Description
The woman is kneeling at a gravestone, her hair blowing in the breeze, a bunch of wilting yellow daffodils on the grass beside her. Her eyes are fixed on the ground and her mouth is parted in a silent prayer. But the wax dripping from her cold blue lips means it’s already too late to save her…
On her first day back with the Denton PD after a major trauma, Detective Josie Quinn is on the hunt for a missing woman, Krystal Duncan, the mother of one of five children killed in a devastating school bus crash. Hours later, Josie finds Krystal’s body beside her daughter’s grave, her lips sealed together forever with wax.
Forensics match the wax to one of the candles lit in memory of the sweet little souls who died, giving Josie her first lead to a support group made up of the parents who lost children in the crash. Painstakingly dissecting the lives of these grieving couples, it’s clear to Josie that each of them is hiding something about the day of the accident—but whose secret is worth killing for?
The case takes an agonizing turn when the body of another young mother is found near the site of the bus crash. Someone connected to the accident is out for revenge. As the members of the support group are picked off one by one, every second counts for Josie to save the lives of these loving parents who have already suffered the loss of those they treasured most…
An absolutely gripping and totally unputdownable crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Be warned, this book will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

Her Deadly Touch
5By Ralphnun1Wow what a story!!!! Never figured it out on who done it!!! Excellent.Her deadly touch
5By Grandma Fox 85What a fantastic pleasure to have read this book. Nothing else needs to be said. Ole grandmaGreat plots and stories
4By jhapa texanThe stories have great plots. Probably way too many murders and serial killers for a 30,000 person town. The plots are good enough and original enough to overcome all the emotional baggage that detective Quinn goes on and on about. I got very tired of that as I read the stories. Clearly a five star or above rating without that stuff or even hat aspect toned down. I really like the storylines though and will most likely continue the series.Wonderfully written
5By maryellen 66This book kept me on the edge of my seat, gripping thriller. I would recommend this book to anyone. Can’t wait for Lisa’s next book.Good but not as good as her others
4By kaycoops88I love every book in this series. They are all pretty fast paced and suspenseful with a lot of action. This book was pretty slow and boring. Not what the author typically writes. I love Josie and Noah. She was just sort of whiny in this book. Hopefully the next one in the series is better.Read It!!!
5By TeawineI loved it. I couldn’t put it down. Every time I thought I had it figured out there was another twist. One of my favorite reads in the last few years.
