Publisher's summary

From the author of the best-selling titles Secrets, and Indiscretions, comes a vigilante justice thriller....

Joanna’s career ends after she kills a murderer and fails to cover her tracks. After serving a prison sentence, she struggles to pick up the pieces. The only person from her old life still keeping in touch is Vanessa, the Internal Affairs inspector who was the lead investigator in Joanna’s case. Guilt and open questions define their tentative friendship.

When there’s a new development in one of Joanna’s old cases, she can’t stay away, even at the cost of losing everything...including Rue, the woman she’s been falling for....

Enough is enough....

great author

Thrillers are not my favorite type of books, but I love Barbara Winkes' writing so much, I felt I could trust her to make it intriguing. I was right! I love her imagination.

And the narration is really good, too. The narrator isn't really using distinctive voices, but she's crystal clear, and that is very important.

Killer Instinct

This is not your typical serial killer book. This is the first book by this author I've read, or listened to, and the first book I've listened to by the narrator. The writing in this book was well done. I didn't like the main character Joanna, and she just never grew on me. But, that is completely on me and nothing to do with the writer's writing. The narrator did a good job, but she had a lot of female characters to voice and there were times that those voices bled together making it hard for me to distinguish who was speaking. Otherwise, this was a good introduction to a new to me author and narrator! I'll look for more of their work!

A captivating story about a cops journey

Barbara Winkes has crafted a compelling novel about the costs of fighting sexual predators. she has created complex, nuanced characters and tortured them with impossible scenarios. The writing is crisp. The book is a page turner. The topics tough. The scenes just graphic enough. She carefully covers the lives of her characters.

If you read tgis type of book, then this one is worth your effort.

The narration by TJ Richards is articlate and matches the story perfectly.

I did receive a free code for this audio book. The Ebook is available on Kindle unlimited.

Twisted and infused with love

This is a great read. I was hooked at the onset when the cop becomes a convicted murderer. It just gets more intense and incredible from there. To say anymore would necessitate spoilers so I encourage you to grab this novel and enjoy.

Enjoyed this read

I enjoyed the escape into this story. I both enjoyed and missed some of the depth into the serial killers worls and suspense of characters in the throws of being with the serial killer. Even getting more depth from the side of the serial killer.

in general though. it was a wonderful experience to identify with the characters in a suspense novel. it was my first experience in doing so and now I thirst for more!
