Loving Gia to Death: A Psychological Thriller

A Heels & Handcuffs Novel, Book 4

By: Rena Koontz

Narrated by: Verla Bond

Blake Matthews is caught in a deadly catch-22 predicament. In order to save his daughter, he must prove his wife is a monster. He’ll divorce her and move out, but that leaves five-year-old Gia alone in the house with the very person he suspects is hurting her. But proving his ex-wife is deliberately harming Gia is next to impossible. Few police agencies are familiar with Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It doesn't help that his ex points an accusatory finger at him.

Nurse Noreen Jensen is suspicious of both parents and afraid for Gia after she treats the child for a broken arm. Too many unanswered questions overshadow that so-called accident, and she undertakes her own investigation into Gia’s numerous hospital emergencies.

The more questions she asks, the more intrigued she is by Blake, who grudgingly provides the answers. It’s obvious his devotion to his daughter is steadfast, but why did he leave her?

Blake is a firefighter, dedicated to serving the public, just like Noreen. Can he convince her he's one of the good guys? And together, can they stop her mother from loving Gia to death?

Gripping story

Fascinating subject, great setting. I loved all the Pittsburgh touches. We might have a passing knowledge of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, but this story captured the reality of the mental illness and how it can hide in plain sight.

Good

An interesting plot, what is the truth, is there a problem and who is at fault. The nurse had an intriguing role is this scenario. Good narration Veria.Bond
