The First Cut

Doctors of Darkness, Book 3

By: Ellery A. Kane

Narrated by: Kristin James

There's a thin line between love and murder.

When "Love Doctors" Ian and Kate Culpepper are brutally murdered in their Carmel mansion on Valentine's Day, Ava knows it's karma. Because Ian's leaving her for perfect Kate four years ago had cut her bone deep. And then they had the nerve to show up here, on her turf. With their perfect house and their perfect daughter and their matching perfect smiles.

It's no wonder Ava can't stop watching. It's no wonder she can't let go.

But Ian is far from perfect, and Ava owes a debt too. For the unforgivable thing they'd done together. The dark deed that severed their marriage in two. When Ava's name is found inked in blood at the crime scene, a reckoning seems inevitable. Someone knows what she's hiding. Someone sees what she's done. And karma is ready to collect its pound of flesh.

About the series....

Straight from the mind of a forensic psychologist comes an addictive new series of betrayal, lust, revenge, and murder. These doctors earned their degrees from the dark side. And once you start listening, you won't be able to stop.

Realistic and gripping psychological thriller

This is a stand-alone novel having no characters in common with the previous books in this series. It's a realistic psychological thriller that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's pacing is a little slow and might seem a bit confusing in the beginning, but all is fully resolved by the satisfying end.

Kristin James does a fabulous job of voicing the characters, both male and female. I caught a couple of very minor mispronunciations, but overall, her performance is excellent.

Great Listen!

loved the twisty and entertaining stories in this series awesome narration hope there is more!!!

Kistin James is excellent!

I have to admit, I was completely caught up in this story by writer Ellery A. Kane. This genre is not generally where I land when perusing for my next book. However, I assure you I read every word. The story is compelling. I believe it definitely touches anyone who has struggled with unusual family circumstances and the scars they can leave behind. There are so many factors that shape who we become and how we deal with the exceptions in life. The wonderful audible performance by Kristin James is outstanding and is definitely a plus. -Mr.Bill

A thrilling thriller...

I received this audio book for free in exchange for a honest review.....

I really really liked this book. I have never read any other books in this series or by this author. It's not always easy getting into a book after 2 others have been written, but if I didnt know this was a 3rd book, I would have never had a clue. Oh, the narrator did an amazing job. She did perfectly. her voice fit the main role and she pulled off the other characters voices very well too. The book was a tiny bit on the creepy side, but that's the stuff I love! but I will definitely looking into the rest of the series. x0x0x 😘
