Book Synopsis:
Dressed in pajamas covered with stars, the little girl’s body is perfectly still, her arms folded neatly over her chest. The wildflowers decorating her hair scatter across the grass in the sharp breeze. Her lips are parted slightly, as if to whisper goodnight for the very last time…
When twelve-year-old Holly Mitchell’s fragile little body is found on the steps of a mountainside church in the small town of Denton, a doll made from pine cones clasped tightly to her chest, Detective Josie Quinn rushes to attend the scene. She knows this little girl’s angelic face, her mother had offered Josie help when she’d needed it most.
Searching the girl’s house, Josie is devastated to find that Holly’s mother is dead too, and her little sister is missing. But why has this family home been stripped of all sharp objects? Re-tracing her steps, Josie finally finds a secret hiding place with Holly’s sister inside, terrified, but alive. Moments later, anotherdoll made of twigs turns up.
Certain the killer is close by, Josie holds the little girl tight and tries to coax answers from her, but it’s clear the pile of burnt photographs and letters found in the greenhouse is her only lead. No one is safe until Josie can figure out the dangerous secret that has escaped this remote family home.
Just when Josie is finally closing in on the killer, the unthinkable happens, a tragedy that shakes her to her very core. And on the windshield of her car: a third wooden doll. Could stopping this twisted monster from taking more innocent lives come at the ultimate price for Josie?
An absolutely gripping rollercoaster ride of a crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

My Review:
I’ve been a big fan of this author since her first book and in my opinion she keeps getting better and better.
This book was no exception and I quickly found myself absorbed into the story. I always love how the author gives the reader access to the investigation so that I often felt like I was working alongside them. The pace was very fast as I’ve come to expect with these books and I found the book very hard to put down at times as there always seemed to be something happening to keep me very intrigued.
I think I went through every emotion possible whilst reading and there were definitely some heartbreaking moments which I found very hard to read at times. There are some interesting themes discussed in this book which I found very interesting, especially as I hadn’t known much about them before. I hope that this book helps spread some awareness in real life.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next in the series. Josie has to be one of my favourite police characters and I really felt for her in this book as she seemed very changed by the end. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens next.
Huge thanks to Noelle from Bookouture for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book via netgalley. If you’re looking for a new crime thriller series I’d definitely recommend this one!
