A merciless killer who will stop at nothing. And a detective with nothing left to lose.

When Detective Karen Hart hears a scream echoing out of beautiful Lincoln Cathedral one snowy evening, she is the first officer on the scene. In the chapel a man lies murdered, a bloody cross carved into his forehead.

The twisted killing sends this close-knit community into shock. And a note to the police from the murderer, signed by "The Cleanser", confirms their worst fears: this sadistic slaying is the first of many. The ritual killings will never stop until Hart uncovers the murderer’s ungodly motive.

When early leads become dead ends, Karen starts to wonder if there’s a link to a rumoured conspiracy within police ranks - particularly when an abrasive new officer is assigned to the case. Could the key to catching "The Cleanser" be dangerously close to home? Meanwhile, she is battling her own demons as she struggles to come to terms with the deaths of her husband and daughter.

In her toughest case yet, Karen will come closer than ever before to a dangerous truth. Can she put the pieces of the puzzle together before she’s stopped in her tracks?

The plot was good and characters strong
Reader was good most of the time. A man’s voice would have helped designate characters.

Good mystery

Spine-tingling! Spellbinding! All of the words used to describe excellence in the writing of thrillers, mysteries, police procedurals, and female detectives apply here! Wow! Just Wow!

This case was crazy and the foreshadowing for what may came in a later story... hm. Why is it that Morgan doesn't seem to like Mike? Let's see what book 6 brings.

I love this author, her books and characters are very realistic and you can relate to their lives. If you have never read her work and enjoy crime mysteries, don’t wait any longer you will not be disappointed! The narrator does an excellent job also.

Another great Mystery!

The detectives, from the main character Hart on down, come across as slow witted and dull. It takes them too long to reach obvious conclusions. The story is not helped by the narration. While the character voicing is adequate, the story narration is abrasive and staccato. I won't be spending more money on this author.
