Publisher's Summary

Would you risk everything to protect your family?

Carla Andrews and Lorraine West are work colleagues and best friends. They socialise together, they work in the same bookmakers and they support each other as only best friends can. Then they are murdered together. 

When DI Tom Fowler is handed the case, he discovers a journal that Carla has left and must unpick the secrets Lorraine has kept hidden. Soon Carla’s and Lorraine’s husbands become the main suspects. It’s usually the spouse who is responsible, isn’t it? 

The investigation progresses until Isaac West, Lorraine’s 16-year-old son, disappears. Will the truth ever emerge? Will Isaac ever be found? And is knowing the truth always worth the sacrifice?

Ooh didn’t expect that ending. Excellent psycho story.

Well narrated story. A few too many family groups initially and took me a while to untangle in my mind. But all was clear nearer the end. A little cop love story on the sideline. Twists and turns that you wouldn’t expect made it interesting and certainly a surprise for a freebie.

Interesting but…

Storyline is good, I find the story interesting and kept me wanting to listen to know who the perpetrator is but the lack of forensic details in regards to solving the crime is disappointing. On top of that, there’s soo many unnecessary blabbing over the silliest topic. Although the end twist is interesting, I didn’t like it as it made me furious and wishing i didn’t read this book at all!
