Summary

"I tried to talk to you today but you snubbed me and walked away. It wasn’t wise to give me the brush-off, Gemma. I can be a truly good friend but I also make the perfect enemy."

Sasha’s 18-year-old daughter Gemma was all she had in the world. Sasha fell pregnant with Gemma when she was still at school, and the two are as close as sisters. So when Gemma’s burned and broken body is found, Sasha’s world ends. What kind of person would want her beautiful daughter dead?

Leading the case is Detective Natalie Ward, scarred by her own recent tragedy. When she finds a note in Gemma’s diary from "a secret admirer", she moves quickly, determined to unmask them. But interviews with Gemma’s devastated ex-boyfriend, and her charismatic teacher, who has been seen embracing his student far away from the classroom, don’t give Natalie the answers she’d hoped for....

And then the case takes a devastating, personal twist. CCTV footage reveals Natalie’s estranged husband David followed Gemma home every evening the week before she died.

Natalie is forced to put personal feelings aside and follow procedure, even though she can’t believe David could be guilty. But when Gemma’s housemate is found murdered, Natalie thinks the killer could still be at large. Is she right to trust her instincts about David and can she discover the truth before another precious life is taken?

Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Karin Slaughter.

Story is decent but narrator sounds too old

Narrators voice throes of the story because it is a very old sounding voice. Story itself is okay, slowly becomes better

Enthralling

Once again i have been mesmerised by this series, the plot with its twists and turns entwined with the back story of the main characters equally as enthralling, superb listen

At time of listening, last in series

I’ve largely enjoyed this series. It’s interesting, entertaining and not too taxing if you’re multitasking!

While the characters have developed well and the narrator is mostly pleasing to listen to, some of the characters alter the way they are portrayed in the writing, especially Mike, that I find jarring as I think it makes him one dimensional.

I really don’t like David and it hasn’t taken me up to this book to realise that. I wasn’t really keen on Natalie either to be honest but I think in this book she’s much more human and relatable.

I don’t understand their relationship, I cannot see why they were ever together. Maybe it was spelt out in the first book and I’ve forgotten it but from the second book on they claim to love each other but they don’t appear to like or respect each other. So that too is a little distracting. Enjoyable though.

I do like the fact that the each book is set soon after the previous one.
