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....

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

Lots of twists and turns.

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

Great characters

Overall this was good. However, the fact that a rookie would be tapped to fill a position in CID on her second day is hard to believe. Morgan seemed almost too good at her job to be real. And Ben seemed more like a DI, with his own office. Any romance between them seems a bit premature.

The murder to be solved was interesting.

But I truly liked the book and I’m interested in how things develop in this series. Helen Phifer is a favorite author so I’m sure she can make this happen. The narration of the audiobook was a plus.

Good start

Great book, was really hard to get over the accent. I loved it. But I love it so much I couldn't focus on anything but how to say the words the same as she did. Still an A+

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book and I was definitely left guessing on a few little bits here and there. My only complaint was how quickly EVERYTHING was wrapped up. I feel like the author buttoned the entire book up in 10 mins and without even dragging it out she could have at least given up 1/2 an hour. Guess that just means I didn’t want it to end. Will for sure read more by the author.

Great story, great characters, speedy wrap up!

WOW, is all I can say you didn’t know the killers to that very end.

Excellent!

Great new series to read. Morgan and the characters are so likeable and this wasn’t all fluff, alight gore which made it more adult.

First time reader and loved Morgan
