Book two in this fabulous series featuring Detective Megan Carpenter and this is again a brilliant read that is both gripping and with such a strong lead character in Megan it’s one that I found difficult to put down and having a lot if time on my hands I flew through it.
So Megan has what begins with the body of a young woman left badly beaten in what seems to have been posed position in a secluded inlet with an odd symbol left etched on a rock nearby. When Megan does some more investigating this throws up similar murders and with the aid of Deputy Ronnie Marsh who is new to the job the pair find more clues that connect making this look like they have a serial killer on the loose and to make things worse it also seems that Megan has someone who knows her past following her every move.
With Megan initially finding it difficult to have a rookie tagging along I found the growing friendship between these two women really enjoyable and it showed another side to the normally brusque and solitary person she is.
I love this series it’s so well written and I love the backstory of Megan and can’t wait for book three to find out more.
Well recommended and many thanks to Gregg Olsen for an amazing book.
My thanks also to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Detective Megan Carpenter and rookie Ronnie Marsh is on the scene of a murder that involves a young woman who appears to have been bound before death. The markings on a nearby rock seem to be a clue and Megan soon links that death to the murders of two other women, all found with similar markings nearby and all were pregnant. As Megan works to uncover a killer, she is in fear that someone will uncover her own secrets, secrets that may jeopardize more than just her job
