I loved this book !!
This is the first instalment in a brand new series featuring Detective Clara Jefferies and it’s absolutely brilliant. Clara gets a phone call from an acquaintance in the hometown she left asking for her help as it seems her sister is missing, but this brings back many painful memories for Clara who had escaped from her polygamist family and is now considered to be an outcast. Ignoring her own feelings she returns to the small town desperate to try and find some clue as what has happened to her sister but she meets with hostility and refusals to speak from both her mother and other family members, but then a body is found but who is it !!
Well this really is a complex and exceptionally well written mystery thriller with a very different storyline that was so interesting. The book was well written with lots of information which really made for a compulsive read and I look forward to reading the next instalment of what I think will be a brilliant new series and much praise to Kathryn Casey for a completely satisfying 5 star read.
My thanks also to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW! Clara Jefferies is a smart and savvy detective! After leaving her polygamous family in Utah, Clara becomes a respected detective in Dallas... she is thrust back into her family's life when her little sister Delilah goes missing. She gets a call from Max, a former boyfriend, who has also returned to the area to alert her that her sister is missing. And, it's only after she arrives that she learns other young girls are missing... and someone is covering it up. Clara is brave, talented, and resourceful. Kathryn Casey has written an amazing book with a character who is multi-dimensional. Clara yearns for her family, but also is happy with her life away from them. It's a very interesting dynamic. I cannot wait to pick up where this novel left off! You will not be able to put this book down - fabulous!

Wow brilliant author. Kept me interested from Page 1. Didn't want the book to finish. Brilliant mystery.. Cant wait to read more by this author

First I’ve read by this author and it will not be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It had a great storyline that kept you guessing until the end. Could not put this one down. Well-written, with great characters and backstories. This is a series, and author, I will most definitely be adding to my tbr list.

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for this eARC.

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. This is the first in a new series about Detective Clara Jefferies. I enjoyed the way the author writes and how she intertwines the cast of characters with the setting and plotline, will be interested to see more in the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, not only was it a great crime book it was a lesson in how some other people live. I found it fascinating and I was sucked in from page one and couldn’t put it down. It was a story of despair, darkness, secrecy and hope. The story was interesting and the subject was handled sensitively bringing me into a world I knew nothing about. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series! A solid 5 star from me it was a cracking read.
