Great listen

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t too heavy but still kept me guessing. The narrator was fabulous.

Sandy and Maya

What a great start to a new series, very robust characters that are not victims of their circumstance Maya, a private detective Sandy, a very privileged PTO mom come together in an unexpected way to protect their kids, reputations and school District. Sadie is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done, and her dressing up as a prostitute within the first couple hours shows her that she’s a ride, or die. Mays from the other side of the tracks. Still married to an incarcerated disgraced police chief, but not letting any of that dirt stick on her.

I sure hope this is the beginning of a series. I loved the book. The characters and the story were first rate!
