Detective Morgan Brookes #11
Morgan shivers in the darkness as she walks through the park towards the abandoned building. She sees the body and the blood dripping onto the cold, frosty grass. A beautiful teenage girl is dead. Morgan feels rage build inside of her as she realises who it is…
Arriving at a quiet family home on the outskirts of the Lake District, Detective Morgan Brookes must deliver devastating news to a heartbroken mother. Seeing Lexie’s pink boots against the side of the house, she remembers the girl’s happy face and can’t help but think of her carefree childhood. Three years ago, Morgan saved Lexie from a serial killer, who is now behind bars. But this time, she’s failed to protect her.
Certain a new and more terrifying killer is at large, Morgan finds a neighbour who claims a man in a silver car was watching Lexie’s house. Then she discovers that Lexie was meeting other survivors of serial killers at a local victim support group. Another girl, Milly, thinks she has been followed by the same silver car.
But just as Morgan rushes to warn the other women, the case takes an even more sinister turn. One of them is found dead, posed in a chair with her hands tied in prayer. Flames engulf the church where the victims usually meet, with several of the others trapped inside.
Morgan manages to save the women just in time, but she knows this killer will never give up. To find him, she must relive every terrifying case she’s ever worked on. Somewhere in her history lies the key to saving more lives, but Morgan has no idea that this dangerous individual wants her as his final victim…

Review
I have liked Morgan from the very first time I ‘met’ her and I love ther more each time I read the next book in the series.
I sometimes pity Ben, because Morgan seems to attract killers like a light attracts moths and every time he lets her out of his sight, he must be fearing the worst.
But Morgan is not your average woman neither your average police officer. Although she has looked death in the eye more than once, it will never ever stop her from doing her utmost to stop the villain.
Who is this maniac roaming the streets thinking he is the best of the worst?
The police does not really have a clue and like the saying goes ‘don’t call us, we’ll call you’ it can be altered a bit to fit this book. If Morgan cannot find the killer, you may be certain the killer will find her…
I compare this series to a crown where each story is a gemstone to be added to it. 5 stars
Thank you
