Synopsis:

    On a bone-chilling October night, Medical Examiner Rowan Winthrop investigates the death of her daughter's best friend.  Hours later, the tragedy hits even closer to home when she makes a devastating discovery- her daughter, Chloe, is gone. But, not without a trace.

    A morbid mosaic of clues forces Rowan and her husband to question how deeply they knew their daughter.  As they  work closely to peel back the layers of this case, they begin to unearth disturbing details about Chloe and her secret transgressions... details that threaten to tear them apart.

    Amidst the noise of navigating her newfound grief and reconciling the sins of her past, an undeniable fact rings true for Rowan: karma has finally come to collect.


My Thoughts:

    Rowan and her husband are called to a crime scene, and they need to leave their daughter's school play. They arrive at the scene and realize that it is their daughter's best friend. She has been brutally murdered. Then they find out that their daughter never came home after the school  play.

    We see Rowan and her husband, with the aid of the police search for their daughter.  While searching for her, they uncover some secrets, rivalries, and a lot of drama.

    This is a new to me author, and I  will just have to say I was impressed.  This book is the third in the series, and after reading/listening to this book, I will definitely be reading more of this series.

    The whole book and story is very addicting.  From the very beginning you will be hooked with the story.  The plot was suspenseful, and a whole lot a twists that I never would have seen coming. The characters meshed will with each other.  They were a couple that I love to hate. lol.  But overall they were really well incorporated into the book exactly the right way.

    I would definitely recommend this book and the series to everyone.  It is just that awesome.  

    I am  giving this book 4 1/2 stars.
