Publisher's summary

When the hunter becomes the hunted....

DI Amy Winter faces her toughest case yet as a serial killer couple kidnap and hunt their prey. After capture, the victims are released from an unknown location each day. But freedom does not come easily, as the victim’s injuries become more severe, and if they haven’t escaped by day four, they won’t live to see the fifth.

At five months pregnant, Amy is feeling backed into a corner as the father of her child, DCI Donovan, urges her to share the news. But Amy doesn’t want to be treated differently by her team, much less lose their respect when they discover she’s in a relationship with her DCI. When a call comes in from the killer asking to meet Amy, Donovan intercepts and sends a decoy in her place. But while officers are concentrating on the decoy, Amy is kidnapped from outside her home. She is the next victim, and the countdown begins.

After being bundled into the back of a van and driven to a desolate woodland, Amy’s heart sinks in her chest as she realizes the killers have no intention of playing fair.

DCI Donovan is distraught as he discovers Amy is missing. When his team receives a taunting video, he is left in no doubt of the danger Amy and his unborn child are in. He must pull himself together to hunt the killer down. But with no clues and no location, there is only one person with intimate knowledge of how a killer’s mind works.

Enter Lillian Grimes, Amy’s serial killer mother. But can he persuade her to help him in time?

As the days progress, Amy’s injuries grow more severe, and her team are locked in a desperate race against time.

Can be listened to as a stand-alone. A compulsive thriller that will have your heart hammering in your chest and leave you absolutely breathless when you discover the shocking final twist. If you’re a fan of Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt, LJ Ross, and Rachel McLean, you’ll love In Cold Blood.

Wow!

I love the Amy Winter series, and this one is my favorite. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book!

Great suspense

Love this series and this book didn’t disappoint. Kim is a great narrator!! Can’t wait for the next book!

Wow!

This was one of the best books in the series and I didn’t see how it would end until it happened.

Hooked from start to finish!

I absolutely love this series! This book does not disappoint, I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish!

Couldn’t Put IT DOWN

Another great case with Amy Winter - the only bad thing I can say about this book is that I flew threw it - I couldn’t put it down & now here I am again waiting to see what happens next!

Love the all the Books, Miss the old Narrator

I have listened to all of the books! It was a hard to switch to a new narrator! The story was good but would have been great with the old narrator!

Great read!

Another great story in the D I Amy Winter series. I cannot wait to see what is next in her story.

Changing the Narrator was a bad idea !

I’ve love listening to many books on audible. I’ve listened to the first 4 DI Winter series about 3-4 times in order. The new narrator completely changes the characters faces and personalities in my mind. I need to read this book myself now. I’m not saying this Narrator doesn’t perform well, in general, just that I was used to Knowelden.

Another great Amy Winter book

This was another good story starring Amy Winter. I hope this isn’t the last of this character.

Great series

Usually by the fourth book in a series, I am almost dreading the next. I enjoyed each book in this series. The narration was well matched and the story was as gripping in the final book as it was in the first. I will be reading more from this author.
