Peyton knows the first suspect is always the husband, but Jake Ryder isn’t acting like a typical suspect. Jake truly loved his wife. So what went wrong? Stepping into the circle of the social elite, Peyton finds that things work differently when you’re at the top. And Jake Ryder seems to be caught in the epicenter. Ultimately, Peyton finds that you never know what darkness lurks in the human mind and that some will murder to keep that darkness hidden.
Another success! Proving the author can write in multiple genres. Once again, ML Hamilton has proven herself as an author. I love her “World of Samar” epic fantasy series and was interested to see how well she changed genres.Â
Disappointed As I started this book, I thought I was really going to enjoy it but it seems to veer off course a few times which distracted & irritated me.

Flawed by legal inaccuracies I found myself liking this book in spite of itself, mostly because of a good pace and some nice character development. However, the book is seriously flawed by unbelievable behavior on the part of the police officers.Â
