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.

    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.

    This book had me gripped from beginning to end. I’ve found it difficult caring about the detectives back story with other mystery/crime books but the way her story her case intertwined really made perfect sense and allowed me to care for the detective and her life just as much as I was rooting for her to solve the case. I definitely will look into other books within this series.

    I didn’t like the main character at all, she’s not strong enough and she’s a drug attic. I don’t like that.

    This is a great read full of suspense. There’s a lot of loss and death. The characters were fantastic and the story was a mystery until the end. I was surprised when the killer came forward. You never know how people react to loss.
  • Fine

    As a read, it flows. As a story, there are so many leaps in logic, strange plot points and poorly researched elements (apparently, AA keeps first and last name lists of sober people. REALLY?) Decent beach read, glad it wasn’t expensive.
  • Page turner!

    I got this book because it was on the "suggested" list in my books app and it was fairly cheap so I figured "why not?" Boy am I glad I purchased it! And I'll be buying the rest in the series as well before the price shoots up! I never wanted to stop reading. The term "page turner" isn't even good enough. This book was amazing!
