Publisher's summary

A seaside retreat has just become a killer's favorite playground.

It's summer on the Jersey Shore. Children play on the beach. Husbands are off working in the city. And the surf echoes in the night. Here, in this perfect place, a serial killer has no worries in the world - except choosing the next victim.

Cam Hastings has come to Long Beach Island with her teenage daughter and the hope that maybe she can save her failed marriage. Cam has never stopped loving her husband, Mike, nor has she been able to outrun her flaws and demons - a vanished mother, a lost sister, and the ugly visions she has of missing children.

Now, Cam is about to step over the edge. For once, she will act on one of her visions - and then face the consequences. For a killer has just struck again. And for Cam, and the people she loves most, fear has come home for good.

Another Winner for Ms Staub

You can always count on Ms Wendy for a solid read. Different scenarios but good characters (even the bad guys).

well done!

excellent author! great writing and good character depth! the only reason I gave it less than 5 stars is the silence from Cam about everything stretches credulity a little bit for me! But worth the read! off to number 2 in the series! to the author....thanks for the stories! I love reading them!

FABULOUS LISTEN

The narrator brought this book to life; she's one of the best! An exciting suspenseful tale which flowed well written by a dab hand of the genre.

A little disappointed

I realized what I don’t like about some mystery stories is when the author throws in miscellaneous characters to confuse the reader about who the villain is. I also get very frustrated with characters’ thoughts as a key part of the narrative.

Not Awful, but not Great

The author tried too hard to keep you guessing. I found the book slow and confusing until I figured out the protagonist far too early and then realized I did t really care! Very little sympathy for any of the characters whom I found annoying, unrealistic and underdeveloped until the last chapter. It kept me company during long commutes to work, but I was glad when it was finished. I’ve read worse—I’ve read better.

started slow, but worth hanging in there

At first, I didn't think I would like the book. It took awhile to get good. once it did, there were lots of questions and suspects to be answered. I had a few guesses but they were all wrong, so the mystery was satisfying. I didn't really understand the reasoning for a side plot with Lucinda and Randy - it struck me as odd and out of place. But overall, it was a very good listen.
