Hidden Motives

A Chesapeake Valley Mystery, Book 6

By: Elle Gray

Narrated by: Brittany Goodwin

“Don’t trust him.”
When a receptionist is found murdered outside of her ex-husband’s home, clutching a chilling note.
Sheriff Eve Wicker springs into action, interrogating the ex.

But shortly after, the main suspect is found dead from an apparent suicide.
And a baseball bat with his ex-wife’s blood is discovered inside his home.
It looks like an open and shut case of murder-suicide.

Until an odd clue leads Eve down an unimaginable rabbit hole.
A twisting tunnel with deception at every turn.

Forensics tell one story, but the anomalies scream another.
Eve’s instincts refuse to align with the evidence, pushing her to dig deeper.

Then she uncovers one clue that forever changes the lives of many in the small town.

Broken marriages, hidden agendas, and vipers in the grass.
There’s no one to trust, and nowhere to turn.
Now, Sheriff Eve Wicker must follow the trail of lies and face a deadly truth.

Trust no one.

Another Great Chesapeake Valley Mystery

I love this whole series. Mystery, romance. Well written. I was sorry to come to the end of the serries.

Another great one!

I couldn’t stop listening to this one - good twists and turns! Elle Gray crafted an engaging mystery with just enough romance woven in. Can’t wait for the next one!

Kenny

absolutely loved it just aa I have the whole season. very disappointed to hear that number 7 is the last book. why why why???

Great characters

I love the series and cannot wait for the next book. Cannot wait until it's out in Audiobook

Enjoyable but way too many characters to keep track of.

Narration was so so. Most of the women sounded the same as did the men. I kept having to go back to see who was talking. Lots of work to keep track of everybody
