He knows everything about you—including the first place you’ll hide.

On a warm summer night in one of Boston’s working-class neighborhoods, an unthinkable crime has been committed: Four members of a family have been brutally murdered. The father—and possible suspect—now lies clinging to life in the ICU. Murder-suicide? Or something worse? Veteran police detective D. D. Warren is certain of only one thing: There’s more to this case than meets the eye.

Danielle Burton is a survivor, a dedicated nurse whose passion is to help children at a locked-down pediatric psych ward. But she remains haunted by a family tragedy that shattered her life nearly twenty-five years ago. The dark anniversary is approaching, and when D. D. Warren and her partner show up at the facility, Danielle immediately realizes: It has started again.

A devoted mother, Victoria Oliver has a hard time remembering what normalcy is like. But she will do anything to ensure that her troubled son has some semblance of a childhood. She will love him no matter what. Nurture him. Keep him safe. Protect him. Even when the threat comes from within her own house.

The lives of these three women unfold and connect in unexpected ways, as sins from the past emerge—and stunning secrets reveal just how tightly blood ties can bind. Sometimes the most devastating crimes are the ones closest to home.

Live to Tell

Excellent story. Once again I'm never disappointed with any of your books. You possessed the special talent few writers have.

Another good ones

Had me in the edge of my seat quite literally. I love all her books and this series especially

Could not stop listening!!!

This book was a great book!!! Could not stop listening!!! Storyline was great!!! Suprising twists and thrillers!!!! Cannot wait to read other books!

Twists and turns

I was rooting for and suspect of everyone. It was great how it was all pulled together in the end.

love yet hate

Love the book and story, HATED listening to the "children" talking/singing. Love this author, probably would have preferred to read this one rather than listen to it. The part where the little girl is singing mockingbird, almost made me quit audio books forever. Have to give credit to the performers, not their fault they were just reading story, even if it hurt to listen to sometimes.
