With no leads, the investigation hit a dead end.

Now another woman's body is found it the woods. When the trail leads to the missing teens' remains, the cold case becomes a fresh hell for forensic technician Georgia Morgan. But while Georgia works with Amber to try and reawaken her memories, her gut tells her the worst is yet to come.

Homicide Detective Jake Bishop can't be sure whether Amber is an expert manipulator or the killer's next target. Either way, he's determined to protect Georgia. Because the more she digs into the past, the more deadly secrets emerge. And a nightmare years in the making is about to come to a bloody, terrifying end.

Contains mature themes.

Great story!

Another brilliant story by Mary Burton.
Suspense thriller with some romance and police procedures
Narration was good

Painful to listen to

I love Mary Burton but the narrators of this book made it impossible to capture my attention. I listen all the way to chapter 6 hoping that instagram would pick up at some point but the monotonous flat voice of the narrators made it impossible.

Book #4, NOT book #2!

This book tells the story of the last sibling, the adopted Morgan daughter. She, as a forensic scientist with a curious mind, is put in charge of cold cases, by her oldest brother, the Nashville PD Chief.
The story centers around a five year old cold case of 3 teens who went into the forest but only one came out, and she has amnesia.
This book is well worth the credit, but I suggest that while the books can be read as stand alone stories, you'll have a richer understanding of the family and its dynamics if you start with the oldest brother and then the other brothers in order. All 4 of the books in the series are well worth the credits!

Terrible Narration - Good Story

Good story IF you can suffer through the terrible narration. Relieved this was in the Plus Catalogue !

There should be some disclaimers....and a different narrator.

Usually, I really enjoy this author. I read others in this series. This author tends to border on emotional meanness between characters who then magically fall in love, but the mystery and twists are worth it. Not this book. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

The gratuitous sex is fine when it suits the story or character development. I'm not a prude at all, but gratuitous sex between teenagers and their half brother, and worse yet sex between a father and daughter represented without any disgust or acknowledgement that it was wrong. like "Oh yeah, she seduced her father and had raunchy sex with her brother, intentionally, but let's just focus on her victimology and supposed amnesia. There was so much sex in this book, it seemed it was every 30 seconds when people started getting naked. It actually pulled the story away from continuity.

This book was also the first from this author that was predictable, and painstakingly slow. Although I have purchased titles from this author, and I have loved quite a few of the series, this book has taken her off my reading list for a while.
