers Promotions for the invite and to the author and NetGalley for the free ebook. This review is of my own opinion and accord.
