In this twisty domestic suspense novel with a touch of dark humor, a struggling valet driver with a shady side hustle and a soft spot for the ladies suspects that one of his targets might be a serial killer.

It’s tough to get by in Honolulu these days. Prices are high. Salaries are low. Which is why Johnny Silva tells himself he’s not doing anything that bad. The people he and his girlfriend target have a lot of insurance—and a lot of jewelry.

But when not one, but two guests from the resort where he works turn up murdered in a similar manner, Johnny starts to suspect that one of his targets, a regular at The Grand Royal Hotel, is the serial killer terrorizing Honolulu. When the cops start questioning him, Johnny suspects that someone is trying to frame him. Does his girlfriend know he's been chatting up his ex? Does his co-worker know his dark secrets? Are there other enemies out to get him? Then Johnny becomes a person of interest in the case, and he’ll stop at nothing to find the real murderer, even if a stone-cold killer might be a little too close for comfort. And even if it might cost him his life.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kaira Rouda, Daniel Hurst, Emily Shiner, and Shari Lapena.

As I’d already read the physical book, I knew what to expect. But it was really nice picking up on the bits I’d forgotten and seeing how everything fit together when you already know the ending.

The narrator was brilliant and really captured Johnny’s character.

When I first read it, I wrote:
“My theories changed constantly, and the story kept me guessing right to the end. The characters connected so smoothly, and the modern elements added an extra layer I really enjoyed.”

Listening to it only reinforced that.

I loved experiencing the story mainly from Johnny’s perspective, with brief snippets from other characters to keep the plot moving.

When a local woman turns up dead, Johnny and his coworkers begin forming their own theories. As guests and staff become increasingly tangled up in the case, Johnny makes it his mission to make sure the blame doesn’t fall on him, taking matters into his own hands to uncover the truth.
