Description

“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.

    While the author weaves an interesting story, the editors and proofreaders don’t do a very good job. Mistakes abound in grammar, tense, and other ways. Those mistakes intrude on my enjoyment of the book. I’ve always been an avid reader but never saw any errors in books I could hold in my hand. E-books are a whole different story. By the way, Xanax comes in tablets, not capsules!
  • Could not put it down!

    Can you pick yourself up after a terrible loss. You follow her as she works to do her job and try to keep herself from falling apart. You just can’t put the book down. The suspense is gripping.
