About this listen

Cassie Morgan was just 17 years old when she died at the hands of a sadistic killer.

Homicide Detective Harry Starke caught the case, and he knew right from the beginning that it was going to be a bad one, and he was right. Too many clues, too many suspects, too many bodies, and a police chief more interested in his career than justice for the victims. For Harry, it was the last straw, and it had been a long time coming.

Continuing my Harry Starke binge it was nice to get to the story that lead to Harry leaving the police force. Again binged this in two days as I wanted to know what was happening.

My personal opinion is that I dont like the cover but that is just personal I know that they were showing the early 2000's

I was given a free copy by the narrator but the review is totally my own.

Really enjoyable - narration suited the story
