Publisher's summary

Ronald Thompson knows he never killed Nina Peterson...yet in two days, the state of Connecticut will take his life, having found him guilty via due process of law.

But Thompson's death will not stop the pain and anger of Nina's husband, Steve. Thompson's death will not still the fears of Nna's six-year-old son, Neil, witness to his mother's brutal slaying. Not even the love and friendship of Sharon Martin, a journalist who is slowly becoming a part of their world, will ever erase their bitter memories. Only time, perhaps, will heal their wounds.

But in the shadows, a stranger waits, a cunning psychopath who has killed before, who has unfinished business at the Peterson home....

Good book

I have always loved her books. Such a great story teller. It starts a little slow, but definitely worth the listen!

Made me cry

I’ve never gotten emotional reading/listening to any MHC books, but this one touched me. It’s not so much the story, which was captivating, it was the love between the characters. I really liked this one. Thanks MHC.

Perfection

This audiobook is EXACTLY what I look for in a thriller/suspense novel. I listened to the whole book in less than a day. Couldn’t put it down. Great characters, perfect timing. All action from start to finish. Great reader. Couldn’t ask for more. THANK YOU!!

Average

Narration is excellent. The ending is pretty predictable - I expect my killers to be way more calculating/cunning and not do stupid stuff😀
