#1 Bestseller in Psychological Thrillers in Kindle Store!
After years as a homicide investigator in a big city, Detective Sidney Becker accepts the position of police chief in her hometown—a peaceful mountain community in Oregon. Life is good. Beautiful scenery. Low crime. Close to family. Then a woman is found brutally murdered in the woods. The staging of the body resembles a victim found in the same area years earlier. The case went cold. Now the killer has come out of hiding. The only clue found at the crime scene is an origami butterfly with a handwritten verse inside. Sidney finds she is pitted against a killer more cunning than any she has faced before. She must decode his cryptic message and lure him into the open—before he strikes again.People who viewed this also viewed...

Story
The body lying on a cold steel slab bears all the hallmarks of the Chicago Butcher. There's a cruel slash across her throat, deep enough to sever the carotid artery, and a small crescent carved into her right breast. Her delicate features are painfully familiar to Ash Marcel, once a rising star in the Chicago PD. But though the victim resembles his former fiancee, Remi Walsh, he knows it's not her. Though Remi escaped a serial killer five years ago, her father died trying to save her. Grief and guilt caused her to pull away from the man she loved.

Terrible narration.
The book was compelling, but I only made it to chapter 4 before I had to turn it off. The narration was awful. There was no change between characters voices and there was no change in vocal intensity, no matter the action. I’ll read the story on Kindle Unlimited sometime. I’ll never download a book with virtual narration again.

Awesome mystery!
I wasn't sure I would like a virtual voice, however within just a few minutes I was so engrossed in the story that I totally forgot about it. There was only a couple of small places where a word was off that I remembered. it wasn't distracting from the storyline. There were intriguing twist and turns that captured your attention throughout the book so you never lost interest from start to finish. Great job and imagination from the author!!!
