They had not been forgiven. And they would never be forgotten ….

The killer has a message for Robyn and the carefully chosen victims. Can Robyn get to the truth before she becomes the next target?
My review
What can I say? I was totally hooked! I had never read a book from this author before and after reading this one, I deeply regret this.
I liked the way the story was constructed. The actions happening in the present were mixed with fragements of the past of the killer and the author was able to keep me in the dark for a very long time. A lot was going on, but it was never confusing and it attacted my attention the whole time.
For me it was an unputdownable book and the least I can say is that she went out with a bang. 5 stars.
Thank you, Carol Wyer (you gained a fan), Bookouture and Netgalley.
