About this listen

Sometimes, the past is better left buried.

When the matriarch of a rich Seattle family dies under suspicious circumstances, private investigator Thomas Austin is on the case. This time, the suspect list is easy.

Seven people were in the lakefront mansion with the millionaire when she died: a spoiled son, a jealous brother-in-law, a beloved chef, a rebellious grandson, an arrogant memoirist, and a pair of successful daughters. All had motive. All had opportunity. But which one is the killer?

To solve the case, Austin must look into the past of one of Seattle's most powerful families. With the help of a fiery reporter and a long-lost diary, he uncovers a series of dark secrets that betray the criminal underbelly of old-money Seattle.

But the closer Austin gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. Sometimes, when you dig into a secret past, the past comes out to bury you.

Classic detective fiction meets a Pacific Northwest setting in this crime thriller perfect for fans of Mary Stone, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and Victor Methos.

This is the second Thomas Austin crime book that I have listened to. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the characters took on a life of their own and it was a long time before it became clear what was happening.. Not say more or I could spoil it for you.

This is a good story, well told without undue violence or bloodshed but still maintaining a tense atmosphere, with an exciting chase and suitable ending. But it isn't 'cosy', like some other crime books on audible. It's realistic and intriguing.
