Summary

The Sunday Times bestselling series is back with a gripping new thriller that pits homicide detective Eve Dallas against a conspiracy of exploitation and evil....

Mina Rose Cabot, age thirteen, disappeared walking home from soccer practice in Devon, Pennsylvania.

Eight months later her body is found in Battery Park, New York, speared through the chest by a three-inch piece of wood.

Lt. Eve Dallas knows that whoever took Mina is responsible for her death. But who took her and where has Mina been for eight long months...?

Breathtaking

I loved the book. There was suspense, laughter and sadness. it's amazing to read or listen to someone grow every time a little bit more and leave the horrible past more and more behind and a relationship bloom even stronger then it already was.

As good as ever

This is a satisfying, enormously enjoyable addition to J. D. Robb’s In Death series. Eve and Roarke return to solve the case of a murdered young girl and, in doing so, uncover a sprawling child sex-trafficking ring. As ever, Susan Ericksen is a superb narrator. She’s so good that I now prefer to listen to this series rather than read it.

Another classic

I eagerly await these books and this one was well worth the wait. Great story with wonderful characters and the return of some missed minor characters. Another winner from my favourite author.

Up to usual standards

V.good. Have felt the recent books have been weaker but this one is good. Sadly I’ve gone through it already, so i have to return to back catalogue till the next one.

I’m still hooked

Very crime focused this time with fewer light moments but many of the key characters made an appearance nonetheless.

Thought provoking storyline

As a mother, it’s a difficult book to read but justice being served lessens the feelings I have - I will hold my children closer this evening.

Excellent book

I’m always excited when a new J.D.Robb book is released. I can’t wait to dive in and catch up with Eve, Roarke, Peabody and the rest of the gang. This book was brilliant, its got loads of tension and excitement. You never know what’s going to happen next. This is one of the more complex Eve and Roarke books. It’s not so focused on the relationships of the characters, like some of the previous books, this one is more about solving the crime, and what a crime it is. I absolutely loved this book.
