Summary

The Fear Is Terrifying

When police rescue five-year-old Jenna Thompson from the dark closet where she's been held captive for days, they tell her she's a lucky girl. Compared to the rest of her family, it's true. But even with their killer dead of an overdose, Jenna is still trying to find peace 25 years later.

But the Truth

On leave from her forensic artist job, Jenna returns to Nashville, the city where she lost so much. Instead of closure she finds a new horror. Detective Rick Morgan needs Jenna's expertise in identifying the skeletal remains of a young child. The case jogs hazy, half-buried memories - and a nagging dread that Jenna's ordeal hasn't ended.

Is Even Worse

Now other women are dying. And as the links between these brutal killings and Jenna's past becomes clear, she knows this time a madman will leave no survivors....

Mary Burton always produces a good story.

This is the second book in the Morgan's of Nashville series. it can be read as a standalone book.

Jenna Thompson arrives in Nashville and sets up as a pavement portrait artist. She has taken leave from her police post in Baltimore, where she works as a forensic artist, to put to rest the murder of her family twenty five years before.

Detective Rick Morgan asks for her help in discovering the identity of a set of bones of a child that have been found.

While she is doing this woman start to die in strange circumstances. What is the link to Jenna or is there a link at all?

I found the narrator difficult to listen to at times as she seemed to drag on and lack in expression.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
