Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Amazon Publishing, Brilliance Publishing for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest book by the wonderful Robert Dugoni, and the second in the Keera Duggan series, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Saskia Maarleveld – 5 stars!
Jenna Bernstein, disgraced CEO of a controversial biotech company, is accused of murdering her former partner and lover. Three years early, Keera Dugan’s father successfully defended Jenna when she was tried for killing the company’s chief medical scientist who threatened to go public with allegations of corporate fraud. Jenna now wants Keera to defend her against the latest allegations, but Jenna and Keera have a history since childhood, and Keera knows that trouble follows Jenna.
Dugoni has done it again, written a gripping police procedural/legal thriller that kept me guessing until the end. I really like Keera’s character – smart, confident, driven, flawed – and how she interacts with people both professionally and in her family life, especially with her dad. This book has Keera defending her childhood nemesis, and she doesn’t trust Jenna to be honest with her. But with so much on the line, the two must rely on each other. Keera’s chess prowess once again comes into play as she must think one step ahead. The ending was perfect and I can’t wait for more in this series!
