About this ebook

Two girls went into the woods. Only one came back. . . .

Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens is on the trail in this “riveting” (Publishers Weekly) crime novel from the acclaimed author of She Lies in Wait, Watching from the Dark, and Lie Beside Me


ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: BookPage

Jonah Sheens is enjoying a moment of peace in a pub garden on his day off when a teenage girl wanders out of the woods. She’s striking, with flame-red hair and a pale complexion. She’s also covered in blood.
 
When Jonah races to help, the girl insists she’s fine. Then she smiles. It’s her sister he needs to worry about. Keely and her sister, Nina, disappeared from a children’s home a week ago. Now Keely is here—but Nina’s still missing. Jonah is sure Keely knows where her sister is—but before she tells him anything, she insists, he has to listen to her story from the beginning.
 
Is she witness, victim, or killer? And if Jonah follows the trail of clues in her story, will they lead him to the missing girl—or distract him until it’s too late?

My Review: I want to start off by saying that I really enjoyed this book a lot. I never read any of this authors books and I’m so happy that I picked this one up. You just never know what you’re going to get when you try a new author. This was book four in the DCI Jonah Sheens Series but I had no problems reading it as a stand alone. Of course it’s always better to read the books that came before it in a series but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I am constantly reading books out of order and I love it. Now on to the book itself. I really loved all the police characters and the way they worked and interacted together to solve the case. Each of them had a specific role in the case and they did it exceptionally well. The story was an interesting one. You had two sisters that went missing and all of a sudden one pops back up but refuses to say where her sister was. In fact, she wants the police to listen to her story from the very beginning and have them figure out what was going on. She was giving out subtle clues throughout her whole story. The only thing that drove me nuts about this book was you had to make sure you read every word. One paragraph would be one story then the next paragraph would jump to another story. For example, you would be in the police station interviewing a suspect with one detective then next paragraph you would be at a crime scene with another detective. You had to really pay attention to what you were reading. Once I realized this and paid more attention to what I was reading I really let myself go get immersed into the story and couldn’t put this one down. I can’t wait to read more books by this author. In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 4 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️
