Summary
Joanie Brewer's children mean the world to her. She'd do anything to make sure they're fed and clothed ¿ even if it means going on the game ¿ and she lives in constant fear that one of them will be taken from her. Eighteen-year-old Jon Jon is knee-deep in crime, and Jeanette, only 14, knows more than is good for her. But it's Kira who really scares her, for in a world where no one is to be trusted, her 11-year-old angel is the most vulnerable to danger.
When the police tell Joanie that a child's body has been found, her darkest fears are realised. She thinks she's in the know when it comes to who killed her little girl, but her deadly obsession with making him pay threatens to destroy them all.

Loved from the start. I'm a huge fan of this author. You are gripped from the start to the end and left wanting more.
This was my first audio book, although I have read the paper version it seemed so much more believable.
