Sheriff Billie Gray calls on Solomon Shepard once more to tackle an investigation into the murder of a criminal defense attorney in this heart-pounding thriller from the bestselling author of A Killer’s Wife.

When a local criminal defense attorney turns up dead, Sheriff Billie Gray arrives on the scene. At first glance, the lawyer’s death looks like suicide. But Billie knows better: this was murder.

To assist with the investigation, Billie calls on her old friend Solomon Shepard, who isn’t so eager to accept. After a traumatic attack left him mentally in shambles, Solomon is on indefinite leave from the county attorney’s office. But Billie needs him. And he can’t say no to Billie.

As Billie and Solomon hurtle into the investigation, they soon realize the killer may be closer to them than they ever thought possible. Can they catch a killer who anticipates their every move—before they find themselves in the crosshairs?

Oh man, Soloman! This dude is a tragic hero. How many horrific things can happen to one person? Also, this novel is set three years after book two. And, sadly, nothing happened between Solomon and Billie… until the end and, even then, we are not witness to it.

Wrap Up for the Series

I have yet to read/listen to a book by Victor Methos that I haven't found captivating. My only criticism for the male narrator of this book is that he gave the female characters a southern drawl. The setting takes place in Utah so maybe I missed something from an earlier book with the same characters. And when the female narrator read her chapters, she did it without the drawal. Might be helpful to be consistent.

Chilling and riveting

I love the Shepard and Gray series. Solomon and Billie have a wonderful dynamic and work so well together. I love the way they work together to solve cases. The mystery in this book was good and the story was gripping. I highly recommend this series and Victor Methos in general, he is a fantastic author. The narrators did a pretty good job with the story and all the characters were incredible.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this series!

I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering Victor Methos's novels; the Shepherd & Gray series is no exception. I have the same two questions as I did for the second novel: why was an additional narrator added? did the narrators record their dialogue without knowing the other one was also reading for the same novel?
Timothy and Bailey had completely different voices/accents for Solomon and Billie; Billie was a Yankee and a Southerner in the same book?! Why did the producers allow this to happen?

The story line kept me engaged, but the whole point of an audiobook is having a narrator bring the story to life, not confusing the listener.

The third novel still has issues!

This was the last of a 3-book series, and it was disappointing. The story itself was good. I just am not a fan of the way it all played out. Victor Methos does a good job of twists and turns to keep you off guard. Even though I did not like this one as much as the other 2 it was still a good read.
