Attorney Barbara Holloway receives a call from her father asking her to come home. Frank Holloway has accepted a case defending Nell Kendricks on the charge of murder. Nell's husband, Lucas Kendricks, disappeared nearly seven years ago, leaving her and their son behind. The day Lucas returned home, he is fatally shot. Nell was arrested for his murder. Franks needs Barbara's help on this capital murder case. Barbara needs to start digging into Lucas' whereabouts for the last seven years. Why did he never contact his wife and young son? And who actually killed Lucas?

This is the first book in the Barbara Holloway series. I picked up the audiobook on Audible and thought I'd give it a try. I found the story annoying and tedious. Even though the narrator, Anna Fields, is a favorite of mine, she couldn't rescue this story. The plot seemed muddled and included mathematics and chaos theory. Barbara meets a mathematician and begins a relationship with him. I wouldn't call it a romance since there was nothing romantic about it. The courtroom drama portion of the book was OK, but once it was over, the story just continued...on and on. Honestly, this was 15+ hours of my life that I'll never get back. My rating: 2 Stars.
