When police rescue five-year-old Jenna Thompson from the dark closet where she's been held captive for days, they tell her she's a lucky girl. Compared to the rest of her family, it's true. But even with their killer dead of an overdose, Jenna is still trying to find peace 25 years later.

But the Truth

On leave from her forensic artist job, Jenna returns to Nashville, the city where she lost so much. Instead of closure she finds a new horror. Detective Rick Morgan needs Jenna's expertise in identifying the skeletal remains of a young child. The case jogs hazy, half-buried memories - and a nagging dread that Jenna's ordeal hasn't ended.

Is Even Worse

Now other women are dying. And as the links between these brutal killings and Jenna's past becomes clear, she knows this time a madman will leave no survivors....

not as good as I'd hoped

This is the first book by Mary Burton that I have read and I bought it on the strength of the reviews on Amazon. Now I'm wondering if I have read the same book as everyone else. The story was not bad and generally quite readable, but I would not term it as "romantic suspense". Despite the body count there is not a great deal of suspense, and the "romance" comes very near the end, rather like an afterthought. However, the main problem with the book, which really spoiled it for me, was the large numbers of errors, both in the typography and in the narrative. You learn to expect a few mistakes of type-setting in mass market paperbacks, but here there were endless differences in the story. One of the characters was introduced as having dirty blonde hair, but a couple of paragraphs later she was a brunette. On another occasion the wrong character's name was used. And there were many more instances of poor or non-existent editing, which I regret I didn't note down at the time as I cannot find them again and don't intend to re-read the book to find them. It may seem trivial, but these errors really stood out to me, and coupled with the mediocre writing and plotline I shall not be ordering any more of Mary Burton's books.

Beginning to think like Mary Burton, quite easy to follow and keep with the story. However there are very twists which keep you engrossed. Look forward with interested to reading next in series

A very good read.

Mary Burton is relatively new to me, but I have read a few of her series now and thoroughly enjoyed them. Tense, deep and a bit of romance.
I like the way in her series you follow on with the family members and other characters previously mentioned. My only comment would be that each is a very similar format - enjoyable none the less.

Loving this series!

Enjoying Mary Burton. Read two of the four I ordered. Reading the 3rd as we speak. Like to keep them in order to see the characters' lives develop.

The stories move along just at the right pace for me.

Liking the characters. Getting to know them.
