Book #12 in the Josie Quinn Series!
This is one of my favorite book series and I will keep reading these books until Lisa stops writing them!
However, I must admit this one wasn’t my favorite. It was really good, don’t get me wrong. There was plenty of action as Denton was dealing with multiple killings and missing persons.
I think what I missed from this book was just a bit more character development. For example, between Noah and Josie or even Amber and Mett. To be fair though, I think we didn’t get this type of character development just because this was Josie’s time to develop. Especially since the tragic ending of the last book, Josie has lots of work to do on herself.
Back to the story, it was a basic police procedural. Josie and her team will stop at nothing to stop the killer. There were numerous twists, several secrets uncovered, and many misdirections. I truly didn’t expect the ending!
I’m already looking forward to reading the next installment! Maybe Josie and Noah will have babies!?
Thank you to Bookouture for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.
About the Book:
The woman is kneeling at a gravestone, her hair blowing in the breeze, a bunch of wilting yellow daffodils on the grass beside her. Her eyes are fixed on the ground and her mouth is parted in a silent prayer. But the wax dripping from her cold blue lips means it’s already too late to save her…
On her first day back with the Denton PD after a major trauma, Detective Josie Quinn is on the hunt for a missing woman, Krystal Duncan, the mother of one of five children killed in a devastating school bus crash. Hours later, Josie finds Krystal’s body beside her daughter’s grave, her lips sealed together forever with wax.
Forensics match the wax to one of the candles lit in memory of the sweet little souls who died, giving Josie her first lead to a support group made up of the parents who lost children in the crash. Painstakingly dissecting the lives of these grieving couples, it’s clear to Josie that each of them is hiding something about the day of the accident—but whose secret is worth killing for?
The case takes an agonizing turn when the body of another young mother is found near the site of the bus crash. Someone connected to the accident is out for revenge. As the members of the support group are picked off one by one, every second counts for Josie to save the lives of these loving parents who have already suffered the loss of those they treasured most…
An absolutely gripping and totally unputdownable crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Be warned, this book will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.
