Book Summary
After her entanglement in several homicide investigations, psychologist Natalie Marsh is determined to avoid further trouble. But when her intern needs help monitoring and calming family drama for the duration of a party, Natalie steps up. After all, acting as a peacemaker at a fundraising gala seems relatively risk-free in comparison to her past escapades—what could happen at a dance? When an argument between feuding guests becomes assault, Natalie realizes the situation is more complicated than she anticipated, with one man at the center of it all: Rowan Montrose.
Four years ago, Rowan’s brother was convicted of murdering his wife. But Rowan believes there’s more to the story, suspecting that the real murderer is walking free. His romantic interest in the younger sister of a police detective renders him more determined than ever to clear the family name. Familiar with Natalie’s reputation, he seeks out her assistance. Natalie tries to decline—she’s no private detective—but as frightening incidents unfold, it’s clear she’s in the middle of this whether she wants to be or not, and breaking through the layers of deception that hide the truth may have lethal consequences.

My Review
The Natalie Marsh Mystery Series has been so good and all of the stories, although connected, have also been very different. This novel held many surprises and things I didn't guess until almost the end. Natalie Marsh is a psychologist by trade. The problem is, she always finds herself in the middle of some murder mystery. Her poor husband has a hard time keeping up with her and gets so stressed worrying about Natalie...and for good reason. It's like trouble sniffs her out despite her always trying to do the right thing and help people.
There is a lot of action; car chases, homicide, drugging, and kidnapping to name a few. Please know, there is nothing too graphic in the storytelling. As far as crazy twists and turns you will find plenty of them. Just when you think you can sit back and proudly say you know what is happening, you're in for another curveball that leaves you wondering what you just read.
If you are a fan of this series it's an absolute must that you read this fifth book. If you've never read a Natalie Marsh Mystery, you could read this and still enjoy it but like I always recommend, you'll have a much richer experience with the characters if you've read the previous books. Stephanie Black has another hit on her hands with Come, Gentle Night.
