A family is attacked by unknown assailants in their home, and the woman is left for dead.
There seems to be no motive for this brutal attack, but there are lots of secrets to uncover.
Val Costa is called in to consult on the case.

This is another instalment of a series I have enjoyed so far. Val is a top notch investigator, and finds it easy to take the lead on the case.
She has great instincts and together with Brady, unearths clues and they ask the right questions.

I do like the way Val is close to her son and Mom, and that her Mom has close friends to take the pressure off Val when Val is working a case.

However, something that does irritate me, is Val's tendency to talk about her cases to all and sundry. Her son, her mother and the friends, and to Kieren. Yes, I realise these are trusted people, but I really thought this is a no-no in the law and order community?

Another cliff hanger, and am waiting almost impatiently for the next book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

This is a page turner, a cannot put down to the ending novel by a talented author. Realistic characters kept the intrigue going and the story moved quickly. Thanks Netgalley
