About this listen

She knelt down by the side of the first girl. She had to force herself to breathe as she lifted the soft white cloth covering the girl’s beautiful face....

When the body of a woman is found hanging from a tree in her front garden, rookie Detective Morgan Brookes is first on the scene. But Olivia Potter is past saving. And when her husband and daughters cannot be traced, Morgan knows there is more to this tragedy. And then she finds them. Lying huddled together in the dark basement, each of their faces covered with a small cotton cloth, their bodies cold to the touch.

But as Morgan kneels beside the family, she realizes that one of the girls is still breathing. As she holds Bronte’s fragile hand in hers, begging her to hold on, she vows to find out who has done this.

Every day Morgan wakes at 4.25 a.m., her old insomnia now mixed with a new fixation on the case. But every clue about the murdered family leads to a dead end. Until, trawling through old files, she discovers a link to a cold case from years ago. Another family was murdered in this house, and the killer was never caught.

When Morgan returns to the scene of the crime to discover more about this forgotten case, she finds another body. With Bronte still unconscious in hospital, Morgan must act fast to solve this case and lay two families to rest, before the killer returns for the girl left alive....

Lots of twists and turns.

I can’t say or I would give it away. And I do not want to be a spoiler!

Could Not Stop Listening!

This book grabbed me from the get-go. With the writer's technique for creating characters so believable & who grow in this gripping thriller, and Alison Campbell's superb narration, I was swept away with the suspense of the storyline & the characters, and left speechless in the end. Bravo Helen Phifer! I've already purchased Books 2 & 3 in this series, but I'm waiting for a day that I can afford to lose, because once I start I know I won't be able to put it down again.

Found a new author that I like.

I had a few small issues. There was nothing about checking a computer or cell phones. Sometimes the squad did not seem through. Overall, I enjoyed the story enough that I bought the other two books in this series, plus book one in another series written by this author. I liked most of the characters. There has been some books where I did not care about any of them.

I am hooked

Not sure I'd like a $5 listen. I loved it. I thought it was a good and clever police procedural. I like the cast of characters and am looking forward to the next one in the series.
Thanks Audible for introducing me to a new series.

too easy

I did like the stories the bad part is I figured out who the murderer was at least 10 chapters before I got to the end I was kind of disappointed that I figured it all out would have been better to be surprised

I enjoyed this book

The narration was done well. Easy listening. Not too surprising on who did it, but that wasn't bothersome.

Great characters

Really enjoyed the banter and development of the characters! Excited for the second book. Not very procedural but somewhat.
