Book two starring Dr Sharp and Detective Elliot Young and I can assure you it’s as good or maybe even better than the first one. 
Both detectives are working well together and the air is more than sizzling between them. Will they give in yet or will the author let the tension build up a little more? Well, that for me to know already and for you to still find out.
Sharp and Young are called in when a murder victim has been discovered. They team up, but then Elliot is 	assigned another case. They don’t seem to be connected at all or do they?
Murder, kidnapping, abuse, beautiful but forbidden love are a few of the ingredients of this fantastic book. There is a lot more going on than meets the eye and it’s all there for you to find out if, correction, when you decide to read or rather devour the book too. 
This story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I loved it. 
I have read some fantastic books the last couple of years and when I thought I had seen it all, the authors kept surprising me with more wonderful and thrilling stories.
Authors are magicians and they put a spell on their readers. Thank you for making my mind working overtime. 5 stars.

Thank you, Leslie Wolfe and Bookouture

I enjoyed the first book of this series and the second surely didn't disappoint either! 
This book is full of suspense. Leslie really knows how to grab a hold of your attention and take you for a ride.

Detective Kay Sharp never intended to return to her tiny hometown of Mount Chester, but when a seventeen year old girl is murdered, Kay is sent back to head the investigation. Kay discovers the locket the dead girl was wearing belonged to a toddler named Rose, who disappeared 14 years earlier. But DNA shows that the dead girl is not Rose, so how did she get the missing girl’s necklace? Mount Chester may be a small community, but it has some huge secrets, as Kay is about to discover

Wow! Great book!! So many twists and turns!! I'm usually really good at figuring all the things out! But this book had me shocked quite a few times!! This book was definitely thrilling had lots of heart pounding moments! A real who done it!! I loved it! I highly recommend reading this one! Its well worth the read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

What a fast and fun crime thriller, the second in a series, an excellent followup to the first installment. 

Dr. Kay Sharp, formerly of the San Francisco FBI field office, now resides in her hometown of Mount Chester and is working for the Franklin County Sheriff's Department as a detective. She and her new partner, Deputy Elliot Young, are called to attend the discovery of a body behind the falls at Blackwater River. The 17-year-old has been left with her throat cut and wears an unusual locket on her neck. DNA identifies the murdered victim as Rose Harrelson -- the interesting bit being that she had been reported as kidnapped 14 years ago. Of course this sends up red flags to the detectives and soon there is more drama when the press publishes the story only to find out that they have misidentified the dead girl and everyone knows her as Alyssa Caldwell, the only daughter of a rich local family and heir to the Caldwell Farms fortune. Of course Kay is not satisfied that the scientific analysis was an error and she beings to investigate the kidnapping case that was never solved. Meanwhile, a runaway has found her way to Mount Chester by various means and is held captive in an old house by a vicious psychopath. There's a lot going on in this book and it has quite a few twists and turns that made it a very compelling read.

I must say that I liked this much more than the first book and I sat, glued to the pages, until I reached the dramatic conclusion. The revelations weren't entirely unexpected as I am a very good guesser having read so many books of this type, but I really enjoyed the writing and the way that the author dangled the red herrings and the details giving me the clues I needed. The narrative is full of action and drama and it was very hard to put down until the end. I was gratified that the story didn't contain a lot of romance though it is definitely imminent. I like both Kay and Elliot as characters and even more since I'm getting to "know" them. I look forward to the next book in this series and am only sorry that it will likely be a long wait having been spoiled by reading the first and second consecutively. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.
