    About this audiobook

    A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast—and died young. Now it seems Meredith's last scam—embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund—is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. An email just arrived in which Meredith—in fear for her life—explains that the money is waiting for Leonora in an offshore account...and a safe-deposit key is on the way.

    Leonora wants nothing to do with the tainted money. She's already been accused of being in on the theft by Thomas Walker—who, it seems, was a victim of Meredith's knack for both scams and seductions. Eager to prove him wrong, Leonora sets out to collect the cash and hand it over.

    But she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box. One is a book about Mirror House—a mansion filled with antique mirrors, where Meredith engineered her final deception. The other is a set of newspaper stories about a thirty-year-old murder that occurred there—unsolved to this day.

    Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker. She'll hand over the money—if he helps her figure out what's happening. Meredith had described Walker as 'a man you can trust.' But in a funhouse-mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league.

    • 4/5
      A romance and mystery from an established author is really more romance than a mystery but with solid plotting and plenty of character theories you will be satisfied by both.
    • 4/5
      Leonora Hutton just wants to find out what happened to Meredith Spooner - after all, it isn't every day someone leaves you over a million dollars in embezzled funds. When Thomas Walker meets Leonora he wants two things - to help his brother discover who murdered his wife, and the money back. When he leaves, he wants one more thing: Leonora.Well-matched main characters, embezzled money, drugs, mysterious goings on in a creepy old manor house... just didn't grab me like I thought it would Readable, but not stellar.
    • 4/5
      I love action, suspense and romance combined together to make it even more exciting. Leonora a librarian goes in to investigate her step-sister’s murderer and meets with Thomas how is great with his tools as a handyman and swipes her over her feet
    • 4/5
      My first book by Jayne Ann Krentz, she did very well. Love and murder mixed very well in this one
