About this eBook

Prepare to lose sleep with this shocking and utterly engrossing thriller, for fans of Karin Slaughter and Angela Marsons.

The crime scenes are horrifying: the victims arranged with deliberate care, posed to appear alive despite their agonised last moments and the shocking nature of their deaths.

For grief counsellor Audrey Sherrod it’s clear the murders are the work of a deranged serial killer. At first, the only link is the victims’ physical appearance. But then another connection emerges, tying them to a past series of horrifying crimes – crimes that hit all too close to home.

As the truth is unravelled, its more twisted and terrifying than anyone could ever imagine.

Grips you right where you want it to - This could happen to you! No one likes to think of a baby dying but throw in the mother to and you get a sense that this book is taking you into them unimaginable scenarios. But it's not all doom and gloom, there is a cute little 'I love him i hate him love theme running through it! Well written and well liked. Onto the next!

Poor poor writing and plot. Cringey dialogues and the descriptive is ridiculous. Struggled from start to end.
