Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of this crime thriller by Stacy Green, narrated by Amelia Sciandra - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Private Investigator Lucy Kendall, disillusioned by her time working as a CPS case worker and by the loss of her own sister, is on a personal mission of vengeance against those who hurt small children. When she learns about missing 8-year-old Kailey who never made it home after school, she is desperate to find her. Lucy becomes fixated on one of Kailey's neighbors who is a convicted sex offender and who Lucy knows through her CPS work. His brother is a police detective on the case, so Lucy is convinced he won't be considered a prime suspect. And time is ticking to find Kailey.
What a riveting book! Of course, the subject matter is disturbing but I couldn't stop listening. There were so many characters that kept you guessing as to their real motives and plenty of plot twists along the way. Lucy is an interesting character - you'll find yourself rooting for this self-proclaimed killer! The narration was spot on and easy to follow. This is the first in a series - I can't wait to read more of Lucy's adventures.
