Her Buried Past

Detective Madison Knight Series, Book 14

By: Carolyn Arnold

Narrated by: Samantha Novak

A tense and completely addictive crime thriller

The blade slices deeply into her neck, and arterial spray sweeps across her vision. She puts her hand over the wound, feeling the fight already leaving her. In a moment of surrender, she must believe something marvelous will come after she takes her last breath. Otherwise, she’ll be left with nothing but the blackness that is edging in.

After therapist Sidney Callahan is found dead in her home office, Detective Madison Knight drives out to her remote cabin. Also used as a spiritual retreat to explore past-life regression, the otherwise peaceful property stands out in stark contrast to the messy murder scene. With signs of a struggle but no forced entry, Madison must figure out who would want to harm this woman.

Madison soon discovers that Sidney had planned to release a book featuring her patients’ past lives, and she suspects one of them didn’t want their secrets exposed. But as Madison and her partner, Terry Grant, dig deeper, they make the shocking discovery that the therapist had her own dark past.

As they continue their investigation, Madison and Terry must navigate a web of lies and danger. But just as they are inching closer to the truth, someone tries to stop them with deadly force. Will they be able to bring justice to Sidney? Or will they become the next victims?

Madison is maturing

it's been amazing to follow Det Knight as she matures in her personal life and professional life but still is able to kick ass. Following the clues w the occasional red herring, my head was spinning but in a good way. And just when it's wrapping up it turns out there is another twist. Great book and great to see her and Troy moving on from the trauma of the last case.
