Detective Morgan Brooks has seen some ugly things in her career, but the attack and murder of a young mother in her own home with her young daughter as witness, tops them all. DNA at the scene matches a man already in prison, where he’s been for the last 20 years. Another DNA match comes back to Morgan herself, who must face the fact that she may somehow be connected to this case. As she investigates a spate of twenty year old crimes, will Morgan be to preoccupied to see the present day killer as he gets ever closer? Phifer has some great storylines, but her dialogue and pacing are just a little off, making this a pleasant, but not compelling, read

Loved this book! It was pretty clear where the story was heading from about 40% in and I had 2 characters in mind for who the brother was. Cannot wait for book 3!

A gripping read with a killer twist. I really did not see that one coming. I love the characters in this book and their interaction is great. It's refreshing to read a police procedural where the cops actually get on and the senior officers are not trying to get rid of the main character. I look forward to reading more about Morgan, Ben, Amy et al soon.

this book was pretty good, interesting but i would have liked it much better if it had more emotional context with the mystery. and yes there were so many coincidences but aside from that. the main character, given all that she found out would have reacted differently

This is the second book starring Detective Morgan Brookes. Morgan and her boss are called to a home where the body of a young woman called Gabby had been found tied to her bed. As Morgan and the team starts to investigate the case seems to be more closely linked to Morgan than anyone would believe.
This is a great second book to this new series and I loved the teaser at the end for book three. The characters are developing as are their relationships with each other.
Can’t wait for book three.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow oh wow!! This book is definitely my absolute favourite of Helen's yet! I have been taken completely on a rollercoaster and this has been utterly impossible to put down.
I love Helen's books anyway, they have all been five star reads and this one is absolutely no different! However, this is definitely my absolute favourite. Helen has thrown in twists and turns that I have been completely unable to predict.
I adore Morgan, she's so likeable and realistic. I'm so glad we got to revisit her in this book. Still, we know she attracts trouble and this is no different. However, we do develop a more unique depth knowledge of Morgan in this book and I'll be honest, I want to give her a big cwtch.
I love this cover, it's enough to catch your eye and make you want to read this book. I've definitely been on a rollercoaster journey reading this one. The ending, I actually can't believe it ended where it did! I absolutely need more and hope it means there's more to come from these characters.
Another absolutely fantastic read by a truly fabulous author. A definite five star read.
