3.5🌟
Stella Hudson is an attorney assigned to nine year old Rose. Rose's parents are going through a bitter divorce, both demanding sole custody of their beloved daughter. Stella has the most difficult task of determining what’s in Rose’s best interest.
Just to complicate things further, there is an additional issue.
The family’s nanny recently fell out of a second-floor window with dear Rose looking on. And she hasn’t spoken a word since.
As Stella digs deeper into Rose’s life she realizes this is a family harboring a host of secrets and she needs to tread carefully as she continues uncovering more lies!
I’ve been a huge fan of this author but this latest just failed to capture my interest. Was it the storyline? The characters? Though I had both digital and audio copy I chose the audio for the majority of the book. I wasn’t overly impressed with the narrator's performance and perhaps that distracted me from the book itself.🤷🏻♀️
Since I’m such a dedicated fan of this author I will be watching for her next offering. Maybe I’ll just stick with a digital copy!

I loved this one! Maybe it was the audio format? Terrific review! 💞

Sorry you didn’t enjoy this book more. I read the book in digital form as I still haven’t made the jump to audio yet, and I really enjoyed this one. I hope you enjoy your next read much more! Great review, Kaceey! 💗
I see this comes out in August. I thought I have read her work, and i have not!! I need to get on the band wagon. Excellent review Kaceey! I'm adding her as an author. Maybe not start with this one.
Sorry this one was somewhat underwhelming, Kaceey, but glad it hasn’t put you off the author. Fair and balanced review.
A fair assessment. Hope her next one is better for you.

Fair review, Kaceey!💜 I hope your next read is a winner. I had paired the e-arc with the audio, and I listen to it for the first half and then switched to my iPad.

I should have focused more on the digital version.💜

That’s a fair and honest review Kaceey 💓

Nice review, Kaceey!
Fair review, Kaceey! 💕 I haven't read this author yet, but when I do, I'll make sure not to begin with this one. I hope her next book works much better for you.

I hope you have a chance to pick up one of her books!💗

Fabulous review Kaceey 💖
Terrific review, Kaceey! Thanks for the heads up on the audio, since I have both formats. I'm sorry it pulled you out of the story! 💗
