BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Former homicide detective Nicole Foster has hit rock bottom. Driven off the force by her treacherous partner and lover, she’s flat broke and struggling with a gambling addiction. All Nicole has left is the dream of a warm bed at a homeless shelter and the haunting memories of three-year-old Kelsey Chase—whose murder case ended her career.

As Nicole obsesses over the old facts, she realizes everything about that case felt off: a disinterested mom, a suicidal pedophile, and too many questions left unanswered. When the little girl’s grieving father begs Nicole for help, she’s drawn back into the investigation…and given one shot at redemption.

But the deeper Nicole digs, the more evil she uncovers, including betrayals that hit painfully close to home. Will a shocking discovery be the key to finally getting justice for Kelsey and resurrecting her own life?

REVIEW:
3.25 Hearts Ok so I enjoyed this book for the most part however some things really got on my nerves. First the mom of the missing girl. I mean really what mom brings her 3 year old child out to the car and leaves her in it because she is acting up in the car. And then she goes home and goes to bed? Come on. What kind of a mom is this? One that got on my nerves is what.

Danny is a bit of a pain as well. I swear I would have looked over my shoulder and said “I don’t know if it is possible but can you breathe on my neck a little hotter please?” because he is always right over Nicole’s shoulder when she works. He is also egotistical and takes a lot of Nicole’s credit. Something about him is just, well, irritating.

And finally there is Nicole. She is a doormat when it comes to other people. She is good at her job but lousy at standing up for herself. And while she can come up with retorts she never says them outloud. Why bother coming up with them then?

Now the thriller/suspense part of this is great. I had an idea of who did it but wasn’t sure with all the twist and turns in the story. As much as the people drove me nuts in this story they drove me just crazy enough that I kept wanting to read the story.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
