Publisher's summary

The most dangerous place to hide is in the dark....

A tough special agent with the Department of Justice and a dedicated single mother to her orphaned nephews, Samantha Chase is unbreakable. Until two women, both from the shadows of Sam's past, are discovered strangled. For Sam, the most unnerving detail is the eucalyptus branch tucked behind the victims' ears - the signature of a notorious serial murderer already convicted and executed for his crimes.

To Detective Nick Thomas, the only link to the copycat killings is Sam herself. And when she becomes the target of threats - each one more menacing than the last - his feelings for her just might jeopardize the case.

But to understand the killer's twisted motive is to explore Sam's past - and a crime she's spent a lifetime trying to bury....

Good read

I was NOT ready for the plot twist of this book. Sam is a bad ass detective aunt who has gained custody of her orphaned nephews after their mom, Sam’s baby sister, death.
The narration performance was excellent as I could differentiate each character.

I highly recommend

great story

such a great story. it's all very sad though A LOT of child molestation though... a lot of DECRIPTIVE child molestation. I usually steer clear of this when looking for a book. The whole book was based on it, from many points of view. My only PERSONAL issue is its hard for me to read a book about so much pain and suffering, then to have the book end in ANOTHER sad situation, just left me feeling melancholy and realived the book was over. now I'm off to read something a bit lighter.

This book has it all and the ending will leave you speechless. The story plot is a lot and it teaches you to communicate and learn to let go of that past hurt.

Overall good story

Well written story, kept me guessing till near the end. Good narrator, which, if you are listening instead of reading, is everything!

Good narrator but too much in the story

The plot is far fetched and overly complicated. A bit overboard on the pedo stuff. Felt like it could’ve been a fun listen with about half the characters and their stories.
