Story4.5 out of 5 stars 131
When the body of a young woman is found, tied to her bed and the victim of a brutal attack in her own home, Detective Morgan Brookes is sickened by what she finds as she searches the house, and unprepared for the nightmares it inspires about her childhood. When the DNA collected gives a positive ID, Morgan can’t wait to put the attacker behind bars. But the person it matches to is already in prison. How could the DNA of someone who has been locked up for over 20 years have shown up in Morgan’s crime scene? And then they make another close match - to Morgan herself.

Publisher's Summary
She knelt down by the side of the first girl. She had to force herself to breathe as she lifted the soft white cloth covering the girl’s beautiful face....
When the body of a woman is found hanging from a tree in her front garden, rookie Detective Morgan Brookes is first on the scene. But Olivia Potter is past saving. And when her husband and daughters cannot be traced, Morgan knows there is more to this tragedy. And then she finds them. Lying huddled together in the dark basement, each of their faces covered with a small cotton cloth, their bodies cold to the touch.
But as Morgan kneels beside the family, she realizes that one of the girls is still breathing. As she holds Bronte’s fragile hand in hers, begging her to hold on, she vows to find out who has done this.
Every day Morgan wakes at 4.25 a.m., her old insomnia now mixed with a new fixation on the case. But every clue about the murdered family leads to a dead end. Until, trawling through old files, she discovers a link to a cold case from years ago. Another family was murdered in this house, and the killer was never caught.
When Morgan returns to the scene of the crime to discover more about this forgotten case, she finds another body. With Bronte still unconscious in hospital, Morgan must act fast to solve this case and lay two families to rest, before the killer returns for the girl left alive....

Good start to the series
On her first day alone on patrol, PC Morgan Brookes is first on the scene of an apparent suicide by hanging. While the experienced DI is ready to sign off on the victim, Morgan isn’t so sure. There’s more to the story of a wealthy woman taking her own life. When Morgan returns to the scene the following day and locates the rest of the family in the basement, the murders are eerily similar to a decades old case...at the same house. Except, in this case, one of the daughters is alive, barely but alive. Good story with this rookie being thrust into the Criminal Division to make up numbers but her investigative acumen is astounding. Enjoyable sub-story of Morgan’s relationships with her father and the DI. Looking forward to the next book.

Not sure I'd like a $5 listen. I loved it. I thought it was a good and clever police procedural. I like the cast of characters and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

awful
Am I supposed to believe this is anywhere near being reality. Kept talking Morgan up like she was some modern day Sherlock when it was what anyone with half a brain would of done.
Typical officers who fall for each other, putting aside age difference. And of course she is young and beautiful, he's a slob. It's just not an interesting story and moves incredibly slow. I won't be reading anymore, if there are more.

Decent read
Good story but disappointed in obvious links the experienced cops missed, that were so obvious it was clear that the story relied on them being inept. I should not be able to figure out the ending before the experienced cop characters do.

Utter rubbish
This is the only book in the 6 titles I buy on average a month from audible. Completely awful story line whining female (Morgan) and equally useless DS.... save your money if you are an avid crime/thriller reader. Got to chapter 19 and gave up!

Sunday afternoon mystery for Hallmark channel
Probably good for teenagers, as 'light' and with a little romance on the side. Cannot be considered for serious mystery or crime readers! I managed to finish it but I was determined.

Best thing about this book aswell is the title where it says book1 .. I am very excited to get to listen to book 2 and many many many more books after that I’m this new Detective series
Well done to all involved

Great story despite narration
Good story ruined by narrator. Beautiful sing song voice accented with wonder and amazement that any six year old would find enchanting but not for a decent murder mystery. festive a famous five novel.

Just a bit meh...
I found the main character annoying... the things that happened to her very unbelievable and the plot a bit dull... sorry - not my favourite!

Fast paced thriller
Really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to hearing more about DC Morgan Brookes, she's talented, especially at the beginning of Ch12, driving the ambulance at the same time as holding Bronte's hand all the way while paramedics worked on her!!
Thoroughly enjoyable story.

enjoyable but predictable
likeable new police officer Morgan is a character I enjoyed. typical grizzle seasoned cop Ben is with her. despite the predictability there is some twists but I still enjoyed and would recommend and am about to read the next in the series. narration was a strength

Annoying
Morgan sounds like a twit. There was something missing in this story, it was the sentimentality or lazy character choices? S the writing was ceo she

Suspense and murder
I really enjoyed this writers style. I found myself feeling for the main characters, particularly Morgan. Definitely worth listening to

Horrendous
If I could give a zero I would. I managed to get through about a quarter before I couldn't read any more. No police procedure followed by the characters, unbelievable story line and unnecessary romance between main characters. Lots of clichès, poor dialogue and nothing in the story development to keep you guessing. This is my second attempt at a Helen Phifer and I will not be making a third. Don't waste your time or the pricy $14.95, it's not even worth picking up at the Big W $2 disposal bin.

I cannot recommend the reader nor the story!
Some people just cannot read books. l am increasingly aware for myself how sensitive and inflexible l am in regard to poor readers and their ability to destroy a book. So profound is this for me that l am unable to actually hear the story as the voice dominates it for me.
This has occurred with the book
