About the book
The girl’s heart races as she edges towards the bright yellow farmhouse where children’s toys lie carelessly in the overgrown grass. The air is too still. On the front porch, a woman takes her last breath and crumples to the ground…
Special Agent Nikki Hunt feels her chest tighten as she looks down at the body sprawled beside the lilac bushes. This morning, her ten-year-old daughter Lacey witnessed the murder of local mother Elle Harper. Out riding her bike, Lacey saw the killer escape from the house and rushed inside to protect Elle’s daughters Maisy and Maya.
Nikki promises Lacey she’ll do whatever it takes to help the poor innocent girls who now sit in her house clutching their teddies. But before she has a chance to return them to the safety of their stepfather Tim, he’s reported missing. Local gossip suggests that fights between Elle and Tim had been spilling out of the farmhouse, and Nikki soon wonders if Maisy and Maya were ever safe in their own home.
But just as Nikki zones in on her suspect, she realizes she’s too late. A body is pulled from the river, and Nikki’s heart shatters as Tim is pronounced dead. Nikki’s gut tells her that someone is targeting the whole family. But with this killer stalking her in the shadows, what sacrifices will she have to make to save them, and keep her promise to her daughter?
A mind-blowingly brilliant thriller from USA Today bestseller Stacy Green. Fans of Lisa Regan, Mary Burton and Kendra Elliot will be up all night flipping the pages until the final, unputdownable twist.
My Review
I love this series. The characters. The tone. The cases. And Nikki’s past as it’s evolved to the present. That’s what makes this book all the better. It becomes personal when her daughter is a witness to a murder. Find a killer and protect your daughter. When it’s your job, what do you prioritize?
Not twisty but a straightforward, well plotted police procedural with plenty of suspects and some tough issues for the main character. She found her parents murdered years ago so it’s not just the stress of her daughter witnessing a murder but all that brings up for her. And that it intertwines with her job as she works on not one case but two.
That’s a lot to pack into a short novel but Green does it with remarkable ease. The layered plot weaves together and never feels like all that is going on. It just drags you in and doesn’t let up.
I’ll be honest, this is easily read as a stand alone, but all of Nikki’s complex past adds a lot to this one and really made it stand out for me. That is part of what makes me love the series. Nikki is a strong, capable woman. She’s relatable and while this one tests her, she is not prone to breaking. She’s surrounded by a team that works well together and supports each other while getting the job done. I’d highly recommend catching up and reading the entire series if you are a fan of police procedurals.
