The Day We Died

The Sydney Booth Series, Book 1

By: Wendy Owens

Narrated by: Leanne Woodward

Almost two decades after Sydney's father was imprisoned for being the "Lipstick Killer", she and her family are finally happy.

They have new identities, and the secret that her father was a notorious serial killer is one Sydney and her mother will never share, not even with her brother, who was an infant when their lives were changed forever.

Sydney has a job she loves, processing crime scenes. After several months of dating, she's starting to think she has found a man that could be the one. Just when she starts to allow herself to think her past might actually be behind her, a woman is discovered murdered, wearing the shade of lipstick her father put on the victims of his brutal killings.

As more evidence turns up, Sydney must decide if she should go to the police and risk blowing up this new life they've built or keep quiet.

Nice read

I bought this book right from the author at The Authors of the Bluegrass. I do not want to give the store away. But it was a really good read for me. It being a crime book reader all the time. This one had a nice flow and story. It had me guess at points as well. I would read another if the author writes another.

Good psychological thriller

Imagine finding out that the father whom you adored was a serial killer…this was Sydney Booth’s life 20 yrs ago. At that time her mother relocated Sydney and her baby brother far away. Now Sydney is a crime scene tech…and someone appears to be copying her father’s kills. What to do when your past comes a-knocking?
I can honestly say ‘I didn’t see that end coming!! Good story.
