Darcy Ryan is a woman on a mission. A mission to take down the corrupt cops who ensured her best friend, Matteo Torres, went to jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Darcy is willing to do just about anything to prove his innocence, including getting up close and personal with lead detective, Finn Drake. She knows she’s playing a dangerous game, but it gets more dangerous than she could have ever … could have ever imagined when she discovers everything she thought she knew about Rebecca Torres was wrong, and Finn Drake isn’t the man she thought he was either.
Darcy’s life and her best friend’s freedom are on the line. With her entire world turned on its head and time running out, she has to decide. Should she take a chance on Drake and go against her gut instincts, or go it alone and pray she can find the killer before he finds her?

A murder mystery. I really enjoyed it and was filled with anticipation as the plot progressed, I wanted to know who had framed Darcy’s best friend as much as she did.
Matteo Torres was convicted or murdering his wife, he’s innocent but all the evidence is pointed to the scorned husband and his best friend Darcy vows to prove his innocence and in doing so is prepared to put her life on the line by trying to get close to one of the investigators on the case who she thinks is corrupt and had a hand in putting her friend behind bars.
From the moment Darcy sets off on her miss Marple investigation journey, even her relationship with the Detective Finn takes a surprising turn and the hero becomes someone she believed to be the villain but who did it?.
Reasonable doubts is a gripping story full of twists and turns, Its a page turner with an unpredictable plot.
I listened to Reasonable Doubts in audio and I have to say this is the first audio I have listened to where the whole book is narrated by a man. I liked it. The narrator didn’t try and make himself sound like a woman with Darcy’s pov which can be annoying when a male narrator does that but he softened his tone.
I am an avid audiobook reader, listening to hundreds of books a year, so I am critical of narrators since they can make or break when a great book goes to audio. I prefer books with multiple narrators, so there is less chance of character voice confusion, and voices that are ‘easy on the ears’. The narrators in this book has a great voice for male characters, but I did not care for the female one. It just wasn’t ‘female enough’ for me. That said, his voice overall was very easy on the ears and the story itself was enough to keep me listening, and I say that very seldom since I am one that will return a book because of a bad narrator.
Next is the story. I am not one to give a lot of specific story details since I feel you should read the story for that, and in this case, you won’t be disappointed. This book has great characters that you want to keep listening to see how they develop. The storyline was captivating and kept me guessing, which also doesn’t happen very often. I am looking forward to listening to more of her books!
I received a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I enjoyed reading this book. I was surprised by the turn of events in what happened in the book. I feel like the author could have maybe wrote the book a little bit longer and taken Darcy and Finn’s story a little bit further. I know that the whole story was about Darcy getting Matteo out of Jail and doing whatever it took and in end falling for Finn. But I feel afterwards they could have gone alittle bit more into what happens for her and Finn possibly. Overall I really enjoyed the story.
