I really enjoyed reading this book, even though parts were difficult to read due to the subject matter. Meanwhile, two young hikers go missing and it’s up to Kelly to lead the search. But digging deeper reveals ties to other unsolved disappearances and Kelly and her team are in a race against time. The story is frighteningly realistic; the crimes, as they take place are described brilliantly... the next one can't come soon enough.' Nigel Adams Book Worm Family secrets are hiding a legacy of lies. Can DI Kelly Porter get to the truth before innocent lives are left? I enjoyed the Kelly's family dynamic. Kelly is not close to her family and ran away to London when her father an ex policeman passed away. In the past Kelly has always felt that her mother thinks Nikki is the perfect daughter. Nikki and Kelly cannot be in the same room without arguing. Nikki chose to stay in her hometown and married young, I suspect she is jealous of Kelly. Their mother obviously has a terminal illness which she has not disclosed to Kelly or Nikki. I hope Kelly and Nikki will be able to put aside their long held animosity to care for her.
