When a young girl disappears, I cannot imagine the agony the parents must go through. The hours they have to wait, hoping and praying the news will be good. And sometimes, there is good news and the family is reunited. Sometimes though they never find the missing person and there never will be closure. Sometimes the body is found and this means the end of the long wait and the feelings of hope change into those of sadness and loss.

Killers are found, but there are often not found either, allowing them to keep on playing their sick games.

Sometimes putting the killer behind bars is not enough and the family wants some answers to the why.

Nikki is still trying to get those answers from the man who killed her sister. After 15 long years he drops a bomb shell and Nikki is determined to get to the bottom of it all. It seems like she has stirred the nornet's nest...

I liked Nikki. She goes after what she wants even if she has to color out of the box. She is like a dog with a bone and wiating is not one of her strong points. When she sniffs a lead, she will follow her nose no matter where it takes her.

The author has written a splendid start to a new series I am looking forward to devour as soon as possible. Books two and three are already waiting for me and I won't leave them hanging for too long.

5 stars for this story that made me trust the wrong person as per usual and that can only mean kudos to the author for creating this great book and for leading me down the wrong path. :)

Thank you

On the anniversary of her sister’s death, FBI agent Nikki Cassidy takes a call that has her heart pounding in her chest, the image of her beautiful sister Caitlin etched in her mind.

The killer is back.Nikki rushes to her small hometown of Groveton, Ohio. She will do anything to stop another young girl dying, but she soon realises that nothing is what it seems—everyone in her hometown is keeping a secret. And when a note is discovered near Natalie’s body addressed to Nikki, it’s clear what the murderer really wants: her…
Loved this one. This is a new author to me.
