Undetermined Death

Ashley Montgomery, Book 2

By: Laura Snider

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

Public defender Ashley Montgomery's latest case will push her to the limit.

When teenager Rachel Smithson is charged with murdering her newborn baby in a hotel room, Ashley is appointed to represent her. Determined to prove her client innocent, Ashley delves into the secret life and relationships of the quiet teen, and turns up more questions than answers.

Meanwhile, Ashley's longtime friend and sometimes rival, police officer Katie Mickey, investigates the alleged murder with the aim of ensuring Rachel's conviction. Despite working against each other, the two women begin to share the same awful suspicions, and the tragic case takes an even darker turn when rumors surface that the father of Rachel’s baby is an adult in her life.

Then Ashley falls victim to a personal attack, and she and Mickey find themselves racing to unmask a different, far more dangerous offender.

Critic reviews

"Snider hits it out of the park.... This is an author you’ll add to your favorites list." (Carolyn Ridder Aspenson, USA Today best-selling author of Damaging Secrets)

The jury is still out

I haven’t yet decided if I like this series or not. This book is a definite improvement over book one. There is some solid character development but still some room to grow. The juvenile thoughts that the characters conveyed in book one are just about gone in this book, which is a good thing. But I have yet to see the strong women characters that I was hoping for in this series, which is the basis for my indecision for liking the series or not.
