Publisher's summary

Can DS Karen Hart rely on the word of a little girl to save the life of a woman in grave danger?

When a woman is abducted from a quiet suburban street and bundled into the back of a white van, the only witness to the crime is a child with a reputation for telling tall tales.

The police doubt the girl’s story, except for Detective Karen Hart, who is determined to follow her instincts—perhaps because the shy little girl reminds her of the daughter she’s still grieving.

When a playing card is found at the scene, Karen finds her first clue. And when a second card is found at the home of a missing woman, Tamara, Karen finds her victim. But before the team can catch their breath, another woman linked to Tamara is snatched. And then a body turns up in a farmer’s field.

With the crimes having escalated from kidnap to murder, Karen must unlock the killer’s calling-card code before any more victims are taken. But getting to the truth isn’t going to be easy when Tamara’s family has so much to hide...

Critic reviews

“A 'must' for dedicated fans of police procedural murder mysteries…deftly and effectively narrated by professional voice actor Henrietta Meire. Offering a compelling 'theatre of the mind' experience for the listener from beginning to end…unreservedly recommended.”Midwest Book Review

Absolutely love this series

This series is so well written and the narrator is the best. I love the writing and how real it all feels. I also like that you do not know who did what until the author is ready for you to figure it out. Makes you feel more involved in solving the cases.

Great Read

What She Said (Detective Karen Hart #6) was a great read by D.S. Butler. It seems that DS Karen Hart must rely on the word of a little girl to save the life of a woman in a lot of danger. A woman is abducted from the quiet suburban street and put into the back of a white van, and a young child who has a reputation for telling tales was the only person to witness. Detective Karen Hart is the only person who seems to believe the young girl. The first clue is a playing card that is found at the scene. A second card is found at the home of a missing woman, Tamara, she is the victim. Unfortunately another woman linked to Tamara is snatched and a body turns up in a farmers field. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Entertaining, great narration.

The story line was a surprise, but not who was responsible for the events. There were hints regarding who was responsible on several occasions.

Great Book!

Once again DS Karen Hart and her associates beat the odds and find a very unlikely person who abducted and was responsible for the deaths of 2 women. D.S. Butler never fails with her mysteries! The narrator does an excellent job!

One of the best Crime Thriller Series

I can't explain how much I love these series. The story line grips me from the beginning till the end. I love the chemistry between Karen and Morgan and hoping for something more with those two. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. Keep it coming Butler!

Another Crazy Case for DS Hart

DS Hart's cases are all so different from novel to novel. The portrayal of the Americans had me chuckling. There's only book left. Hopefully, there will be more to come.
