Welp, this one didn’t quite work for me. Mitch and Abby McDeere are living in Manhattan where Mitch is a partner for the largest law firm in the world. Life is great until Mitch’s mentor asks him for a favor and once again, Mitch is pulled into a world of lies, sinister plots, danger, and risk.

This book felt like more a spy thriller as there is a kidnapping, murders, danger galore, meetings, phone calls, negotiations, and risky situations.

I had high hopes for this book and felt a little let down. Fifteen years is a long time, and I was hoping for more on what happened with the mob, the money, and their lives after they fled Memphis? How did Mitch land so well on his feet? Did I miss something?

While this story was enjoyable, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I had high hopes and maybe they got a little in my way. I finished this book feeling underwhelmed.

Thank you to Doubleday Books, and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
