Publisher's summary

She didn’t know he was watching. Until it was too late. She’d walked this path hundreds of times before; she knew every twist and turn. But today was different. She didn’t know someone was waiting for her, hidden away from view. She didn’t know this was the last time she’d walk this path.

Hidden deep in the forest, schoolgirl Felicity Parker is found carefully laid out on a rock with nothing but a freshly picked bunch of flowers next to her lifeless form. Detective Jenna Alton is called in to investigate the gruesome discovery.

With the body found just off a popular hiking route, Jenna believes the killer is a visitor to the town...until a second local girl is discovered.

Within days, Kate Bright, a school friend of Felicity’s, is found brutally murdered at the local swimming pool, and once again the killer has displayed his victim in a terrifying manner and left flowers at the scene. The town is gripped with fear, and Jenna and her deputy, David Kane, now know that the killer is living among them and that he’s picking off school girls one by one. But they don’t know who is next on the list.

As the trail goes cold, Kane and Alton are forced to sit and wait for the killer to make his next move. But now he has a new victim in his sights, and he’s looking much closer to home....

If you love Robert Dugoni, Karin Slaughter, and Rachel Abbott, you’ll love this nail-biting thriller from D.K. Hood.

What’s disconcerting about audio books?

One of the things I find disconcerting about audio books is the narrator.
In this particular story it took me half way through the book to enjoy the story and not be so focussed on the narrator. Having started this book straight after book 1 in the series, I was very out off by the fact that the narrator is not the same as in book 1.
The narrator in book2 had a sort of Irish lilt to her accent and was very different to book 1. It just sounded wrong.
I think that once a narrator is used for one book in a series then that person should continue through the series.
Other than that, I enjoyed the story line and the characters and will be waiting anxiously
For book 3 in the series.

Narrator difficult to listen to through out

The hoarse voice and weird fluctuations between British sounding and western - just didn’t work for me. Distracted from the story

Good book

loved the book but didn't like the narrator. she spoke in a monotone voice. Thanks

Good series

This is an entertaining series. Different narrator than book 1, but this one was not much better. When the narrator is off putting it detracts from the story. We meet a new deputy which raises issues and questions. The first time the first time the killer interacts with the law enforcement, I knew it was him. Red herrings were strewn, but I was not deterred, nor was I wrong. at the conclusion when his past history was discussed as a young boy, it was pretty gut wrenching.

just one thing...

This is a Montana set story and after being raised in MT and WY, it is disappointing to have a narrator with a European accent.

fantastic once again!!

I love the twists & turns of this series! I find myself holding my breath at times! can't wait to hear what lies ahead fir Alton & Kane!!

Narrated

I love D.K Hood as an author but the narrator pick for this book was not good. The narrator was very robotic in her voice and the voices were mostly the
Same you could tell they were the same person. Over all the book was great as usual as per D.K Hoods writings. But narrator not good choice!

Narrator Hurt This Book

I like this story & the series. The narrator on this book #2 however was not as good as the 1st book in the series. She had trouble, in my opinion, with distinguishing the male voices & also just sounded flat, minus the emotion needed. I’m still going to continue with the series & trust another narrator will be used.

HORRIBLE Narator!!!! Irish Voice doesnt fit!!

I love this series. I began on book 3. and finished the series. only to read 1 and now 2 last. this was horrible and painful to get through. I really wanted to know how Wolf joined the team and this was that story. I could not enjoy any of it because of the Voice.

Narrator Ugh!

Struggled because narrator has no business reading books out loud unless it's for babies or toddlers. Storyline was good and the development of characters was good.
