About the book:

Four-year-old Kayden has been sitting alone on the little patch of tired grass outside his house for hours. His cheeks are wet with tears as he waits for his mother’s warm embrace. But she’ll never arrive to pick up her darling boy. She’ll never be seen again…

Church Road is a quiet corner of suburbia where happy families play in the local park and neighbours smile as they pass in the street. But behind the bright red door of number 8 lies the body of Billie Reeves, a young mum who just took her last breath.

Serena is Billie’s sister. When she found out her boyfriend had been obsessively calling Billie, she’d all but cut her from her life. But not before vowing she would make Billie pay for ruining her relationship…

Shaun is Billie’s ex-boyfriend. He left her the moment she fell pregnant. When he turned up at Billie’s door, demanding to see Kayden, she refused to take the risk of him hurting her precious son. He’ll do whatever it takes to get his little boy back…

Nadia is Billie’s best friend. Their kids attended the same school and Billie often opened up to Nadia about her struggles as a single mother. She knows Billie’s deepest, darkest secret. She promised never to tell, but that was before the argument…

When police investigate the quiet little street, they discover everyone was whispering about Billie’s late-night callers. What was going on behind the closed door of Billie’s small home? And if someone was prepared to kill her, what do they know, and who will be next?

Fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter and Clare Mackintosh, will love Her Deadly Promise – a completely gripping crime thriller that will have you hooked from the very first page!

My Review:

This is one of my favorite detective series.  And if you are wondering, they can all be read as stand alones.  I have fallen behind and have not read the entire series and had no trouble following this one.

This is a fast paced novel that I did not want to put down.  I love the main set of characters and always enjoy catching up on their personal lives as they work the case.  In this one Gina is not her usual confidant self as she is struggling with her personal life and health.  There is such a good balance between the case and her personal life.

As with any good mystery, everyone has a secret they are trying to keep hidden.  There are many twists and turns along the way and a conclusion I did not see coming.  And I don’t know how I missed reading the entire series as they always seem to end on a cliffhanger that has you clamoring for the next book.

I highly recommend this installment.  Actually the whole series!  I need to go back and read my missing books.
