About this listen
One by one the girls disappeared....
When the frail body of a teenage girl is discovered strangled in a parking lot, shards of ice form in Detective Natalie Ward’s veins. As Natalie looks at the freckles scattered on her cheeks and the pale pink lips tinged with blue, she remembers that this innocent girl is somebody’s daughter.
The girl is identified as missing teenager Amelia Saunders, who has run away from home and her controlling father. Natalie’s heart sinks further when it becomes clear that Amelia has been working on the streets, manipulated by her violent new boyfriend, Tommy.
A day later, another vulnerable girl is found strangled on a park bench. Like Amelia, Katie Bray was a runaway with connections to Tommy, and Natalie is determined to find him and track down the monster attacking these scared and lonely girls.
But when a wealthy young woman is found murdered the next morning, the word guilty scrawled on her forehead, Natalie realizes that the case is more complex than she first thought. Determined to establish a connection between her three victims, Natalie wastes no time in chasing down the evidence, tracing everyone who crossed their paths. Then, a key suspect’s body turns up in the canal, a mole in Natalie’s department leaks vital information and everything seems to be against her. Can Natalie stop this clever and manipulative killer before they strike again?
A crime thriller from a best-selling author that will have you sleeping with the light on. This gripping roller-coaster ride is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Rachel Caine. Prepare to be totally hooked!

I couldn’t wait to order this book as soon as it was released.
Do not start the series with this book. Start at the beginning to get the backstories of the major players.
Natalie is now a DCI so she has to leave the investigation to Lucy and the team. But we know Natalie won’t stop taking part. Sadly, multiple murders occur and trying to find a connection keeps Lucy’s team on their toes. I say sadly because I felt sadness at these crimes. In a short time, Carol Wyer made me care for the victims. Most of them at least. And as the story wrapped up, I felt sadness at the ending. Real sadness. I’m still upset.
There was a message here, too, about mental illness and homelessness.
Again, Diana Croft did a fine job with the narration.

A Story That Resonates Today
Carol Wyer has created an intricate and intriguing story. The underlying topics of homelessness and mental illness resonate in today's climate.
Newly promoted DCI Natalie Ward is working through the challenges of a blended family with her partner, Mike, when she's thrown into a complicated series of murders. Are they the work of one killer, or are they random. Natalie assigns the case to recently promoted Lucy, who is not only struggling with her own issues, but is unsure of herself as lead Investigator.
As the case progresses, the team finds themselves involved in department politics, the world of the homeless, sufferers of mental illness, drugs, and prostitution.
I had a few suspects at the beginning, but learned I wasn't close to solving this case. There were some great twists in this story and I was hooked till the end.
Diana Croft did an excellent job as narrator.

I don’t like Lucy in her new position - I want Natalie back - but I’m just because resistive to change 😎
I don’t really like Lucy being in her new position - too much lucy for me -i wanted natalie back - guess I’m resisting change 😎 Also hard to believe Natalie actually wanted it to be her sister/Frances there at the end -it scared me like only this series can-, I thought it could be a whole new story with Frances as a real psycho 😎
