About this audiobook
Meet Amy Winter: Detective Inspector, daughter of a serial killer.
DI Amy Winter is hoping to follow in the footsteps of her highly respected police officer father. But when a letter arrives from the prison cell of Lillian Grimes, one half of a notorious husband-and-wife serial-killer team, it contains a revelation that will tear her life apart.
Responsible for a string of heinous killings decades ago, Lillian is pure evil. A psychopathic murderer. And Amy’s biological mother. Now, she is ready to reveal the location of three of her victims—but only if Amy plays along with her twisted game.
While her fellow detectives frantically search for a young girl taken from her mother’s doorstep, Amy must confront her own dark past. Haunted by blurred memories of a sister who sacrificed herself to save her, Amy faces a race against time to uncover the missing bodies.
But what if, from behind bars, Grimes has been pulling the strings even tighter than Amy thought? And can she overcome her demons to prevent another murder?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was very unrealistic as it relates to the actions of the main character. It was very hard to believe that as an accomplished police officer she would be so stupid. It really made it hard for me to enjoy the book. Don’t get me wrong, there were some entertaining sub plots and the “villain” was not easily predicted. But the main character was extremely hypocritical as she managed and gave advice to her subordinates; advice she herself could have followed and made things a lot easier. She was just a bit too incompetent for my liking.
