Always curious, still surprised, D.E. works to create intriguing worlds that we want to visit again and again.

This audiobook is a spectacular one, one that I enjoyed from the very beginning. I recommend it to just anyone and everyone who likes to read but, most importantly, for lovers of crime, murder, mystery, and suspense.
The Book Commentary
stunningly imagined and skillfully executed. … characters are multi-dimensional and relatable … a tale that is as much about unraveling a mystery as it is about unraveling the intricacies of human nature … the kind of entertainment readers hope to find in mystery thrillers.
