I read this book here through NetGalley. and loved it. My review for this book is already posted here, but I was given the chance to listen to the audio book and jumped on it!. Wow fantastic! This narrator really brought these characters to life and the story jumped off the pages.!

Liked this book! Such a good crime thriller.
Closed door spicy scenes.
Had me on the edge several times during the book.
The pace of the plot is done excellently!
Characters are developed for the most part.
I loved the history between Vera & Bent - the FMC & MMC.
Touch her and die trope vibes.
Heroine alert. Intelligent women alert.
I didn’t want the book to end - I needed to know more about The Messenger’s Grandson!
I have not read the first book, but plan to go back and read that now. I did fine reading as a standalone but having more of the background from book one would have made me even more invested.
Engaging. Plot twists. Investigative/Crime thriller.
I am now a big Debra Webb fan!
Thank you to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Debra Webb for the opportunity to review this ARC

Another amazing suspenseful read by Debra Webb. Debra is a favorite of mine. But this book to me really shows her skill. This is a sequel to DEEPER THEN THE DEAD. however, it can be read as a standalone. And that’s because of Debra‘s amazing skill. She can weave in parts of book one so that you don’t feel as though you’ve missed anything in this book. But at the same time if you’ve read book one you don’t feel like there was any wasted words. She was able to inform new readers of the series in very few words.
Vera is being targeted by a serial killer. It seems like it may be The Messenger, but how is that possible when she arrested him and sent him to prison already. Is there a copycat killer out there? When Vera’s sister Eve gets taken, Vera vows that she will find out what is going on. This time she will end it!
Family dynamics, twisted, gruesome killings, a definite edge of your seat, thriller! I would love to be able to give this more than five stars. I definitely cannot wait for the next book in the series.
