Publisher's summary

The woman’s bright blonde hair floats in the breeze. She almost looks like she could be resting on the soft green grass. But her brown eyes stare unblinking up at the sky, and the final cut across her mouth is dark with blood. Her words silenced forever....

Late one evening, as the final church bell rings out, Sandra Deakin’s cold and lifeless body is found in the overgrown graveyard with multiple stab wounds. When Detective Kim Stone rushes to the scene, the violence of the attack convinces her that this murder was deeply personal. What could have caused such hate?

As the team dig into Sandra’s life, they discover she believed she could communicate with the dead. Was that why she was targeted? The last people to see her alive were a group of women who had a session with her the night before she was killed, and as Kim and her team pay them a visit, they soon learn each of the women is lying about why they wanted Sandra’s help.

Kim realizes she must dig deep and open her mind to every avenue if she’s going to stand a chance at solving this case. And when she learns that Sandra was banned from the church grounds and had been receiving death threats too, she’s ever more certain that Sandra’s gifts are at the heart of everything.

But just when she thinks she’s found a lead, the broken body of a 19-year-old boy is found outside a call center–a single slash across his mouth. Kim knows they are now racing against time to understand what triggered these attacks and to stop a twisted killer.

But they might be too late. Just as Kim sits down at a local psychic show, she discovers something that makes her blood run cold. Both Sandra and the call center were named in an article about frauds. And this show stars the next name on the list. She looks around the audience with a feeling of utter dread, certain the killer is among them.

Totally addictive with a final twist that will leave you shouting out loud, you’ll want to inhale Deadly Fate in one sitting. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, and Robert Dugoni will love the new crime thriller from best-selling author Angela Marsons.

Can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Gripping and Amazing!

I find myself awaiting the next Kim Stone novel as if it is Christmas! This newest saga was touching and always kept me guessing. I adore these characters! Jan Cramer brings each to life like no one else can. Splendid!

stunned

Love the different storylines (don't want to give anything away) but the ending..Why lol. when's the next book coming out? tomorrow? Love the books, always new stories. I always go back to see if I missed any ques.. Love Angela Marsons. For the first time I can't decide who my favorite character is and always laugh out loud during her books.

Never disappoints!!!

Love these books and this cast of characters! Keep them coming! On to the next!!

So Good!

I love this series! This continuation does not disappoint & the banter between colleagues is delightful! Left on a cliffhanger though with Stacey so I’m hoping the next book in the series comes out next week! 🤣

Another good one!

Angela never disappoints especially with Det. Kim Stone and crew. My favorite cast of characters!

The personalities of the team.

I just started this series of books and enjoyed the characters and the plot was interesting.

Love this series, but....

For the most part I enjoy this series very much. It's fast paced, I like the MC's, and they are well developed. Early on in the series I was annoyed by the fact that the author would put DI Kim Stone in dangerous situations alone where she was always hurt or nearly killed. Now I am super annoyed with the way she is having Stacey respond to her current situation as it is totally stupid and unprofessional. And I am annoyed that it was left on a cliff hanger. Obviously I will still be getting the next installment as soon as it comes out, let's just hope it's soon...

Another great story

Love this series. Kim Stone’s wit and sarcasm makes me laugh out loud sometimes. Each book is like catching up with a friend. Can’t wait for more.
