Becky Kincaid ventures out in the middle of a snowstorm to buy a car seat for her unborn baby and never makes it home. When a second pregnant woman disappears, Marissa Rooney and the team at the Holt Foundation fear a sinister motive lurks behind the crimes.

Lead investigator Seth Crawford desperately searches for the thread that binds the two cases together, knowing that if he fails, another woman will soon be gone. While Seth hunts for clues, a madman has Marissa in his sights and she carries a secret that could tear her whole world apart.

Can Seth stop the killer before he reaps his...dark harvest?

When Marissa hasn't heard from her daughter for a few days, she starts to worry. This isn't like Brooke at all!! When she still can't get through to her and hears from her best friend, who hasn't seen her either, she goes to the police. The police aren't in a rush to find Brooke, but Marissa pushes them because Brooke needs insulin and she doesn't have her back up with her. If she doesn't get it soon she will die!! It's a race against time for Brooke!

The plot of this was, once it got going, fast paced and thrilling. This is the first book in a series and as such, has a lot of world and character building to do, but it's done well enough here that I didn't mind it!! I enjoyed seeing Marissas back story and learning more about her. I enjoyed getting a peek into the bad guys thoughts too. Seeing Brooke going through what she was going through was tough but added extra tension to the story.

Character wise, they were all well written and developed. Marissa is a great character. She has had a tough time and is just trying to make a living. As any mother would, she does everything she can to find her daughter, but it's helped when she is approached by a wealthy lady to run a new concept she has. She wants to open a foundation that will help people look for missing people, they will also help the victims of things like this. Marissa accepts and so has extra power to help her daughter.

In all, this was a great read. I flew through it!! It's over 14hrs long but didn't feel like it. I am looking forward to the next one!!

The duel narration was perfect! Both narrators read this extremely well, they were easy to listen to and gave a great performance. Both had plenty of tones for the different characters and I enjoyed their narration.

I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars. Compelling, sad and hopeful

4.5 Stars. Compelling, sad and hopeful. Brutal murders. There are several twists throughout this story. Was the camp drowning accidental? Believable characters, interesting dialogue and easy to follow storyline. Somewhat of a cliffhanger ending.

"A swift mental calculation followed by a judgmental look. Ironically, the same people who treated her like she was a lower life-form for getting pregnant with Brooke at sixteen were often the first to picket an abortion clinic."

"How hard was it to order a f'ing coffee? They should have two lines—one for regulars, one for the galactically stupid."

"Seth missed drinking—how the sweet oblivion of alcohol made everything fade from his mind until there was nothing. His shrink called drinking a crutch. His sponsor called it a problem. He called it a solution, but they couldn’t all be right."

"My wife never made it anywhere in her life on time,” said a middle-aged man with a bulbous nose and gin blossoms staining his cheeks. “Except for divorce court. God@@ right she made it there on time.”

I may re-read this story and am interested in other works by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patchell is a reader's dream on excellent writing

WHAT DID I DISLIKE.....you must be kidding. I now have only one book left of Patchell's Holt books and I am saving it for this last book. What a marvelous storyteller; it kept me reading until I couldn't stay awake another minute. She grows better with each book. I don't know who would be in comparison! I have around 29,000 books on my Kindle; I've been reading something since I was 4 yrs. old and I'm now 90. She should be listed along with the great writers of our time and brought out in separate advertising so new readers can find her. I live in a retirement community and I have told everyone to read her books. I know all this sounds 'over the top' but I want all avid mystery readers to enjoy her as much as I have. You won't be sorry. What a way with words; how descriptive can one person be; where does she get the ideas behind her books. I would love to talk to her personally (and believe it or not, I can still talk). Believe me....just try the Holt Foundation books or the "Save Her, etc. (4 separate books) and you won't be sorry. Another happy reader.

Very good product of a twisted but obviously socially acceptable mind. To write an intricate blend of plot and characters had to come from a brain with a mind with the ability to understand evil to a degree. This book makes it enjoyable to read that product.

This book was a great read: the plot, the characters, the storyline all great. I could not put it down. My only dislike was the profanity used so often in every chapter, and that’s the reason for 3 stars instead of 5. Maybe someone could explain to me why a perfectly good book has to have all the profanity when it adds nothing to the story and is useless.

I loved almost everything about this story. The storyline and characters are fantastic. The only thing I felt was off was the pace. It felt like it moved slower than it could have. It didn't detract too much from the story, though. I would like to read the rest of this series. I have not read any other books by this author but plan to now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A top notch crime thriller.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2024

I rarely read crime novels that are set in recent or current time. I took a leap of faith with this book because of glowing reviews. I am so glad I did because this novel is a classic of the genre. Characters are vividly drawn, interestingly flawed in some way and most importantly memorable. The plot is diverting and easy to follow. The action is excellent with the tension palpable. Highly recommended.

A bit of a slow start but once I got all the characters straight in my head the story raced ahead. It was cold and set I felt it all. Good writing.
