Summary

How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace?

A victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn't add up.

When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their death, this could be her most difficult case yet.

Desperate to catch the twisted individual, Kim's focus on the case is threatened when she receives a chilling letter from Dr. Alex Thorne, the sociopath who Kim put behind bars. And this time, Alex is determined to hit where it hurts most, bringing Kim face-to-face with the woman responsible for the death of Kim's little brother - her own mother.

As the body count increases, Kim and her team unravel a web of dark secrets, bringing them closer to the killer. But one of their own could be in mortal danger. Only this time, Kim might not be strong enough to save them.

A totally gripping thriller that will have you hooked from the very first minute to the final, dramatic twist.

Another great book in this series

Really warming to all the characters in these books. Even the unlikable, malevolent ones. These thrillers are really challenging, rarely do all the bits fit together easily so you don't get bored. A really good read, and good narration - I do sort of half and half read and listen.

fantastic as ever.

Still going strong, Kim Stone and the others do it again. If you enjoyed the other books this one will not disappoint. I love how we learn even more about Kim and Mikie's early childhood.

Old storyline bit far fetched.

Bringing Alex back into it, running things from inside prison and being able to blackmail so many people was too far fetched and spoilt this book.

Crime, manipulation, family, murder, revenge.

Jan Cramer does the most amazing job narrating the Kim Stone books, and I have really missed this series.

As well as dealing with a whole story in itself, this book carries on a larger arc in Kim's life. You don't need to have read the previous books to be able to jump in as you'll still get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a crime thriller, but knowing the full story adds whole extra (sinister) layers.

These books seem to get better and better. There is no sign of the series plateauing, everything still feels fresh and works incredibly. It's another gripping installment, excellently narrated.
