About this listen
DI Amy Winter knows evil. She’s lived through it.
Four-year-old Ellen is snatched by a stranger in the dead of night. Her devastated mother, Nicole, receives four identical phials and a threatening note in a familiar scrawl that chills her to the bone. But she always knew this would happen. She’s been expecting it for years....
According to the note, one of the phials is poisoned. Nicole is given a deadly challenge: if she drinks one, the sadistic kidnapper will notify the police of Ellen’s location. The sender claims to be Luka Volkov, but Luka is supposed to be dead, killed long ago in a fire that haunts all those involved.
DI Amy Winter is still reeling from the discovery that she is the daughter of a serial killer, and her childhood trauma only makes her more determined to bring Ellen home. When another child is taken, Amy finds herself in a race against time. To rescue the children, must she seek help from the one person she wants to forget.

Great sequel
Really enjoyed listening and felt the narrative around Amy followed on well from first book. She is a little frustrating though. Narrator works for this series but takes some getting used to. Would like to have heard what happened to the doctor!

Enjoying this series, looking forward to the next in the series
Interesting concept for the story and well written - largely accurate procedurally other than the fact that a ‘kidnap’ would be dealt with by a highly specialist team 24/6 not a DI led squad! Otherwise, a decent story
Disappointed that the peripheral characters storylines were barely touched on given their prominence in the first book (eg her DS and her biological sisters relationship), but hopefully we’ll see that in the next book
