Publisher's summary

Fast-paced, gutsy and intriguing, the third instalment in the Ella Marconi series.

On an early morning walk, a young girl finds the body of her classmate, Tim Pieters, hidden amongst some bushes. The boy's family are desperate for answers, but the killer is never found.

Almost two decades later, political pressure sees the cold case reopened, and Detective Ella Marconi inherits the job. Ella attacks the case with vigour, determined to shake off the memories of her last investigation, which ended with her being shot in the line of duty. But she knows it won’t be easy - after all this time the murderer is probably long gone, and the memories of any witnesses are fading.

Georgie Riley, the girl who found Tim’s body, is now a paramedic, trying to face up to her own demons. There's never been any reason to doubt her story, but when Ella receives an anonymous call insisting that Georgie has information about the Pieters case, she decides to dig deeper.

As long-buried secrets and lies finally come to light, can Ella track down the killer before more people are hurt?

This Book MUCH Better than 1 and 2

No wasted words, Sad subject, but storyline and characters done well. Narration superb.

Wish there were a little less swearing though. It was not overly done--sort of the way some people normally express themselves when upset, but--I believe it's never necessary in a book.

Pretty good.

I had some trouble keeping the characters straight in this one. Three main female characters, all around the same age, each in a relationship, and not enough character depth to really distinguish them from one another in a truly compelling way. But the story is good and the ending is interesting enough.

Entertaining

In the last review I felt Ella wasn’t a very well developed character, now I just think she’s excellent at her job but to the extent she’s quite shallow in her personal life.

The crime was interesting even though it was clear what was going on. I enjoyed it and still love Caroline Lee. On to the next book.

Worth the wait

I've loved all the books in this series, but this one, the last to be recorded, is probably my favourite. Great story and flawless narration.
