This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I have been following Detective Josie Quinn since her first book Vanishing girls. I just love her character.

In the previous books, we have learnt about the background of different main characters. In Her Mother's Grave, we learnt all about Josie and her life before this series. In Her final Confession, we learnt about Gretchen and her past. This book was all about Noah. While these books do feature the same characters they can be read as standalones.

When we first met Noah in Vanishing Girls I thought he was a bit of a wet fish but by the end of that book, he was a firm favourite. As the series progressed I have fallen more and more for Detective Fraley. It was very interesting to learn more about Noah and his family. I found his sister infuriating! She kept trying to drive a wedge between Josie and Noah and that is something I am not okay with! I wanted to hug Noah in this book and tell him everything will be okay, even though quite clearly things were far from okay.

This story took many twists and turns and for such a long time, like the detectives, I could not work out how all these deaths were connected. Lisa did an excellent job of reeling me in and investing me in this story.

As always I am looking forward to more of Josie Quinn and her gang.
