About this audiobook
The scene of the crime is lavish but gruesome. In a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Cleveland, a woman's body lies gutted in a pool of blood on the marble floor. The victim is Joanna Moorehouse, founder of Sterling Financial, and the killer could be any one of her associates.
Maggie knows that to crack the case, she and Jack will have to infiltrate the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance. But the offices of Sterling Financial seethe with potential suspects, every employee hellbent on making a killing. When another officer uncovers disturbing evidence in a series of unrelated murders, the investigation takes a surprising detour.
Only Maggie recognizes the blood-soaked handiwork of a killer who has committed the most heinous of crimes—and will continue to until he is stopped. Burdened with unbearable secrets, Maggie must make an agonizing choice—while her conscience keeps telling her that she's next.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am in the mortgage business so I had a really hard time with this book. Being around it for 8 hours a day, I didn't want to spend my "off time" reading about what I do. It was too heavily focused on the financial crisis. When the story wasn't focused on the mortgage industry, the storyline was great. I love Lisa Black's books and hate to give a less than positive review.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have always like the relationship and the chemistry between Maggie and Jack...and this one started out as if that relationship would continue and perhaps even grow...AND THEN...suddenly we are bogged down in a quagmire of information about financial interests and mortgage backed securities. I found myself skipping over a lot of it. The saving grace was another murder and the chase to find the killer before he killed again...with Maggie as the possible target.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the 3rd in the Maggie Gardiner and Jack Renner series. It's best to read the series in order as the first book explains the relationship between Maggie and Jack. Basically they both have secrets they don't want exposed and the author lacks giving enough information to the reader in book 2 and 3. She just assumes that the reader already knows about their relationship. The author also tries to educate the reader in each of her books. The subject matter in this book is the mortgage business, banking and crooked lenders. If you are not interested in the subject, you may find the information boring but she carefully researches her subjects and I do find that I do learn a lot from her books. Three women from Sterling Financial are murdered throughout the book. There are lots of suspects to surf through with lots of action and suspense. A surprise twist at the end that I did not see coming makes for an enjoyable read. The book is well-written and researched and I look forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to those who like mystery books with lots of forensic detail.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Perish by Lisa BlackGardiner and Renner #3Mixed feelings on this one…Liked:*The truce/tension between Gardiner & Renner*The forensics*The unraveling of the mysteryDisliked: *The deadly dull details of finances, *Cheating mortgage companies and corrupt people working for the company *The final tie-in of perhaps why the serial killer was killingThis series is a good one in general but the author does like to educate and if the reader is not into what the topic being taught is they may, as I did, skip over quite a bit that does not pertain to the murder-mystery and relationship between Gardiner & Renner. In some ways I would like for the two main characters to bond or develop a relationship that is not tense but…that would take many books, I think. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars
