From the turn of the first page this novel immediately grabbed my attention and I could not put this book down until the last page was read. The author has a way with the narrative visually putting me in the middle of all the action as I felt Julia’s trepidation of seeing her past, mainly her father, appears right in front of her eyes. Why is he here? What does he know about her brother’s disappearance. Is it a coincidence that the players involved in the murder case Julia is investigating may be connected to her father’s return? In this grippingly intriguing tale, we are taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that starts out slow but then packs a wallop when it all comes together. As this book comes to its conclusion, the tempo reaches a crescendo pitch when Julia learns the truth about what happened long ago, the revelation was a surprising twist that I did not see coming. All the main character had pivotal roles that enhanced the telling of this fast-paced drama that rocks everything to its core. This is the best book in this terrific series and I hope there are more stories left to be told with Julia, Navarro and their friends.

Jane Gooden overcame a dark and tragic childhood to go on to become a successful reporter with two sons and a new relationship with a handsome police detective. But all Jane’s efforts to overcome her past are in disarray when her father, absent for thirty years turns up on her doorstep. Duke Gooden was never a good man or a good father, and Jane is not pleased to see him now, but she holds out hope that he may know what happened to her brother Ben all those years ago. Not even a month after her father left, Ben, her nine-year old brother, disappeared. Could Duke have information about what happened to Ben? But other people are looking for Duke, people he conned years ago, and they want revenge. Haseldine creates realistic characters and then drops them in impossible situations to see how they react. Highly recommended
