Publisher's summary

A gripping story of friendship and murder from acclaimed author Margot Hunt—created as an immersive audio experience!

Tessa and Charlie have been best friends since childhood. Now Tessa is a famous travel writer who documents her adventures on social media while Charlie rarely leaves the safety of her home, living in fear after narrowly escaping a vicious attack years earlier. But despite their different lives, their bond of friendship remains unbreakable...even in death.

When Tessa is found murdered in her luxurious French Quarter hotel, the New Orleans police go down the wrong trail. Knowing the killer is still out there, Charlie must do the unthinkable in order to solve the crime: face her fears and step outside her comfort zone. She starts her own social media channel, hoping to find someone who saw Tessa on the night she was killed, and travels to New Orleans to investigate Tessa’s final days—all the while knowing that the killer may come for her too.

This twisty, harrowing thriller will remind you that even in our most frightening moments, we can somehow summon the courage to survive.

Nice!

I really enjoyed this story. Good performances. It's not an action packed thriller... with cussing, sex and tons of violence, but a refreshingly nice well-written sweet story.

Entertaining

As someone from New Orleans I was impressed by the vast majority of things pronounced correctly. 3.5 stars. on that note, when pronouncing The French Quarter, the accent is on "French". But kudos for not saying New Or-LEENS.

Predictable and a bit cheesy

Predictable and something about the narration made it a bit cheesy. Enjoyable enough for a casual listen.

Easy listen - fairly predictable

Appreciate it this one was free. I think I would’ve been disappointed if I paid for it.
It was a cute story, even though there was a murder involved . It was an easy listen, not bone chilling. This one will not keep you up at night.
I found it to be quite predictable, but worth the listen.

Great to pass the time by.

Slightly predictable but interesting enough to hang in until the end. Good to clean the house to.

Good and held my attention!

I enjoy a good murder mystery book. This one had a good plot and was not too obvious. Enjoyed the main character’s personality.
