Publisher's summary

Brambles catch her dress, scratch her legs, pierce her feet. To escape, she’d had no option but to go barefoot. They’d been laughing together a few minutes before, but things can change in the blink of an eye....

The woman is dark-haired and young, judging by the short red dress. Any other signs of her identity have been erased during her long wait to be found, but it’s clear she was strangled: this was a passionate and personal murder.

D.I. Bernadette Noel knows that every second counts if she is to catch this killer, but she has no leads - until the discovery that the dead woman’s rings match a stolen property report, and the rings’ owner mentions Rosa, her missing nanny.

Just when Bernie and her team think they’re getting somewhere, a shocking discovery about Rosa - and the news that another young girl has been abducted - changes everything the team thought they knew about the case.

Laura is only 12, and her parents are beside themselves with worry - but Bernie has an additional fear. Laura’s home is right next to the woods where their murder victim was found: Are the cases connected?

When Bernie notices similarities between descriptions of the man last seen with Rosa and someone Laura was messaging online, these fears grow stronger. But they still have no clear leads as to the identity of the culprit.

With few options left, and time running out, she makes a desperate plan to trap the predator. But any mistakes will mean another innocent life lost....

A gripping crime thriller with a nail-biting climax. If you like Angela Marsons, Val McDermid, or Cara Hunter, you’ll love Joy Kluver.

A great read until the last 30 seconds

There is a LOT going on in this story and definitely keeps you guessing to the end. I did very much enjoy it but really dislike the very end—-I suppose it’s there to open it to a sequel…but I think it’s very forced.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
