Publisher's Summary

Buffalo Police Detective Lauren Riley risks her life to close the book for good on a killer who’s never paid for his crimes.

When cold-case Detective Lauren Riley returns to work months after being stabbed by a fellow police officer, it’s clear that her troubles are far from over. The body of a young woman has been found in the same woods as a murder victim from one of Lauren’s most horrifying cases. It doesn’t take long for Lauren to be back at square one confronting David Spencer, the quietly deranged man she could never prove was a killer. 

Lauren convinces the police chief to put together a task force to uncover the connections between the brutal slaying of both women and the murder of two cops. But things go south quickly, forcing Lauren into a deadly game that she can’t afford to lose.

A Means to an End

Loved this book, if you want a good murder thriller, this is it. Keeps you guessing and wandering the whole time. Loved the ending. The narration is excellent.

Nice book

It started out a little slow but picked up really fast I really love a good mystery.
HoweverI think they could’ve done a little more with it.

Review

Very well written. The ending could have been a lot better though. A more detailed ending would have been nice

Easy listen

I’m writing the same for all four books as I read them one after the other but didn’t review immediately which is my usual practice. And I can’t actually recall them in detail!

They were just easy listens. Not taxing. Slightly unbelievable but I read all four so that says something. The narrator is a favourite of mine which is what drew me to the author.

Excellent

Really enjoyed listening to this book, although an American narrator, it was very clear and easy to listen to. Gripping story, full of twists and turns right to the end. Will listen to this author again.

Not the greatest of stories

Too few twists and turns, too much focus on main character for it to be interesting.

Not for me.

I’m afraid I found the storyline ridiculous and the narration was not the best. Sorry!
I did not finish this book
