About this listen

The boy studied the bruise turning yellow at the base of his neck. With quick fingers his mother tightened his tie and pulled his collar high above it. Her eyes alone said, We will not speak of this....

Years later a man is found shot dead in a local park. On his phone is a draft text: I can’t keep this secret any longer. The recipient is unnamed.

Detective Robyn Carter knows this secret is the key to the case, but his friends and family don’t offer any clues, and all her team have to go on is a size-ten footprint. Then a woman is found in a pool of blood at the bottom of her staircase, and a seemingly insignificant detail in her stepdaughter’s statement makes Robyn wonder: Are the two bodies are connected, and has the killer only just begun?

When another body confirms Robyn’s worst fears, she realizes she’s in a race against time to stop the killer before they strike again. But just as she thinks she’s closing in, one of her own team goes missing.

Buried in the past is a terrible injustice. Can Robyn uncover the truth before another life is lost?

An absolutely heart-stopping and compelling serial killer thriller that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Rachel Abbot and Robert Dugoni.

Great Series

I love this series.. each book is linked but not in a way that if you haven't read one if them it makes a difference. I am enjoying the substory within and can't wait for that to be explored more.

Developing series

The main reason I have stuck with this series I have to admit is that it is set on home turf. The Derbyshire and East Midland areas where the first 20 years of my life. I was not sure with the first book but with mentions of places I know around a good story line kept me going and I am so happy I did. The storys got better and better, I loved the last book for the story but this one has something a little more clever about it. The way the story is woven, the development fo Robyn's character. I am liking this journey very much and hope others are too. A great job by Carol Wyer.
