Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development.

Amazing...
Amazing. Kept my attention & didn't want to stop listening. I listened to the entire audio book in 3 days! Great representation of autistic individuals & the complicated feelings that come with parenting an autistic child. Great storyline. Loved it

Powerful, moving, complex…
Just finished this and honestly couldn’t stop listening until it was finished. I stole every free minute to advance a chapter or two at a time. The main character epitomizes the range of emotions that come at you in the years following a special needs diagnosis, even the ones a parent might not be willing to advertise. But I empathized with the stages you have to experience before arriving at acceptance, even if I didn’t agree with the coping mechanisms. The plot took many turns and was riveting throughout entire novel. Even without personal experiences of autism, the suspense of the story was in line with a Patterson title. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best audio books I've ever heard!
Being a career police officer with a severely autistic son. This book was amazing! listen to it! you won't regret it. I was feeling genuine emotions listening to this book. it had a great story! I could relate to alot of this book as an autism parent! I will be purchasing a physical copy to have for my collection! it's clearly written by a loving father that knows what being a autism parent and a police officer involves!
