About this ebook

‘I honestly couldn't put this book down… makes the reader need to know the next part… a brilliant twist of the plot at the end.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

“Please,” she whispered, rocking back and forth. “I want to go home.”

When Isabelle Coleman, a blonde, beautiful young girl goes missing, everyone from the small town of Denton joins the search. They can find no trace of the town’s darling, but Detective Josie Quinn finds another girl they didn’t even know was missing. 

Mute and unresponsive, it’s clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Josie can get from her is the name of a third girl and a flash of a neon tongue piercing that matches Isabelle’s.

 

The race is on to find Isabelle alive, and Josie fears there may be other girls in terrible danger. When the trail leads her to a cold case labelled a hoax by authorities, Josie begins to wonder is there anyone left she can trust?

 

Someone in this close-knit town is committing unspeakable crimes. Can Josie catch the killer before another victim loses their life?

Utterly gripping crime for readers who adored Angela Marsons, Helen Fields and Robert Dugoni. You will be sleeping with the lights on once you discover the first in this unputdownable new crime thriller series.

Like many of these crime fiction books, the author spends half the time describing the main protagonists' personal problems instead of getting on with the story. This makes for a long winded and tedious read. Maybe it has something to do with extending the word count. A shorter book that sticks to the point would be an improvement.

I enjoy the suspense in each of the chapters. Im usually pretty good about finding out the bad guy before it is truly reviled. This book, however, had me on my toes. I really thought it was..... but the villain turned out to be another. It's hard to find a book that keeps me in suspense, so thank you. I can't wait to read the next book.
