Bad Girl

Hush Money Mystery Series, Book 2

By: T. E. Woods

Narrated by: Xe Sands

Sydney Richardson already has her hands full running two successful Madison, Wisconsin, eateries and enjoying the company of handsome blues bar owner Clay Hawthorne. She doesn't have the time or patience for his ex's homecoming.

Two decades ago, Miranda Greer abandoned Clay with their infant child. Now she claims she wants to make amends, reconnect with her son, and settle down. None of which is to Sydney's liking, because behind Miranda's chic, saccharine façade, Sydney senses something very bad.

Bad quickly turns to worse when Miranda is found brutally murdered, with hard evidence pointing to Clay as the killer. Determined to clear him, Sydney launches her own investigation. But as Sydney digs into Miranda's past, she soon runs afoul of an enigmatic corporation that's part church, part business, and all-powerful when it comes to keeping its secrets buried - and its enemies silent.

Maybe better than the first book.

Hush Money, the first in the series, was excellent, and Bad Girl was as good or better. Characters are interesting and well developed, as is the story line. I came to this series because they are read by Xe Sands, one of my favorite narrators.

Great book and loved Madison Wisconsin and spotted

Great book and loved Madison Wisconsin and spotted reference in the book. Loved Sidney and Clay as a couple

Love the series BUT

I love this series but a little annoyed that someone who has a loving adopted family is soooo obsessed about being left behind by biological parents.
I know, some people can’t get over the hurt but Sydney is an intelligent, loved person. I don’t know, I guess I need to be in her shoes. Still, the 2nd book is good.

So so good

Great story and narration. Very enjoyable Xe Sands is fabulous!
Always love to listen to her.

Great series...

I was just getting ready to write a review and saw the Audible reviewer Wayne has beat me to the punch! His critique of this book is spot on.
The only thing I would add to his review is how enjoyable and entertaining I find the books written by T E Woods. In this book the characters are all believable if not all likable.
In this book the mother (Miranda) of Clay's son is murdered. Of course Clay is the prime suspect. Although Sydney and Clay are having problems, she's the first one to go to Miranda's hometown to get some history.m and try to clear Clay. Seems the church leader (where Miranda worked) had Sydney checked out and promptly escorted her out with a warning not to return. Sydney can't help but think that someone is setting Clay up, but who? It won't be who you think it is!
Xe Sands does an excellent job narrating.
This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
