Four-year-old Kayden has been sitting alone on the little patch of tired grass outside his house for hours. His cheeks are wet with tears as he waits for his mother's warm embrace. But she'll never arrive to pick up her darling boy. She'll never be seen again…
Church Road is a quiet corner of suburbia where happy families play in the local park and neighbours smile as they pass in the street. But behind the bright red door of number 8 lies the body of Billie Reeves, a young mum who just took her last breath.
Serena is Billie's sister. When she found out her boyfriend had been obsessively calling Billie, she'd all but cut her from her life. But not before vowing she would make Billie pay for ruining her relationship…
Shaun is Billie's ex-boyfriend. He left her the moment she fell pregnant. When he turned up at Billie's door, demanding to see Kayden, she refused to take the risk of him hurting her precious son. He'll do whatever it takes to get his little boy back…
Nadia is Billie's best friend. Their kids attended the same school and Billie often opened up to Nadia about her struggles as a single mother. She knows Billie's deepest, darkest secret. She promised never to tell, but that was before the argument…
When police investigate the quiet little street, they discover everyone was whispering about Billie's late-night callers. What was going on behind the closed door of Billie's small home? And if someone was prepared to kill her, what do they know, and who will be next?

My Review
This is book #12 in the Gina Harte series. Whilst part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone book. I love this series, and really like Gina as a character. She's not perfect and certainly has her faults, but I can't help but admire her! She finds herself working on a case of a murder of young single mum, Billie Reeves. I was immediately drawn into the storyline, shocked by the circumstances of Billie's death and my heart broke for her son, Kayden.
The story was fast paced and grabbed my attention from the first page. The main storyline focussed on the investigation itself, which twisted and turned throughout the book. The author has done a fabulous job of keeping the killer's identity under wraps, and my opinion on who it was swapped and changed as the book moved on. I certainly didn't guess where it was heading and loved the red herrings and dead ends that the author chucked in just for good measure!
Not only did we get an amazing crime investigation storyline, but we also get another look into Gina's personal life. I'm gutted at how things are going between her and Briggs, they seemed absolutely perfect for each other! I have no doubt that Briggs will come to his senses at some point soon, but until then I'll just have to watch Gina making things worse for herself! I also love her menopause storyline, broaching on something which is always considered a taboo subject! Top marks to the author for including it and big hugs to Gina for everything she's going through…I'm right with ya girl!
I think this was my favourite book of the series so far! I really got into the investigation, the characters all added their own something to the storyline and there were lots of secrets and lies to work your way through! This was a fabulous crime read, which I would definitely recommend!
