“I ended up devouring the entire book in just one sitting… I was completely pulled into this one and found myself completely unable to put this down.” Little Miss Book Lover 87, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

It’s been five years since Detective Amanda Steele’s life was derailed by the tragic death of her young daughter. The small community of Dumfries, Virginia, may have moved on, but Amanda cannot. When the man who killed Lindsey is found murdered, she can’t keep away from the case.

 

Fighting her sergeant to be allowed to work such a personal investigation, Amanda is in a race to prove that she can uncover the truth. But the more she digs into the past of the man who destroyed her future, the more shocking discoveries she makes. And when Amanda finds the link between a silver bracelet in his possession and the brutal unsolved murder of a young woman five years ago, she realizes she’s caught up in something darker than she ever imagined and suspects that more girls could be in danger.

 

But as Amanda edges toward the truth, she gets closer to a secret as personal as it is deadly. Amanda has stumbled upon a dangerous killer, and she must face some terrible truths in order to catch this killer – and save his next victim as she couldn’t save her own daughter…

 

A gripping, page-turning thriller full of mystery and suspense. Perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Regan and Robert Dugoni.

Ratings and reviews

*possibly some spoilers* Great storyline, wonderfully made characters, enough tension and push and pull. I would have loved a more detailed ending on the reunion of the family, what happened to Isobel, Luke, and the whole family. Would have loved to have Cathy at the end having her daughter back. felt like the end was too fast and abrupt after all the trnsion build up. Otherwise, a great read that included a lot of wide-eyed, arm slapping, breath paausing moments! will read more from Carla! Did

I enjoyed this book..can't say I loved it...it's good starting out but anything to dowith abused kids just isn't my type of thriller/suspense, it makes my blood boil for these lost children abd what happens to them...I know it's only fiction nut things like this did happen to kids in the Catholic church.
