Two girls missing but who else is in danger.
When the body of Lola is found police detective Alex King and her partner Chloe Lane are on the case when a second women goes missing can King and Lane put the clues together in time to save her? During all this Chloe's past comes back to haunt her, with her brothers death hanging over her and the case of the missing and murdered women can Chloe hold it together or will her past get the best of her.
I received an advanced copy of this book from Net Galley, I found the book a little slow to start with. Once it got going I really enjoyed it. I found the book kept me guessing about who the killer was, I found the killer to be every good plot twist. I found myself feeling really sorry for Chloe with all her family problems I felt I could sympathies with her as I have a lot of family drama myself. I also really felt for her with what was happening with her brother and nobody believing her. I found the book to be well written with good structure and plot lines. I found the characters yo be well thought out and believable which really helped the plot flow smoothly.
I have chosen to give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I did really enjoy the book and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good serial killer thriller.

The main storyline is good, however the additional storylines and characters throughout can make it difficult to follow at times…the storylines do all tie in together in the end but I feel like structure of the book and the actual writing could have been improved to make it easier to follow

I had high hopes for this book based on the fact it started off really good - that typical excitement of trying to work out "who did it". But towards the end it just started to fall flat. The plot started to go all over the show, some of the storyline's weren't wrapped up well and it was a fairly lengthy read for a pretty bland ending. The female characters are meant to be strong but start to unravel and almost become a bit immature - considering their roles within the police this made no sense.
