The atrocities in St Angela’s, a former children’s home, links to murders
being committed decades later. For lead Detective Lottie Parker, the case
gets personal with a connection to her own family.
This story has it all, compelling characters, a strong plot, a lot of action, suspense, and tension.
It was so well written, I could feel the characters pain, the greed, and the sadness.
The twists and turns throughout the book came to a very satisfying ending.
Reading this novel was fascinating and totally engaging, I highly recommend it to others.

Wow! This was such a wonderful book! Thrilling and tense, with so many twists. A page turning, unputdownable read. The suspense builds up throughout the book and the pace never lets down. And the ending - wow! I did not see it coming! I am in awe of this author. So glad I discovered her. This book and author goes straight to the top of my favourites list. I cannot wait to read more from her. Five amazing stars.

A strong debut featuring interesting characters and just the right amount of humour, the conclusion is a perfect ending to begin book two.
3* because as each character was introduced I was able to place them in both the current and historical plotline, knowing who the bad guys were long before the author revealed them.
Well written, fast paced, a twisted plot, humour, strong characters. If only there was more suspense.

The dark secrets of a former children’s home come to light when Detective Lottie Parker catches two death investigations. One victim is a woman found inside a church, the other, a man found hung from a tree in his own yard. Both have poorly executed tattoos on their legs, but other than that, what links them. Lottie’s investigation leads her to a closed children’s home that has ties to her own family. While she’s investigating the deaths, two teenage boys disappear and Lottie is forced to wonder if her case could be endangering her own children.
