Beneath a good book is a great writer

Wow, I loved this as a kindle book but was still very much captivated by the audio book version. Leslie Wolfe always weaves a cleverly crafted plot that contains twists that you don't see coming and this book is no exception and might just contain more than normal. The story is told by multiple characters, as there is a lot going but it never gets confusing, it just drags you deeper into the mystery as you learn a little more. This is book two and can be read as a stand alone but as the first book was just as good why would you? The characters are just great and the author always writes about a compelling and strong lead female character that even though you know she will get the bad guy in the end, you can't help but hold your breath because you care for what happens to her and her family. Especially as most of them have there own complications and troubles to over come while helping others. This in no way distracts from the nail biting roller coaster of a mystery. This is a good example of why Leslie is one of my favourite author's and a must listen.

And what about the missing runaway? All the cases get complicated and with time running out for the teenager Kay will have to do things her way if she wants to uncover the answers and stop a killer.
I like the narrator. I would say she is a big reason the story is so emotionally charged but I know that is down to the writer. So I will just say she is brilliant at making a tense situation even more so. I hope she continues to read this series.
