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....

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.

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 read.

This is a really good book and I enjoyed it. A little bit creative with some of the facts and details but nevertheless a gripping book which keeps you hooked until the end.
The narrator is good, and cleverly distinguishes between the voices of different characters. I will be buying the next in the series.
