The house is deathly silent as the summer sun starts to creep in through the dusty windows. The children should be waking up, the parents should be cooking breakfast. But they all lay still, their heads on their pillows, lifeless eyes staring at nothing, their bodies waiting to be discovered…
When a couple and their young twin boys are discovered brutally murdered in their beds, everyone suspects this is a home invasion gone tragically wrong. But as Detective Madison Harper walks into the run-down house that is eerily empty, she isn’t so sure.
Talking to the neighbors, Madison soon discovers that the family only recently moved to the small town of Lost Creek, Colorado. No one has met them, and no one knows their names. With nothing to identify them in the house, or even to show that the house belonged to them, Madison is suddenly faced with not only having to find a cold-blooded killer, but needing to identify the victims too.
Then, Madison’s heart stops in her chest when she discovers a small yellow t-shirt in the back of the family’s vehicle that says Daddy’s Girl. The couple must have had a daughter as well as the twin boys, but where is she? Madison suspects she’s been abducted, and vows to find the missing little girl before it’s too late.
But as Madison makes a breakthrough in identifying the family, she discovers they had a secret that changes the whole course of the investigation. Madison knows with every second that passes the chances of finding the girl alive get smaller, but she’s prepared to risk everything to find her, even her own life…

Review
What can you say about a book by this author? I don’t have to think long and hard about to answer that question. They are, each and every one of them, gemstones. They are amazing, suspenseful, filled with heartbreak and with characters you love at first sight like Madison, Nate and Brodi of course and baddies you hate with all your heart.
There are people who seem to have a heart of stone, but some don’t seem to have a heart at all. OMG the things they are capable of without the slightest bit of remorse is beyond words.
I had a lot of Oh Noooo moments, but there was also an Oh Yesss! moment. There were moments when I held my breath and moments I smiled.
The author really knows how to keep your attention. I was dreading the thought that at one point I would finish the book and would be forced to wait a few months for my next dose of Madison and Nate. 5 stars
Thank you
