This was a thrilling story which kept me turning the pages throughout the night. Great mystery, writing and plotting will recommend to all my friends who love this genre.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short, fast read - under 200 pages.

The characters are likeable, believable- cops who love their jobs, still have compassion.

Strong female detective who will stop at nothing to find this serial killer before the body count increases - I have to read the other books in this series!

This is the first 'Tara' book I've read and while there are others in the series this stood alone without any problems. It was a quick and pleasant read. Nothing stands out as phenomenal and it is easily forgettable.

Overall, a nice story to sit down with and enjoy an afternoon reading ;)

Homicide detective Tara Woods and her team investigate a series of murders of young women with dark hair found in shallow graves with pink hair clips In their hair and dolls dressed in pink on their bodies.
The Police Chief thinks there are similarities to murders that Tara’s dad and he investigated years previously.
They must find the common link and solve the crimes.
Good, fast paced, police procedural, stand alone book.

I am so excited that this is part of a series. Even though the book stands alone, I love the characters and am really pleased there are more opportunities to engage with them. And it is engaging - I felt like part of the action rather than an observer. The author depicts New York with vivid language and a level of detail which allows you to visualise the setting. A great read.

Several women have been abducted, later their bodies found all around Manhattan. They all have long dark hair, a pink barrette in their hair, each also having a doll dressed in pink on their bodies.

Homicide Detective Tara Woods and her partner are called to investigate and are amazed to find links to the same kinds of crimes 30 years ago. Tara must determine the common link between the two investigations in order to bring down a vicious and cunning killer.

When the killer turns his eyes on his next victim, someone close to the detectives, it becomes very personal.

Although fourth in this series, TERRORIZING TARA, can easily be read as a stand alone, as do each of the other stories. It's well written with deftly drawn characters, who relate to each other with humor, each knowing the other has their back. It's fast paced with lots of action... leading to a very satisfactory ending. It's a short read ...less than 150 pages.
