Publisher's summary

Snow is falling softly as a young woman takes her last breath.

Fifteen miles away, two women sit silently in a dark kitchen. They don't speak, because there is nothing left to be said.

Another woman boards a plane to escape the man who is trying to steal her life. But she will have to return sooner or later.

These strangers have one thing in common. They each made one bad choice - and now they have no choices left. Soon they won't be strangers, they'll be family....

When DCI Tom Douglas is called to the cold, lonely scene of a suspicious death, he is baffled. Who is she? Where did she come from? How did she get there? How many more must die? Who is controlling them, and how can they be stopped?

Rachel does it again! Loved it! 

I am Rachel's number one fan. I've enjoyed all her books. In addition to her previous works, she delivers another winner, along with superb narrator Lisa Coleman. Changing characters chapter, by chapter, a favorite style of mine, Abbott brings it all together with twists, turns, ups, downs and surprises throughout. And I certainly wasn't expecting the shocking ending. Wow! One of my favorites in my Audible library! Very highly recommended with 🍒 on top! I can't wait for her next book! Write, Rachel, write!

Great book but he ending makes no sense

Most of the “thrilling books” are predictable and I’ve listens to so many that I normally figure out the ending. I didn’t with this one. I recommend the book but the ending makes no sense. It felt like she invited me over to dinner and when I walk in I smell the delicious food and she brings everything to the table and then right before we eat she gives me a garbage can top to eat it off of. I was very disappointed in the ending. Very.

Ending

Things ran smoothly, if slowly, for me. You have to wait & see where things intersect. There was incomplete closure for me, even at the end. However I envisioned a different ending. Must say, I didn't like the one I got! Too.many loose ends that weren't addressed. This is for me, but others may disagree.

I’ve read all of Rachel Abbotts books so far that I know of

This was the best, and the creepiest. Her writing and her twists and turns always surprise me.

Another Brilliant Tom Douglas Crime Thriller

I recently started with book 3 and steadily worked my way to book 8, Come a Little Closer. They are all brilliant crime thrillers which DCI Tom Douglas and his team solve. This one is dark and creepy with plenty of twists and surprises. Highly recommended for lovers of intense, crime thrillers.
