Tom Scot and Kate Swift reunited at the Satori semiannual transition workshop. The two had a previous encounter where their feelings grew, but external circumstances prevented them from pursuing a relationship due to their histories. Detective Sanchez and Sergeant O'Malley were tasked with investigating an incident involving Malcolm in Satori. Malcolm was known as a player and had many enemies. Right as Kate was looking forward to a break from her responsibilities during her stay at the Satori workshop and the possibility of starting something new with Tom, her involvement took an unexpected turn when Sanchez discovered her true identity as a U.S. Marshal. Readers will discover Malcolm's fate and the evolving connection between Kate and Tom as the plot unfolds. What happened to Malcolm? What happens to Kate and Tom? Pick up a copy of Death is Potential by Bob Burnett to unravel this mystery and love story.

I found some aspects of the book to be enjoyable. As I read about how individuals in the transition workshop shared their personal experiences, I realized how crucial love and having a dependable presence during tough times are—someone who offers unwavering support without bias. Kate's remarkable courage and compassion were striking; regardless of her standing, she connected with her fellow participants. I felt a strong curiosity to uncover the identity of the culprit behind the theft from Malcolm's secure box at home and the reasons behind the placement of surveillance cameras in the victims' residences. Tom's portrayal as a caring and supportive individual added depth to the story, and his role in untangling the mysteries surrounding the crimes in Satori was commendable. I applaud the author's narrative style for crafting a fictional tale that subtly imparts valuable life lessons.

Some aspects of the book did not resonate with me. Cheryl, functioning as a therapist, didn't discover resolutions to her dilemmas. I sensed her isolation due to the absence of two cherished individuals. As a therapist, she experienced burnout and might have pursued therapy, just as she guided her clients in overcoming their obstacles.

I found no mistakes, so it is extraordinarily well-edited. Tom and Kate stand out as my preferred characters. Their dynamic imparts valuable life lessons to readers.

Due to the aspects of the book I enjoyed, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to adult readers who love romance, detective, crime, and mystery genres.

I’m torn by whether I would like this book or not. On one hand, I am drawn to the mysteries that I see here, but on the other I really dislike romance and I don’t want to become involved with another series right now.

I love the story line. I can imagine how Kate felt when she was about to start a new life some where else and forget about her past just for some one else to dig it back up.

The reviews I have been reading drew my attention to this book genre. I haven't been reading C/T/M/H novel, but I believe there are lessons to be learnt from them.
This is a captivating and mind-hacking read with a compelling review and I long to read this book and see what you've read.
I like your review. Good job.
