About The Book

Why does someone want the Lawrence family dead?

The Lawrence’s were the perfect family; successful, beautiful, and happy until one night their whole world was ripped apart.
Detective Sergeant Jenna Morgan is called to investigate the suspected arson attack and death of the Lawrence family at the charred remains of their stunning home, Kimble Hall.
The case takes a sinister turn as the body count fails to tally.
Suspecting that someone may have survived the inferno, DS Morgan and her team need to discover whether they have a witness, or someone far more dangerous.
Who set the fire? Who wanted this family extinguished beyond recognition?
As the case progresses, DS Morgan realises she has a calculating, cold-blooded killer on her hands, and the race is on to track them down before they kill again.

My Review

Mentioning another of Diane Saxon’s books The Keeper which is now known as Find Her Alive as one of my most favourite reads of 2020 so far, I had high hopes going into this read – and I wasn’t disappointed. It was great to see Jenna Morgan again and characters I had grown attached to as well.

Now being a proud owner of a Dalmatian myself, it was nice to see Domino making a reappearance and I thought the sub plot involving him in a crime was a stroke of genius and a welcome diversion from the main plot! The main plot kept its pace well and it was thrilling to follow the story when the police realised that the amount of bodies didn’t match up with the amount that there should be in the wreckage from the fire. Who had escaped and were they to blame?

It was nice to see Jenna and Mason’s working relationship especially with Ryan joining them too and it was nice to see Fliss and Mason’s relationship develop too. I found myself willing Jenna to put all the pieces together and get there quicker until the story comes to a blinder of an ending. I liked that this was a little different to Find Her Alive where we got inside the mind of the culprit but didn’t know who it was until just before Jenna did. This time around, we knew from the outset and followed the storyline as Jenna and her team tried to get to the bottom of it all.

I did find that the plot slowed a little in places but the author managed to quickly pick up pace again so it wasn’t too much of an issue. I can’t wait to read even more from the author, she is fast becoming one of my favourites!
