About this listen

Music from the busy dancefloor echoes into the deserted room where the prom queen lies deadly still. A tiara rests on her soft blonde curls, but her face is frozen with fear, and her painted red lips are forever sealed shut in a silenced scream....

When Detective Amanda Steele’s niece, Ava, begs her to look for a missing schoolfriend, she immediately agrees to take on the case. Eighteen-year-old Reese left home three nights ago after fighting with her mother and hasn’t been seen since. But when the teenager’s body is discovered brutally murdered, poised dramatically at the prom venue, Amanda is devastated she didn’t save the girl in time.

Haunted by the scene, Amanda dives headfirst into the case. Chasing every lead, she is horrified when she discovers a potential key witness strangled in her own home. It soon becomes clear that the killer will stop at nothing to silence anyone who might reveal their identity. So when Ava mentions she saw someone acting strangely at the prom venue that night, Amanda’s heart stops.

And when Amanda’s worst nightmare comes true, and her beloved niece is taken, she knows that every second counts to uncover this twisted killer’s identity and bring Ava home safely. But can she crack the secrets of this killer’s deadly game before it’s too late?

A completely pulse-pounding crime thriller, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.

If you loved the other Amanda Steele books, then this book will be no different for you. Lisa Rost-Welling does a great job at narrating and I really enjoyed the overall story/mystery.

In regards to the Gender Ideology review, a line or two in a book that is 9 hours long, does not constitute as "lecturing" or pushing a "political agenda". A character in the story is transgender. That's it.

Don't let that review deter you away from listening to this audiobook. It's another great installment in the Detective Amanda Steele series.

Great Story with No "Political Agendas"

Enjoyable

Save the lectures on transphobia. People want stories, not political agendas. Ok story otherwise.

Gender ideology

It would be nice if we could BUY and listen to books that aren't influenced by politics.
