Publisher's summary

The hole they dug was not deep. A white flour bag encased the little body. Three small faces watched from the window, eyes black with terror.

The child in the middle spoke without turning his head. "I wonder which one of us will be next?"

When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home, Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. It's clear the pair are connected, but how?

The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home, with a dark connection to her own family history. Suddenly the case just got personal.

As Lottie begins to link the current victims to unsolved murders decades old, two teenage boys go missing. She must close in on the killer before they strike again, but in doing so is she putting her own children in terrifying danger?

Lottie is about to come face to face with a twisted soul who has a very warped idea of justice.

Slow

I kept waiting for this story to gain momentum, but it really never did. Was ok, but I was not impressed.

Terrific Book

I can’t believe this book is only on Audible. This is a book that people should enjoy whether listened to or read and is good enough to be on a bestseller list.

I have never written a book review before but I found this book to be excellent. The plot was full of intrigue and kept me guessing. The performance was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

I finally made it to the end

I didn’t like any of the characters. Especially the main character. I won’t be listening to anymore in this series. The chief of police was totally unbelievable. At least in the U.S. he would have been fired for harassment.

Very good!

A great suspenseful book with ample twists and turns. D. I. Lottie is a brilliant investigator who finds out all she needs to know.

Real page turner with, in my opinion, great characters. Each character was so real, distinct and strong.
