Publisher's summary

A victim on display. A detective on the rails.

Shopping with her sister, DI Amy Winter is admiring a Valentine’s Day window display of a perfect bride encrusted in diamonds and resplendent in lace - until she notices blood oozing from the mannequin’s mouth.

This is no stunt. A post-mortem reveals the victim was left to die on her macabre throne for all to see. When a second victim is found, it emerges that both women were "Sugar Babes" arranging dates with older men online - and Amy finds herself hunting an accomplished psychopath.

As she tracks down the killer, Amy’s instincts go into overdrive when the charismatic head of the agency behind the display makes no attempt to hide his fascination with her serial-killer parents. What exactly does he want from Amy? With her own world in freefall as her biological mother, Lillian Grimes, appeals her conviction, Amy pushes the boundaries of police procedure when a third "Sugar Babe" disappears...Is she as much at risk as the killer’s victims?

Really good

I thought this was a really good book. The only real complaint that I had was I thought that Amy was annoying sometimes. In this book it’s like she saw sexism everywhere. When a female brought Donovan a cup of coffee she went off on him about just because that was a woman she had to bring you coffee. Somebody complemented her hair and she had to think he wouldn’t complement my hair if I was a man. When her commanding officer gives her orders she hast to question if it’s because she’s a woman even though she had already stepped out of line and defied orders multiple times already. It got very annoying. It just seemed like nothing could be said to her without her throwing the it’s because I’m a woman card into it when it had nothing to do with that. I love this series. That kind of stuff needs to really cool down.

Loved it

I love this book couldn’t stop listing. Just like and other DI Amy Winter book it is just hands down captivating book. I can’t wait for the next one to come out!!

Love the Author & the Narrator

Thanks Caroline Mitchell for another great book in the Amy Winter series, I can’t wait for the next one!

Best Amy Winter Yet!!

This third installment of the DI Amy Winter series is the best so far. The first two books were phenomenal, but this one had me hooked from the first chapter. It was so spellbinding, I finished it in one day.

The narrator was excellent and I am eagerly awaiting for the next book. I hope that one day Lillian finally gets what's coming to her.

I love this series.

These books keep me captivated. If it makes it to TV, I hope we get it in US.

Good Fun

This is a fun and quickly moving story . The twin stories of this novel will make you think again about the serial killer subvenre.

Really enjoyed

I’ve listened to books 2&3. I just got #2 on sale; loved it ; HAD to see what happened next. I’m looking forward to Lillian being reincarcerated, hopefully in book 4, Until then I’ll have to backtrack and get book #1.
Excellent writing, good twisty plots, no gratuitous sex scenes, satisfying endings which still leave you wanting more details about the main character’s ability to triumph over trauma.

Liked but

Liked the book but took awhile to catch my attention. Middle to end was great

I Loved this Series

Every book was interesting with it's own great story. It was fun to come across some of the same characters and then meet new ones. I really hope there is another book coming. It was really a good mystery and I was drawn in quickly and couldn't wait to get back to the story especailly toward the end when the excitement grew. The narrator was excellent, sometimes I forget it is the same person doing all the characters. Thanks for such a good listen. Thanks to Audible for always keeping me company with great entertainment.

enjoyed

great twist and turns...can't wait for next book. I like the narrator voice, easy to listen to.
