About this listen
Dare Buckley has come home - or at least, he's come back to Palladian, the small town he left as a teenager. After a major lapse in judgment forced him to resign from the Seattle PD, Palladian is the only place that'll hire him. There's one benefit to hitting rock bottom, though: the chance to investigate the mystery of his father's suicide.
Dare also gets to reacquaint himself with Finn Fowler, whose childhood hero worship ended in uncomfortable silence when Dare moved away. But Finn isn't the same little kid Dare once protected. He's grown into an attractive, enigmatic stranger who neither wants nor needs what Dare has to offer.
In fact, Dare soon realizes that Finn's keeping secrets - his own and the town's. And he doesn't seem to care that Dare needs answers. The atmosphere in Palladian, like its namesake river, appears placid, but dark currents churn underneath. When danger closes in, Dare must pit his ingenuity against his heart, and find his way home the hard way.

Lovely story
I really enjoyed this whodunnit. And the relationship between the two main characters. It was very complex. Narration was great, it took me a little bit to get used to it, but he really acted the parts.

won't read any more Maxfield.
I had hoped for less steamy graphic sex but this was not to be. The basic plot line is good, as with the last one but Maxfield needs to decide whether it's a porn novel or a crime story. I fast forwarded all the sex in the end. I have no objection to romance in a story or a bit of description of the sex but this goes on for pages and pages. I'd rather have heard more about how the relationship developed emotionally and less about the physical.

Good story
I really liked the story. The narration was good, but I think sometimes the quality of the recording wasn’t good. This storyline has sexual fetishes, as well as dominant play.

I couldn't visualise this
It wasn't real. Maybe it was the exaggerated style of the reader not fitting with the story; maybe it was me.
I rated it as a measure of my enjoyment.

alright, but...
I really don't hope people actually is like this in real life. Blaming a girl for/young woman for their dirtbag partners cheating? Blaming the son?!?
are people IRL like this? I hopefully newer meet them - or they will get a pice of my mind. Especially if they call themselves good and Christian. It is not good nor Christian to blame others for your own failings as a human or a family. Get your crap together and deal like an adult.
otherwise an okay book.

plenty of suspense and intrigue
What a read! This story has everything. Fear, betrayal, jealousy, secrets, dominance, loss, death, murder, discrimination and unconditional love. It keeps me guessing until the end with its twists and turns. All the characters were intriguing. Something is always happening to keep me glued to the pages. There's something intriguing about this author's writing.
The narrator did a fantastic job presenting the story.

Good story
Well written interesting story with likeable, realistically flawed characters. The narration though was overly dramatic.

Kept my interest.
It’s a great story with lots of surprises along the way,it kept my interest throughout. I found myself incredibly frustrated by one of the main characters,I totally wanted to smack him upside the head at times but he didn’t disappoint me at the end.

Extraordinary account of loss grief & dark desires
Beautifully written tale of a towns hatred and mixed feelings towards a broken family. Two childhood friends separated when one moves away. Years later they are reunited, they find out that their friendship was made out of lies. The pair try to get that innocent bond back but much has changed, the hero and protector now needs his friend to fight for him to rid him of his own demons. Will friendship and love win out?
Spoiler ***
Really felt for these characters. I felt I wanted more of them together happy as the ending seemed to cut off. Not with a cliffhanger but not fully complete....... maybe I am just being demanding and wanting more! 😉
