Publisher's summary

She knelt down by the side of the first girl. She had to force herself to breathe as she lifted the soft white cloth covering the girl’s beautiful face....

When the body of a woman is found hanging from a tree in her front garden, rookie Detective Morgan Brookes is first on the scene. But Olivia Potter is past saving. And when her husband and daughters cannot be traced, Morgan knows there is more to this tragedy. And then she finds them. Lying huddled together in the dark basement, each of their faces covered with a small cotton cloth, their bodies cold to the touch.

But as Morgan kneels beside the family, she realizes that one of the girls is still breathing. As she holds Bronte’s fragile hand in hers, begging her to hold on, she vows to find out who has done this.

Every day Morgan wakes at 4.25 a.m., her old insomnia now mixed with a new fixation on the case. But every clue about the murdered family leads to a dead end. Until, trawling through old files, she discovers a link to a cold case from years ago. Another family was murdered in this house, and the killer was never caught.

When Morgan returns to the scene of the crime to discover more about this forgotten case, she finds another body. With Bronte still unconscious in hospital, Morgan must act fast to solve this case and lay two families to rest, before the killer returns for the girl left alive....

Could Not Stop Listening!

This book grabbed me from the get-go. With the writer's technique for creating characters so believable & who grow in this gripping thriller, and Alison Campbell's superb narration, I was swept away with the suspense of the storyline & the characters, and left speechless in the end. Bravo Helen Phifer! I've already purchased Books 2 & 3 in this series, but I'm waiting for a day that I can afford to lose, because once I start I know I won't be able to put it down again.

Found a new author that I like.

I had a few small issues. There was nothing about checking a computer or cell phones. Sometimes the squad did not seem through. Overall, I enjoyed the story enough that I bought the other two books in this series, plus book one in another series written by this author. I liked most of the characters. There has been some books where I did not care about any of them.

Bed Uk mystery I have ever listened to.

I usually do not enjoy British mysteries because they are extremely slow and agonizing. This one is the exception. Really great characters that have depth and are interesting. The storyline moves at a nice pace and I am looking forward to listening to the next one. The narration is also nice and at a decent pace- I didn’t have to speed it up! I really recommend this listen!!

Great plot but a little predictable

I found this book to be riveting, but also halfway through it, I realized who the killer was, so that was a bit disappointing
