Summary

An intensely dark, gripping thriller from the bestselling author of My Little Brother

Sometimes your past just won't let go...

As a heatwave grips the country, DS Jenna Morgan is called to a domestic incident at the home of a young family in Ironbridge.

Pregnant Imelda Cheetham-Epstein has been found unconscious by her husband, Zak, with serious head injuries.

When Jenna arrives on the scene, she discovers something even more disturbing – the couple's eleven-month-old son, Joshua, is missing and the race against time begins to find him.

Is this an accident or something more sinister?

Are the two incidents linked?

Or has something in the Cheetham-Epsteins' past caught up with them?

The fourth thrilling instalment in the DS Jenna Morgan series, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter.

A good listen

I like this series it keeps me interested and listening and the narration is good.
Having listened to all the books in the series I have just one (or three) niggles. I wish the author would use a thesaurus and vary 'jiggle' and 'gurgle' and 'twitch' maybe adding in a 'shrug' here and there or a 'chuckle', for example.
Otherwise, all good.

A good listen but...

Enjoyed the book, but was rather frustrated that the "twist" was so obvious v early on, and this made Jenna seem incompetent rather than a lead character to admire.

Another gripping tale from Diane Saxon

I have to admit I have become addicted to this series of books and have really taken to the characters. This book was an excellent read and the storyline developed with some interesting twists and turns which were sensitively handled. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
