A quiet stretch in Macomb County is interrupted by the death of a famous—or, rather, infamous—local personality.

Nick Butterfield is known by almost everybody. He’s famous for riding his bicycle, even in the dead of winter, knocking on car windows and flipping every member of the community off while unleashing a tirade of disgruntlement if they dare try to talk to him.

When he’s found dead near his favorite intersection, Avery Shaw assumes he was accidentally hit by a passing motorist. It was bound to happen eventually. The deputy on the scene, however, let’s a little something slip.

Nick wasn’t just hit by a vehicle, he was also shot. Who would want to kill a homeless man, though? Sure, Nick ticked off a lot of people with his antics, just not enough to kill him.

Avery is determined to find answers. Along the way, she’s distracted by a group on social media that she didn’t know existed until they featured an update on one of her cousins. Are We Dating the Same Guy turns into something fascinating, and maybe a little frightening. As she chases answers on Nick, she pokes local politicians about their cameos on her new favorite social media pages.

Then her two new passions show signs of colliding.

Who wanted Nick dead? Who would kill to keep their secrets from seeing the light of day?

Avery is about to find out. One way or another.

I adore Avery Shaw and her shenanigans. I wish releases were more frequent. If you haven’t tried this series, then you need to NOW!

Each book is better than the prior!

I love the Avery Shaw stories. I can't imagine a better narrator than Angel Clark for this series. The writing is top notch and the story moves at a good pace.

Avery is the best

As said above, the storylines and plot were great. And the performance was very good. It’s just that the narrator‘s voice as Avery is much more highly pitched than I find pleasant. (Yes, perhaps Avery is supposed to speak at high pitch.) Nevertheless, she did a great job of portraying all the right emotions, inflections, etc., and differences across characters so I can’t really say that her performance was anything other than quite good. I normally listen to audiobooks at about 1.3 to 1.5 speed. In this case, I slowed the narration speed to .8. That effectively lowered the narrator’s pitch; after I got used to it, I was able to take it up to a higher speed. I highly recommend the book and I would even listen to this narrator again because she does a great job, and I don’t see how she can change the high pitch of her voice on a regular basis.

Storylines were great
