Publisher's Summary

The DNA results are back. And there’s a serial killer in her family tree....        

Liz Catalano is shocked when a DNA ancestry test reveals she’s adopted. But she could never have imagined trying to connect with her unknown family would plunge her into an FBI investigation of a notorious serial killer.

The Tri-State Killer has been abducting pairs of women for 40 years, evading all police efforts and leaving barely a trace behind.

Can Liz figure out who in her new family is the cold-blooded killer? And can she save his newest victims before it’s too late?

A gripping thriller for fans of My Lovely Wife, Netflix’s Making a Murderer and anyone who’s ever wondered what their family tree might be hiding....

Terrible narration

I could not get beyond the first chapter. The “valley girl” narration is intensely annoying and made this unlistenable.

Disappointed

I really liked the idea of this book but found that the story was very basic & obvious. It reminded me of books I read as a teenager rather than adult fiction & I don’t think the performance helped as it sounded almost child like in voice. I was left frustrated in many parts that I just had to stop listening for a while. The background idea I felt was a good one. It was just not executed in a way that I enjoyed.
