Summary
"Please, not in front of my daughter,” she pleaded. “She’s just a little girl.” He leaned closer, so close she felt his heated breath on her face. The blue jays that had been filling the valley with their chirping fell silent all at once when the woman’s cry ripped through the clear mountain air....
Detective Kay Sharp vowed she’d never return to her childhood home. On the night of her 13th birthday, her broken family was shattered beyond repair, and leaving was the only option. Unable to fix her own past, she’s been an FBI profiler for more than a decade, desperate to save others.
But now Kay’s back, and only she can solve the crime that has rocked the tight-knit community of Mount Chester to its core. A dead woman has been found by Silent Lake under the dew-covered fall leaves, her hair braided, and her body wrapped in a blanket. This small town may be a stranger to murder, but Kay recognizes the signs of a serial killer. She’s certain that the ritualistic nature of the scene means it’s just a matter of time until he strikes again - unless she catches him first.
As yellow "do-not-cross" tape flaps in the biting wind, another woman is reported missing. Kay leads a frenzied search for out-of-towner Alison Nolan, and when she locates her car, Kay’s blood turns to ice as she shines her flashlight on the backseat and sees a teddy bear. Alison’s six-year-old little girl, Hazel, has vanished too.
Kay knows the missing-person investigation could turn into a murder case at any second. But as she hunts for the culprit, her own past closes in on her. Can she find the killer before it’s too late? And will the secret she thought she’d buried stay that way?
A totally gripping and utterly addictive new crime thriller series for listeners who love Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni, and Kendra Elliot.

A thrilling listen
A thrilling listen, full of twists and turns. I love the character of Elliot the Texan detective, he really makes me smile, and his relationship with Kay is great. I’m looking forward to future books and seeing the development of that relationship. I’d definitely recommend this story to all lovers of mysteries that keep you hooked.

Leslie Wolfe is a serial thriller
I have not listened to a Leslie Wolfe audio book and not enjoyed it. It is rare to find an author that continuously comes out with plots that are so well crafted you spend the whole time on the edge seat. But when you do that author quickly becomes a must read or listen and once again Leslie is one of those authors. She has created a story that has you hooked from the start and wishing it was a paperback book so you could skip to the back to see what happens but at the same time wishing you weren't reading it so fast. The characters are so well developed that you care about what happens to them and I like the way that you learn a little bit more about them as the story unfolds, the secrets instead of making them weak only makes them more stronger and capable. The story is told from a number of perspectives from the hostage, to Kay the ex FBI agent and of course the unsub, giving you a well rounded story. The mystery was excellent and well thought out, with plenty of red herrings and twist. Everything you want from a thriller and a series I would recommend.
When Kay Sharp's brother is arrested and sent to jail, she gives up her FBI job to return to the place she swore she would never return to. But rather than help her brother get out of jail she finds her mind struggling over the dead body of a young woman found in the woods. As a profiler she know the signs and the big flashing warning signs are telling her that her small home town has a serial killer on there hands. Can she put her considerable knowledge to good use and help the locals find a killer before he kills again? Maybe if she can get them to trust her and believe there is one. Because a profile isn't going to help much when the killer knows how to hide the evidence and the bodies that start to turn up are so different. The clock is ticking and nobody knows it.
Gwendolyn Druyor is one of my favourite narrators and I am so glad these two very talented women have teamed up to bring us one unmissable story.

I love this story gripping from start to finish well worth listening to. The only down side was the narrator Gwendolyn Druyor her voice really grated and made it very hard to listen to. I just hope she is not narrating all the other books.

Narrator
Wrong narrator for this story. Monotone reading is only made bearable by speeding up the narration.

Dreadful narrator
I couldn’t finish this book because of the narrator. As soon as she had to read from a male perspective she talked as if the character had learning difficulties.
I won’t listen to anything else with this narrator.
The book was also very slow moving and full of ridiculous discrepancies.
