In Sounds of Someday by Linda Opdyke, private investigator Mickey Calhoun navigates a complex web of deception, stalking, and murder. She finds herself on opposite sides of a case with her husband, Ethan, who is also an investigator. Mickey's client, Vanessa, claims her ex-lover, Rogers, is stalking her and sending different men to harass her after she refused to help him kill his wife. However, Rogers, who is Ethan's client, asserts that Vanessa is an obsessive ex-mistress harassing him and his family. As Mickey investigates further, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying. The plot thickens when Vanessa develops an attachment to Bowen, one of Mickey’s colleagues, and Rogers' wife is murdered. When Mickey’s life is threatened multiple times, Ethan and she realize that collaborating on this case might be more beneficial than working against each other.

Sounds of Someday is an engaging story that immerses readers in a mind-twisting investigation. It combines romance, mystery, and suspense, featuring interesting characters with complex personalities. What makes this story unique is how it introduces suspicious characters without immediately revealing their intricate connections or motives. I found myself glued to the book, eager to discover the reasons behind the crimes and how they were committed. Linda Opdyke skillfully uses unexpected revelations to keep the narrative interesting. Moments like Mickey traveling to New Orleans, Ethan working for Rogers, and Miller’s disastrous actions hit the reader unexpectedly, leaving them shocked and craving more.

I loved the chemistry and teamwork between the characters and how Mickey and Ethan support one another. Overall, this is a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys crime mysteries filled with twists and turns.
